Protein is found throughout the bodyâin muscle, bone, skin, hair, and virtually every other body part or tissue. It makes up the enzymes that power many chemical reactions and the hemoglobin that carries oxygen in your blood. At least 10,000 different proteins make you what you are and keep you that way.
Your body contains several amino acids, and, while many of these amino acids work together for protein synthesis, some amino acids have other roles in your body. You need to consume amino acids every day from food because your body does not store these nutrients.
