About Whey protein

Whey protein is a high-quality protein derived from milk during the cheese-making process. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own. Popular in fitness and nutrition communities, whey protein is valued for its ability to support muscle repair, growth, and recovery when consumed after physical activity. It is low in fat and carbohydrates, making it a popular choice for those aiming to increase protein intake while managing caloric intake. Commonly available in powder form, it can be added to smoothies, shakes, or recipes across various cuisines. While whey protein is generally considered healthy, individuals who are lactose-intolerant or allergic to dairy should avoid it. Excess consumption can strain the kidneys and contribute to digestive discomfort for some people, making moderation important for optimal use.
