Whey Protein

Milk is made of two proteins, casein and whey. Whey protein is considered a complete protein as it contains all 9 essential amino acids and is low in lactose content. It is a mixture of beta-lactoglobulin, alpha lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin, and immunoglobins and helps make definitive judgment and also assists in weight loss.

Benefits

•          Weight Loss: Research has confirmed that people have lost significantly more body fat and showed a greater preservation of lean muscle compared to subjects consuming regular milk.

•          Anti-Cancer: Promising results have emerged for the use of whey protein concentrate in cancer treatment.

•          Cholesterol Control: Studies have shown a was a significant decrease in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol for the subjects that intake whey protein over casein protein.

•          Blood Pressure: Research confirms that whey protein significantly reduces blood pressure in patients with hypertension thereby reducing their risk of developing heart disease and stroke.

Types

There are three primary types of whey protein

•          Whey protein concentrate - WPC contains low levels of fat and carbohydrates. Lower end concentrates tend to have 30 percent protein and higher end up to 90 percent.

•          Whey protein isolate - WPIs are further processed to remove all the fat and lactose. WPI is usually at least 90 percent protein.

•          Whey protein hydrolysate - WPH is considered to be the "predigested" form of whey protein as it has already undergone partial hydrolysis - a process necessary for the body to absorb protein. WPH doesn't require as much digestion as the other two forms of whey protein.
