Whey Protein Powder for Your Workout
Whey protein powder – made from whey protein – is one of the most popular forms of protein powder and is used by athletes in strength sports and functional fitness. It is characterized by its rapid absorption and provides the body with all essential amino acids important for building and maintaining muscle mass. In addition to whey, there are other high-quality alternatives such as casein protein powder, egg protein powder, or vegan protein powders, which are preferred depending on training goals and dietary preferences.
What Types of Whey Protein Are There?
Whey protein powder is available in various forms, differing in processing and properties:
Whey Concentrate
A common variant that contains a high protein content along with some fat and carbohydrates.
Whey Isolate
Through additional filtration, a powder with particularly high protein content and lower fat and carbohydrate content is created.
Whey Hydrolysate
Enzymatically broken down and therefore very quickly available – optimal when immediate protein intake is desired after training.
When should you use whey protein powder?
Many athletes drink a shake directly after intense workouts to optimally supply the muscles. It is also beneficial in the morning after a night's rest or in between as a protein-rich supplement. Besides shakes, you can also use whey protein powder in smoothies, bowls, or for baking. For those seeking variety, the store also offers protein bars & fitness snacks, which are perfect for on the go.
