Research Summary
Whey is a protein-rich liquid that is separated from milk during the cheese-making process. It is a byproduct of cheese production and contains a high concentration of protein, along with various other nutrients such as lactose, vitamins, and minerals. Whey protein is considered a complete protein because it contains all nine essential amino acids that the body needs but cannot produce on its own. Due to its high protein content and rapid absorption by the body, whey protein is commonly used as a dietary supplement by athletes, bodybuilders, and fitness enthusiasts to support muscle growth, recovery, and overall health. Whey protein is available in various forms, including whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, and whey protein hydrolysate, each with different levels of protein purity and processing methods. Additionally, whey is also used in food products such as protein bars, shakes, and beverages, as well as in industrial applications such as animal feed and biofuel production.
