Whey protein (whey protein or albumin) is the highest quality protein type, has a biological value of 104 and is in addition to casein, the main protein of milk. It is made from whey and due to the production method 3 types are distinguished: whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate and whey protein hydrolyzate.
The whey protein contains many branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), which make up about one-third of muscle protein. These amino acids are needed especially in the regeneration phase to the reconstruction of the destroyed muscle albumen. Therefore, and because the protein in the gastrointestinal tract can be absorbed very quickly, Whey protein is used for the direct supply of protein after exercise, while having a strong muscle-building effect. Also in the morning after getting support Whey Protein rapid uptake of proteins.
