Vegan Protein Chocolat

Proteins are essential macronutrients composed of amino acids, the basic building blocks of body tissue. They are necessary for our bodies to function properly and are involved in a multitude of biological processes, including tissue growth and repair, particularly muscle tissue. After physical exertion, muscles suffer micro-lesions: in order to strengthen, muscles need to rebuild themselves.

The amino acids provided by proteins are used to repair damaged muscle fibres through a process called ‘muscle protein synthesis’. In particular, leucine, an essential amino acid, plays a key role in stimulating protein synthesis in muscle cells. This activation enables muscle fibres to repair and grow, thereby increasing muscle mass over time.

Regular physical activity increases protein requirements. Although diet can cover part of these requirements, it is sometimes difficult to obtain sufficient quantities, particularly in the case of special diets or intolerances.
