                     How Does Protein Powder Help to Gain Muscle 
Proteins are very crucial for the body as each cell contains protein. 
Proteins are used for the repair of the body and are the building blocks 
of new tissues and muscles. They also help in the generation of new 
cells in the body. Proteins are required for healthy skin and hair. You can 
get protein from a variety of sources.
Does protein powder help build 
muscle?
Protein powder can be used to build muscle. In fact it is widely used by 
athletes, gym goers, and fitness professionals after their exercise or 
workout. There are different types of protein powders like 
Whey Protein Powder, Plant Protein Powder, Soy Protein Powder, etc. If 
you are lactose intolerant, then you might want to avoid Whey Protein 
Powder since Whey Protein is got from milk.

Do you need protein powder to 
gain muscle?
It is not necessary. You can get protein naturally from different sources 
like meat, fish, etc. and soy, milk, vegetables, nuts, dal, etc. However, if 
you are not able to get enough protein from your diet, or are looking to 
build a lot of muscle (such as for body building), then you can check out 
supplements. Some popular protein powder brands are NakPro, MB, 
MyProtein, ON, etc. 
Keep in mind some points while 
deciding the right supplement:
1. Protein Content: Check for the protein content in the supplement. If 
it is less than 60-70%, then it is better to select other products. 
2. Price of Protein: The cost of protein per scoop or protein per gram is 
different for different brands. Don’t just compare the MRP of the 
product directly. Example: Nutrabay Whey Isolate Chocolate costs Rs. 
2.32 for protein/gram, whereas MusclePharm Combat Whey Isolate 
Chocolate costs Rs. 3.33 for protein/gram. 
3. Protein Quality: Go with known brands that are certified and tested 
by a third party. Also, buy from authorized dealers, sites or the brand 
directly.
