Advantages of whey protein for athletes

Cardiovascular exercise and weightlifting are important for the development and maintenance of muscle mass. The essential amino acids in whey can enhance muscle protein synthesis and improve recovery of muscle function. Plus, whey protein can improve athletic performance, and it has been shown to increase lean body mass. Athletes should consume between 95 and 200 grams daily depending on weight, age, and goals (for a personalized number, please visit www.thestronginside.com).

Whey protein has been shown to have advantages over soy and other types of proteins, such as better and faster absorption of nutrients.
