The International Protein Board - iPB - was set up in 2018 to provide a credible, science-based resource on all things related to dietary protein, health and wellbeing. With the aim of being the global authority on protein, iPB covers a variety of topics relating to dietary proteins, from its’ role in keeping the body functioning effectively, to safe intakes, to the real difference between various sources.
