In February, the Sportsman’s Day is celebrated. Protein has always been an indispensable ingredient in athletes’ diets and has been winning the hearts of many audiences in recent years.
According to Innova Market Insights, the number of products launched worldwide from 2013 to 2017 claiming protein grew by 100%.
