What is Whey Protein Powder?
Protein is available in a variety of foods such as chicken, beef and fish, eggs, cheese, soy and vegetables. None of these will give you the concentration of protein as easily as taking a whey protein supplement.
Whey protein is separated out during the process of turning milk into cheese. It has the highest value in providing branched-chain amino acids, which build and retain muscle tissue.

Proof that whey protein works
Whey protein contains a combination of overall amino acid makeup in the perfect concentrations for optimal performance in the body, allowing you to produce more amino acids and build more muscle. Studies comparing whey protein to other sources found that both hormonal and cellular responses are enhanced with a whey protein supplement. Whey protein also acts as an antioxidant, which supports a healthy immune system. Best of all, consistent whey protein intake, combined with exercise will result in consistent muscle building.

Who benefits from whey protein?
Bodybuilders, dieters, athletes of all kinds and anybody who wants to gain muscle should consider whey protein. As you work out more and more, protein levels drop. Whey protein can help your muscles recover more quickly and grow faster by being a direct precursor to building muscle and essential amino acids, such as glutamine (a muscle enhancer, endurance builder, and muscle deterioration reducer. People who are dieting or wanting to lose a little extra fat can balance their blood sugar levels with whey protein instead of carbohydrates, which cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate. When your blood sugar is balanced, you’re not as likely to overeat and you’ll have more energy and better fat loss.

How much whey protein should I take?
The amount of whey protein you consume should reflect the amount of activity you are doing. 25 grams of whey protein each day is normal for training athletes, while bodybuilders looking to greatly increase their muscle mass can consume up to 150 grams per day. Extremely high doses of whey protein is not recommended. Your body’s liver can become overwhelmed and your results will not be as good as if you consumed consistent, lower amounts 3 – 5 times each day.
