More About Whey Protein Concentrate
Whey protein concentrate is a common athletic supplement used to increase dietary protein intake, often with the goal of maximizing muscle hypertrophy. Concentrates typically have a low (but still significant) level of fat and cholesterol but, in general, have higher levels of bioactive compounds as well as carbohydrates in the form of lactose. Studies have also shown whey protein is good for lowering blood pressure, treating type 2 diabetes, and even reducing chronic inflammation.
