Before delving into the ins and outs of Whey Protein specifically, we must look at the basics, What is Whey Protein? Whey Protein is a source of protein that is derived from the water-soluble part of milk. Now lets not get it twisted the best source of protein is found in animal and plant sources of the whole food kind, but to be able to reach an adequate daily intake of approximately 1.2-2.2g/kg of body weight is where Whey Protein supplementation is key. 

Whey Protein can also come in various forms so it is important to understand that there are differing types, such as Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Hydrolysate, Hydrolyzed Whey Protein.
