whey protein
Gym bag staple
Whey protein is a protein derived from whey, the liquid that separates from milk during cheese production.
It's popular as a dietary supplement among athletes and bodybuilders because the body absorbs it quickly: He mixes whey protein into his post-workout shake.
Whey protein comes in concentrates, isolates, and hydrolysates, varying in protein content and processing.
