Okay, you know its protein, and the label says "Whey"- but what exactly is whey? Well, whey, or milk plasma, is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. Most of us know that milk has protein in it, so the stuff in the big black jug here is essentially a milk protein.

So what's the big deal about whey protein? Well, supposedly whey has the ability to be digested quickly, which allows the protein to become available very quickly. Most people use it after workouts to help increase the levels of amino acids in the blood, which are taken up by the muscles to help repair and rebuild them.

Anyway, when all is said and done, this is a decent source of protein for people who don't have time to eat huge chunks of meat, large quantities of eggs, or drink gallons of milk. At 24 grams of protein a serving, this product packs a whallop that can go a long way to help make healthy tissue stronger, or injured tissue healthy. Also recommend Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow if tendinitis interferes with your workouts or activities.

I'm an amateur body-builder on a budget. Most body-building experts suggest a minimum of 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. That's a lot. I used to eat several cans of albacore (tuna) to achieve the protein requirement but got concerened about Mercury levels in my body from eating all that tuna. Plus, you can only eat so much before you just get sick of it. This product makes getting all the protein one needs a breeze and at a cost signicantly less than that of tuna or any store bought food. In fact if there's a better grams-of-protein-per-dollar value available, someone please let me know about it! And from what I've read, Whey is the way (no pun intended) to go as far as protein supplements. Lastly, I think it tastes pretty good (close to chocolate milk) too, and doesn't have a lot (any?) of sugar, although it's hard to avoid clumps without a blender. By Scrutinizing Consumer
