About Protein Day
The establishment of Protein Day stems from the combination of the essential and non-essential amino acids that make up protein—nine essential and eleven non-essential varieties. This connection led to the choice of September 11 as the date of recognition. After its founding by Meiji Co., Ltd. in 2021, the rights were transferred to the Japan Calendar Association.
Incorporating protein into your diet is vital for building muscles, organs, and skin, making it a key component of a healthy lifestyle.
7-Eleven is committed to supporting its customers by providing an accessible range of protein-rich products and encouraging healthier eating habits. Join in the celebration this Protein Day and discover how easy it can be to enjoy delicious, protein-packed meals!
