Whey Protein

What is Whey protein?

It is a water-soluble milk protein that is highly bio-available and is very quickly absorbed by the human body. Protein concentrate supplements are effective at increasing muscle mass and will help to build muscles faster.

What is the content of Whey powder?

It is a mixture of globular proteins isolated from whey, the liquid material created as a by-product of cheese production, and is one of the richest sources of BCAAs, which include the three amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine.

The protein in cow's milk is 20% whey and 80% casein protein, whereas the protein in human milk is 60% whey and 40% casein. The protein fraction in whey constitutes approximately 10% of the total dry solids. This protein is typically a mixture of beta-lactoglobulin (~65%), alpha-lactalbumin (~25%), bovine serum albumin (~8%), and immunoglobulins. These are soluble in their native forms, independent of pH.

The amino acid cysteine in whey is a substrate for the synthesis of glutathione in the body which is a ubiquitous cellular antioxidant; laboratory experiments have suggested that its components might reduce the risk of cancer in animals, suggesting an avenue for future medical research.

When do you use whey supplements?

Pop a scoop of protein powderinto morning smoothie or morning oats to set you up for the day. This is not only saving some time but overall it’s quite easy to stomach as the first thing. Whey is known as a fast protein meaning the protein goes quickly into the muscles and is therefore ideally taken with breakfast and around your training.

One of the reasons to use whey protein powder is that it’s far more convenient and easy at certain times during the day. Check out our offers today!
