Whey protein has been around for as long as the cow. It is only until recently that they discovered whey protein is very nutritious. In the old days, whey protein was discarded and fed to pigs. Recently though, through technology we are now able to remove the fat and lactose in whey making it the perfect protein.

Why Whey?

Milk consists of whey and casein protein along with fat, cholesterol, lactose and minerals like calcium. The “new” filtration method is able to remove the fat, cholesterol and lactose making whey a very popular protein source among athletes and body builders.

What makes whey so good?

Whey proteins have unique sequences of amino acids and small peptides that have demonstrated superior absorption and tissue-building effects than other proteins . Whey protein is very easily digested and utilized by the body. It also has a very high biological value (BV). BV is a measure of the efficiency with which protein can be absorbed and utilized by the body for tissue growth.

Originally egg was rated to have a BV of 100. A perfect score for protein. Milk came in at 85, beef products at 75. When the quality of whey was discovered , it was rated at 104 in its raw state and approaching 170 in its isolated form.

Amino acid content

Whey protein is very rich in essential amino acids. (EAA). EAA are the aminos the body cannot produce and must get through food and/or supplementation. Whey also has the highest value of branched chain amino (BCAA). BCAA are the most important amino acids more muscle growth and make up one third of the amino acid pool in muscle.

100g  of whey protein provides over 16 grams of branched chain amino acids (BCAA)
