Whey Protein

Using a whey protein shake is perfect to help build muscle. Your body needs plenty of bioavailable protein after your workout to start the process of building muscle. Whey protein is perfect for this because it digests faster than any other protein source and also has the best amino acid profile for building muscle.

Whey protein powder is rich in bcaa's (muscle building amino acids) and very low in fat and carbohydrate so it can be used when trying to gain muscle and when dieting.

There are many different types of protein supplements such as casein protein and egg protein and these have their place, for example casein protein digests slowly so is perfect before bed when you need a steady release of protein, but whey protein is the undoubted king of protein and is by far the most popular!
