Detailed explanation-1: -Hair and nails are mostly made of protein. Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues. You also use protein to make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Structural Support Amino acids found in dietary protein are the building blocks of collagen, elastin and keratin, the structural substances that make up healthy hair, skin and nails. Hair is primarily made up of keratin, which helps to regulate its strength, volume, moisture and prevent graying along with collagen.
Detailed explanation-3: -How is protein used? The body breaks down consumed protein into amino acids, and absorbs it. It is used to build muscles and organs, to make hormones and antibodies, to be stored as fat, and to be burned as energy.
