Supplement
Insect protein is a protein-rich powder made from ground crickets, mealworms or similar insects, and it supplies amino acids the body uses to build and repair muscle and other tissues. People mostly look at it as an alternative protein source, though little research on it has been reviewed here so far. Because of that, it is too early to say how it compares with more familiar proteins such as whey or soy.
