プロテイン
含义: Protein shake or protein supplement — an essential part of Japanese fitness culture, now mainstream beyond gym-goers.
プロテイン has moved far beyond the bodybuilding niche to become a mainstream health product in Japan. Convenience stores stock protein bars and drinks, major food brands offer high-protein versions of regular products, and dedicated protein shops exist in fitness areas. The Japanese プロテイン market has exploded with domestic brands like SAVAS, be LEGEND, and Myprotein (extremely popular in Japan). It is now consumed not just by gym-goers but by health-conscious people of all ages, dieters, and even elderly people concerned about muscle loss.
