ABOUT PROTEIN THERAPY
Our bodies are made up of billions of cells. These cells use various proteins to help perform vital human functions such as processing nutrients, eliminating toxins, defending the body from infections, and regulating the body’s tissues and organs (see table I for some examples of protein and their functions). Many diseases such as cancer, liver diseases, and brain diseases are caused by malfunctioning or missing proteins from the human body.
