Whey Protein Review
Most Fitness Trainers, including myself, subscribe to the opinion that Whey Protein is by far the most important supplement for bodybuilding.
Protein helps build and repair body tissue and is of paramount importance for building a muscular body. An appropriate amount of protein is the cornerstone of a balanced diet.
High Quality
Whey protein is a high quality protein derived from cow's milk and is essentially a 5 percent solution of lactose in water.
It is the watery fraction that forms along with curd (casein) when milk coagulates. Whey is removed from the curd during the process of making cheese; then it is centrifuged to remove fat, and is concentrated or dried
Whey Protein Isolate
Whey Protein Isolate is more pure than Protein Concentrate. Whey Protein Isolates are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein.
The Selection Process
The selection of a Whey Protein Powder might include an analysis of the following:
- Purity
- Amino Acids content
- Fat content
- Cholesterol content
- Taste
- Manufacture’s Reputation
- Price
