Whey protein

Whey protein is a high-quality protein naturally found in dairy products. It’s a complete protein containing all the essential amino acids the human body needs, and it’s easily digestible. Whey protein is also one of the best sources of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), including leucine, which has been shown to stimulate muscle synthesis. Interestingly, even a small amount of whey protein has been shown to be very beneficial, with just 10 grams of whey protein (combined with carbohydrates) shown to stimulate muscle growth when consumed immediately after exercise.
