8 Signs You Might Have a Protein Deficiency

5. Hair loss

Our hair is made up of 90% protein known as keratin. If you don’t get enough nutrients, your hair may thin and fade in color. This happens because the body stops using protein for non-essential things like hair growth to preserve it.

4. Fatty liver

Fatty liver is one of the most common symptoms of a protein deficiency and if left untreated, can cause fatty liver disease, causing inflammation, liver scarring, and potential liver failure.

This is a common condition in those who consume a lot of alcohol, obese people, and even kids.
