Proteins are important for regulating physiological processes, energy production and the body's structure. Proteins help compose muscle (skeletal, smooth and cardiac), bone, skin, hair and fingernails, just to mention a few. Protein is also a major component of hemoglobin in the red blood cells and the plasma proteins that are responsible for the clotting of blood.

Proteins are important in regulation the body's fluid balance by controlling the passage of water into and out of cells through the cell membranes. This generally happens through a process called osmosis. Many hormones are also made of proteins, such as insulin. Antibodies, which are the part of the immune system that destroys foreign substances entering the body, are also composed of proteins. Finally, protein is a major component of many enzymes that are important for the chemical digestion of food and also the production of energy in humans.

One of the functions of both carbohydrates and lipids is to spare protein. Indeed, protein can be utilized for energy production, but for the most part this is a last resort, such as occurs during a state of starvation. As much as 15% of daily energy needs may be met by the break down of protein. However, since there are no stores of protein, as there are stores of lipids and carbohydrates, the energy produced from protein comes from the normal turnover or breakdown of cell.s Any greater utilization of proteins as an energy source could be detrimental to the body's structure and regulatory abilities.

Natural Protein? Naturally!
Protein comes from both plants and animals, but not all protein is created equally. The protein found in Clif Builder's Bars is free of antibiotics, hormones and genetic modifications, giving you a valuable investment in your total body health.

So while an extra lean top sirloin steak or an organic chicken breast are great sources of protein, it's not always convenient to throw those in your briefcase or gym bag. That's why it's helpful to have a Clif Builder's Bar on hand as a portable source of great-tasting natural protein that has ingredients you know and trust.

Make Protein Work Harder For You
Staying healthy boils down to two simple ingredients: regular exercise and proper nutrition. Being active and eating healthy foods are no-brainers, but all too often people overlook the importance of getting enough protein in their diets. Virtually every part of your body needs protein to stay healthy, and when you work out, you especially need protein because your body is breaking down and repairing tissue.

The best time to grab a Clif Builder's Bar is within 30 minutes of completing a workout or competition--the protein helps your muscles recover quickly and gets you ready for the next training session. More protein also helps your body repair cuts, wounds, strains, stress fractures, broken bones, and other problems, which shortens the time you'll be on the sideline.

Build Your Brain with Clif Builder's
Have a big meeting coming up? Need to write a report? Grab a Clif Builder's Bar and get the brain boost you need to make it through. The protein in the bar helps keep your brain working properly. Brain cells talk to each other via messengers that are made up of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Therefore, what you eat affects which neurons will be firing, and that in turn affects whether you'll feel energized or sluggish.
