Is Protein Really Enough to Build Muscle?
We’ve all heard it — “Get your protein in if you want to build muscle.”
While protein is crucial for muscle repair and growth, relying on just protein powders is like trying to build a house with only bricks and no cement, wood, or tools.
To truly build, repair, and sustain muscle, your body needs a complete nutrient matrix — and that’s exactly what whole food-based blends like Nurish deliver.
🚫 The Problem with Protein-Only Supplements
Most commercial protein powders are:
- Isolated nutrients with little to no supporting vitamins or minerals
- Often lacking fiber and healthy fats
- Can cause digestive discomfort
- Leave you with quick energy crashes due to lack of carbs or balance
These supplements may help hit your protein goal, but muscle growth is not a solo act — it’s a team effort.
