Whey protein is derived from the liquid by-product of cheese, which is known as whey. It is available in three forms, namely whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate and hydrolyzed whey protein. Whey protein contains higher protein content as compared to soy, egg and other milk created proteins and has a longer shelf life than other milk products in its powdered state. It also helps in repairing muscle tissues, promoting fat loss, building muscles, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reducing stress and inflammation, preventing diseases and improving overall health. Owing to these benefits, whey protein is widely utilized across the food and beverage sector in the form of infant formula, functional foods, sports and performance nutrition.
