Whey protein is a complete protein, popular for muscle repair and growth.
The three main types:
  • Concentrate: 70-80% protein, some lactose and fat. Cost-effective.
  • Isolate: 90%+ protein, very low in lactose and fat. Faster absorption, good for lactose-sensitive individuals.
  • Hydrolyzed: Partially broken down for fastest absorption. Most expensive, often used in medical formulas.
All are effective; choose based on budget, digestion, and dietary needs.
"Protein is foundational; whey offers convenience."
