Whey is a by-product of cheese that is manufactured from cow’s milk and has the highest biological value of any known protein. Whey protein is generally a mixture of beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, and albumin which are soluble in their native forms.
Whey protein concentrates have a low level of fat and cholesterol, but generally have higher levels of bioactive compounds and carbohydrates. Body-builders and other athletes use whey protein for increasing muscle mass and speeding up recovery time. This is accomplished by providing the body with the proteins it needs for muscle growth and repair, without adding unnecessary fats.
Not just for bodybuilders and athletes:
Whey proteins have been shown to be very effective in treating patients with suppressed or otherwise abnormal immune systems by increasing antioxidant levels. Whey proteins are loaded with essential amino acids and branch chain amino acids which have been shown to help maintain muscle mass. This can be very helpful for seniors and people with active lifestyles.
Whether you are looking to build muscle for athletic reasons, or you just need more strength to get through your day because your immune system is not normal, the branch chain amino acids and other proteins in whey isolate are sure to give you what you need.
