About Whey powder

Whey powder is a high-protein supplement derived from cow's milk during the cheese-making process. It is rich in essential amino acids, particularly leucine, which supports muscle repair and growth. This versatile ingredient is commonly used in shakes, baked goods, and smoothies, making it prevalent in fitness-focused diets and global health-conscious cuisine. Low in fat and carbohydrates, whey powder is a lean protein option, though flavored varieties may contain added sugars. Its rapid digestibility makes it ideal for post-workout recovery, while its high protein content helps promote satiety, supporting weight management. However, individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergies should avoid it.
