    Protein is primarily what muscle is made of. Therefore an insufficiency of protein in the diet can limit muscle development even in the presence of adequate exercise. However, there is also a defined limit to how much muscle can be built by a specific amount of exercise. If your diet already includes adequate protein to build the maximum amount of muscle a given amount of exercise can build, then adding addition protein will not produce addditional muscle.

    Doctors point out that excess protein in diet can contribute (not cause) to osteoporosis, for example.

    Diets high in protein are often also high in purines -- this can lead to gouty arthritis.

    Diets high in the sulphur containing amino acids might put people at greater risk for cardiovascular disease.

    Diets high in protein stress the kidneys, because the kidneys have to get rid of the protein breakdown by-products, which can be very toxic if left to accumulate.

    How much is too much? Some experts feel that anything higher than double the daily requirement is too high.

    Yes, it repairs the tears in the muscle that are made up of protein in order for the muscle to regenerate it's tissue and grow larger.

    When you exercise, there are thousands of tears in the muscle, creating soreness.

    Muscles are protein ...and amino acids are proteins.

    Protein is made up of amino acids.
