The effectiveness of Whey protein for muscle building, regeneration, and performance is scientifically well-documented. Here's an overview of key findings:
📚 1. Muscle building & muscle protein synthesis
➡️ Whey protein stimulates muscle protein synthesis more strongly than other protein sources such as soy or casein – especially after training.
📖 Source: Tang et al., 2009 - "Ingestion of whey hydrolysate, casein, or soy protein isolates: effects on muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise in young men."
⚡ 2. Fast availability – perfect for the anabolic phase
➡️ Whey is particularly quickly digested and reaches the bloodstream quickly – crucial for building muscle after training.
📖 Source: Boirie et al., 1997 – “Slow and fast dietary proteins differently modulate postprandial protein accretion.”
💪 3. Protein intake & body composition
➡️ An increased protein intake (1.6–2.2 g/kg body weight) combined with training has been shown to improve muscle mass and reduces Body fat.

✅ 4. Whey vs. plant-based alternatives
➡️ Whey has a complete amino acid profile and a high biological value – it surpasses plant proteins in efficiency, especially with regard to Leucin (essential for muscle growth).
