Whey protein
Whey protein and resistance training:
Whey protein and muscular hypertrophy: It was found that consuming whey protein soon after performing resistance exercise promotes muscular hypertrophy better than other types of protein. The relationship between post-exercise consumption of protein on muscle was reviewed by Phillips SM. An adequate protein source is needed to maximize muscle protein production leading to anabolism (building of muscle). Leucine rich foods such as whey protein are better at promoting muscle protein production. Additionally, milk proteins and principally whey protein show an advantage to soy and casein protein in promoting hypertrophy. Therefore, evidence suggests a benefit in early post-exercise consumption of whey protein or dairy-based protein to promote muscle protein production, net muscle protein growth and hypertrophy. (1)
