About Whey proteine

Whey protein is a high-quality protein derived from milk during the cheese-making process. It contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a "complete" protein, ideal for muscle repair and growth. Popular in fitness and health nutrition, whey is commonly available as a powder that can be mixed into shakes, smoothies, and recipes. With origins tied to dairy farming traditions, it’s most associated with Western cuisines, particularly in the United States and Europe. Rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), it aids in recovery post-exercise, supports immune health, and promotes feelings of fullness. However, it may not be suitable for those lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy, and overconsumption could stress the kidneys. Low in fat and carbs, it provides a concentrated source of protein, making it a convenient supplement for active lifestyles aiming to meet their nutritional goals.
