INDIA, Jan 31 — If you know anything about nutrition or food in general, you know that protein is one of the three basic components of the food that we eat. Protein isn’t just found in our muscles, but in our skin, hair, nails, organs… the vast majority of our bodies’ tissues, really.
For something that is so essential to our being, it’s rather pathetic that most of us know so little about protein. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of whey protein products available on the market, most of them produced by highly reputable firms

f you know anything about nutrition or food in general, you know that protein is one of the three basic components of the food that we eat. Protein isn’t just found in our muscles, but in our skin, hair, nails, organs… the vast majority of our bodies’ tissues, really.
For something that is so essential to our being, it’s rather pathetic that most of us know so little about protein. Just like fats and carbs, proteins are actually an entire class of organic molecules. Unfortunately, many people do not understand that there are literally thousands upon thousands of different types of proteins, each one with its own unique properties. And saddeningly, it’s often difficult to convince Joe Atkins that his quarter pound daily intake of jerky and pork rinds might not be meeting his body’s protein needs.
As one might expect, all proteins, like everything else, are not created equal. They range in quality from nourishing, to worthless, to potentially damaging. The highest quality protein would be one that is both a complete protein – meaning one which contains all the amino acids – and one which the body is able to digest easily. Egg and Soy proteins are both very high up in the hierarchy, but Whey protein is recognized as king in the protein world.
What sets Whey Protein apart is that it is probably the most easily assimilated of all the proteins. Another great thing about it is that there are relatively few allergens. Whey is produced during the cheese making process, and the cheese takes the vast majority of allergy-producing casein with it, leaving nothing but muscle-building, readily absorbed whey behind. This whey is not only a great source of protein, but several essential minerals as well.
As a bodybuilding protein supplement, Whey has been exceptionally popular for quite a bit of time. This is because of its unparalleled quality, even more so than its ready availability. Whey protein’s easy absorption, high nutritional profile, and lack of allergens translate into quicker, more dramatic, superior muscle building.
While there are probably hundreds of variations on the theme, Whey protein comes in three general varieties: isolate, concentrate, and hydrolysate. All are excellent options for muscle building. Whereas concentrates and isolates have the whey protein in a dry powdered state, the hydrolysates are hydrolyzed and pre-digested with enzymes to make absorption that much easier. If money is not an issue, then hydrolysate is your best choice.
Recent studies have shown that whey protein has anti-inflammatory and perhaps even cancer-fighting properties. If you are interested in your overall well-being, not just in “getting your swell on”, this ought to come as some outstanding news. Whatever your intentions are in consuming protein, going the Whey way is the way to go. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of whey protein products available on the market, most of them produced by highly reputable firms. It’s not a difficult choice to make, but ask an expert if you need.
