Functional Protein: What is Whey Protein?

One of the questions we get here at Syntrax Nutrition from people curious about protein synthesis, protein function and different protein examples has to do with whey protein. What is whey protein?

Simply put, it’s a high quality functional protein found in the liquid portion of milk and it gets separated during the production of cheese. It is popular for lots of reasons not the least of which is the fact that it contains a wide range of essential amino acids which are absorbed quickly by the body.

Fast absorption compared to other examples of protein make whey a great choice shortly before, during or after a workout.

Whey protein benefits according to healthline.com include muscle growth, lower blood pressure, reduced inflammation, enhanced antioxidant defenses, appetite suppression and a boost to your metabolism.

If you or anyone you know is struggling to get an adequate amount of high quality protein to meet either your muscle building, strength maintenance or weight loss goals from the foods you eat every day, we invite you to explore the types of protein powders and flavors available at http://www.syntrax.com
