Abstract :
The popularity of whey protein among
athletes and the bodybuilding community has grown
significantly. Whey is a by-product of the dairy
industry's process for manufacturing cheese. It
constitutes only 20% of milk. It contains minerals, water,
lactose, protein, and fat. Whey protein is a potent source
of many benefits. Its antibacterial, antitoxin, and
immunomodulating properties aid in the treatment of
many ailments. It also plays an important role in the
healing of burns and wounds. It has antioxidant qualities
that aid in the battle against HIV. Whey protein
promotes muscle growth and strong bones, in addition to
improved athletic performance in athletes and
bodybuilders. It aids in preventing cancer,
cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
Whey protein is a necessary supplement for those who
engage in physical activity, like sports and exercise. It
also benefits sedentary adults, newborns, expectant
moms, and elderly people. However, in spite of its
numerous benefits, there are many myths that surround
whey proteins and therefore, are considered only for
athletes and gym-goers. The present review attempts to
cover an overview of whey protein, its components,
types, and benefits. It also aims to dispel different
fallacies about whey protein by presenting evidence from
scientific studies.
