acids to prevent deterioration, give endurance and build mass. Proteins
supply these amino acids to the muscles which is why athletes use whey

WHAT IS WHEY PROTEIN?
Commercial whey protein comes from cow's milk. Whey is the by-product
of making cheese and was usually thrown away as a waste product. Now
researchers know that whey protein is high quality, natural protein that
is rich with amino acids essential for good health and muscle building. It
is naturally found in mother's milk and also used in baby formula. It is
being considered for use as a fortifier of grain products because of its
considerable health benefits and bland flavor.Although protein is also
found in other foods such as meat, soy and vegetables, whey protein is
proven to have the highest absorption (digestion) levels in comparison to
all others.

health, sports health, weight management and overall well being.Because
amino acids are 'building blocks' for the human body it is sometimes used
by patients to speed up the healing of wounds or burns.The high quality
protein that comes from whey makes it a recommended choice for those who
need optimal benefits from restricted diets including diabetics, those on
weight management diets and even ill patients not able to consume enough
protein in their diet to assist with healing.
CAN WHEY PROTEIN BE DANGEROUS?
Whey protein is a food and so it does not have have the risks
associated with other supplements. That said, too much of anything carries
risks. Extremely high use of whey protein can overload the liver which can
