Proteins are, aboveall, elements which constitute our organism's bodywork and they are used to fight against the continuous process of of our bodily structures of taking-to-pieces (catabolism) and reassembling (anabolism). However, proteins are a good source of energy, too: the percentage of their contributtion to effort is limited, and available reserves of this particular fuel are few. If this is complicated by reduced availability of these reserves, it is possible to run the risk of attacking the muscular structure

A SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENT FOR AEROBIC SPORTS

Every protein is constituted by a particular follow-up of smaller bricks: amino-acids.

There are some protein elements, as well, which, like glutamine, represent the essential source of energy for the immune system (which defends us from illness). Others then, such as carnosine, act as block against lactic acid. The athlete often needs all these elements, in order to favour specific supplementation.
