Whey Protein Concentrate
Whey protein concentrate is a dairy-derived powder produced by filtering liquid whey, a byproduct of cheese-making, to retain high-quality protein and beneficial nutrients. It contains 70-80% protein by weight with all essential amino acids, making it particularly effective for muscle recovery and growth. While slightly higher in lactose and bioactive compounds than whey isolate, it maintains a balanced nutritional profile ideal for post-workout shakes, smoothies, and protein-enriched recipes.
