Protein is an essential part of our diet. It is the building block of human life. It helps build muscles, blood, skin, hair, nails and internal organs. It’s the most abundant substance in the body second only to water, and most of it is located in the skeletal muscles. It contains enzymes that regulate bodily functions, and assists with the transport of nutrients, oxygen, and waste throughout the body. Individual protein intake varies greatly based on age, gender and weight, but typical recommendations can range from 0.8-1.2g per kilogram of weight. One 8 ounce serving of Pier 33 Gourmet Mussels is packed with 8.5 grams of protein.
