Sore muscles

Yes, protein helps. However, the absolute best thing to help prevent and recover from post workout muscle soreness is to drink enough water.

Being hydrated is more beneficial than anything else.

Unless you have a large amount of muscle (IE, Powerlifter, Athlete, bodybuilder), you don't need nearly as much protein as people like to yarp about. Half a gram of protein per lb of LEAN body mass is more than sufficient. (Example: if you weight 200lbs and are 25% BF, you have 150lbs of lean body mass, which means 75g of protein is perfectly fine.)

Here's some general protein advice for normal people from WebMD.

And adequate rest

And magnesium & potassium can also help.

Protein, but don't forget the carbs.
