All about Protein: essential for muscle building, recovery and fat burning
Whether you work out at home, regularly visit the gym, or are just starting out, protein is essential for your body. At Gymwebshop , we explain in this blog exactly what protein does, when you need it, what types are available, and how to achieve the best results. Our Raquin Method supplement line offers only the purest forms, so you can build up your fitness with confidence.
Why are proteins important?
Proteins are the building blocks of your muscles. During exercise, tiny tears occur in your muscle tissue. Proteins help your body repair these and rebuild them stronger.
Whether you want:
- building muscle mass
- recover faster after a workout
- burn fat without losing muscle
- or just getting enough protein on a busy day
...then a protein supplement is a smart and easy choice.
Frequently asked questions about proteins
1. Do I need protein shakes if I also eat healthy?
If you get enough protein from food (like chicken, fish, beans, eggs), a shake isn't strictly necessary. However, in practice, many people don't manage to consume it daily. A shake is then an easy and quick supplement.
2. When is the best time to take a protein shake?
The best time is within 30–60 minutes after your workout. But a protein shake is also valuable for breakfast or as a snack – especially for those with an active or low-protein lifestyle.
3. What is the difference between whey and collagen?
- Whey protein is ideal for muscle building
- Collagen supports skin, joints and recovery
At Gymwebshop we offer both under the Raquin Method , tailored to your goals.
