What is a protein?
Proteins are organic compounds made out of amino acids.
How does nutritional protein work?
Ingested nutritional proteins - protein found in the food you are eating - are broken down in the stomach by enzymes, called proteases, into smaller so called polypeptides to provide amino acids for the organism - in this case, you. This includes the essential amino acids that the organism cannot biosynthesize itself.
The indispensable amino acids are leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, phenylalanine and histidine, but don't get hung up on complicated names. The names aren't important to you, I'm simply adding them to provide a little background.
