What is protein?
Correct!
Protein is one of the three main macronutrients. Proteins are made of amino acids, which the body needs, among other things, to build and renew muscles, organs, skin, and other tissues. The body can make some amino acids itself, but essential amino acids must be obtained from food.
Proteins are body-building nutrients made from many linked amino acids.
