Healthy living in Africa Campaign : Protein Defense | Nestlé

Our body's defences only function at their best when the body has enough protein. Our immune system is made up of mainly proteins and needs new protein synthesis to function. The proteins from our diet are broken down into animo acids and then put back together as important proteins the body needs. For example immunoglobulins, also called antibodies, which are a key component of our immune system.
