What is Whey Protein?

A by-product of cheese

Made from cows milk

(20% whey, 80% casein)
Fast digesting rate
Low Fat, Cholesterol,
Lactose

Powder formed

How is Whey Protein made?

Cheese leftover
by-products

Fat removal

Spray drying

Increasing of
protein level by
removing nonprotein
materials

Whey Protein Concentrate

Low in fat
Has the highest biological value

Typically about 75% pure protein by weight

Cheapest Whey Protein

Whey Protein Isolate

Whey in it's purest form
Isolates are processed to remove fat and lactose

About 90%+ pure protein by weight

Higher price than Whey Protein Concentrate

Whey Protein Blends

The most popular of the whey protein powders
Combination of Whey Protein Concentrate and Whey

Protein Isolate

Hydrolized Whey Protein

Whey proteins that are predigested and partially

hydrolyzed for the purpose of easier metabolizing

May reduce the potential for allergic reactions
Horrible taste

Branched-Chain Amino Acids

(BCAAs)
leucine, isoleucine and valine.

Degradation of branched-chain amino acids involves

the branched-chain alpha-keto acid

dehydrogenase complex (BCKDH).
The BCKDH complex converts BCAAs into Acyl-CoA

derivatives, which after subsequent reactions are

converted either into acetyl-CoA or succinyl-CoA
that enter the citric acid cycle.

Alpha-Lactalbumin
-Lactalbumin forms the regulatory subunit of the

lactose synthase (LS).

Alpha-lactalbumin strongly binds calcium and zinc

ions.

Beta-Lactoglobulin
No clear function has been identified for -

lactoglobulin.
Binding to several hydrophobic molecules suggests its

role in their transport.

Downside
Allergic Reaction

Kidney Damage
Liver Damage
Increased Blood Acidity
Osteoporosis

Why Whey Protein?

Practical

Healthy
Whey is an abundant source of

branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)

 1. Breakdown of protein
2. Absorption of protein

3. Pancreas
4. Hunger-blunting hormone
5. Addition
