Protein deficiency is a condition that occurs when a person does not consume enough protein to meet their body’s needs. Protein is an essential macronutrient that is important for building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and maintaining healthy bones, muscles, and skin.Protein deficiency can happen if your diet lacks enough protein, or due to medical conditions like kidney disease or digestive disorders that hinder protein absorption and metabolism. It’s crucial to get adequate protein from a balanced diet, including sources like meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts.
