Do I Need Protein Supplement for Muscle Gain

• No. It is not compulsory to take supplements, but
  many people take them these days. You can also
  get proteins from your diet. Some protein-rich
  foods are pulses, eggs, vegetables, nuts, milk,
  cheese, etc. If you plan to take a protein
  supplement, then be sure to check the product
  ingredients. 
• Amino acids play an important role in muscle
  development. BCAA stands for Branched Chain Amino
  Acid and there are three important BCAAs
  Valine, Leucine and Isoleucine. They are grouped
  together since they have a molecular structure
  that branches to one side. BCAAs are required by
  the body as they might help with many things such
  as reduction of muscle damage and building muscle
  mass

• You can take supplements made from different
  sources like peas, milk, quinoa, rice, plants,
  soya, etc. Whey protein supplements have become
  really popular now. Whey protein is obtained from
  milk and is said to contain 9 essential amino
  acids. Whey protein and casein are the two
  proteins found in milk. Casein digests slowly in
  the body when compared to whey protein. There are
  many popular whey protein brands in India such
  as MuscleBlaze, ON, Oziva, NutraBay, etc. It is
  tough to decide the best protein supplement for
  muscle repair.
