Contact SupplierWhey protein is the protein contained in whey, the watery portion of milk that separates from the curds when making cheese.
Whey protein is used for improving athletic performance, as a food supplement, as an alternative to milk for people with lactose intolerance, for replacing or supplementing milk-based infant formulas, and for reversing weight loss and increasing glutathione (GSH) in people with HIV disease.
Whey protein is also used for protein allergy, asthma, high cholesterol, obesity and weight loss, preventing allergies in infants, late-stage cancer and colon cancer.
Whey from traditional cheese production contains about 0.8% protein corresponding to 13% of the dry matter. These proteins are known as serum proteins or whey proteins. As the nutritive value is considered very high and as human milk contains more whey proteins than cow's milk, numerous attempts have been made to separate these proteins from the whey, especially for use in baby food powders.
How it Works
Whey protein is a source of protein that might improve the nutrient content of the diet.
