Is Whey Protein
Good for You
Types of whey protein
The difference in the forms of whey protein basically stems from
their manner of processing. They also determine their nutrition facts.
1. Hydrolysate
Hydrolysate or hydrolyzed whey is whey that has been
pre-digested. It gets absorbed faster than the other forms. Hydrolyzed whey is
responsible for a 28-43% more spike in insulin level than whey in the isolate
form.
2. Isolate
Isolate whey protein contains 90%
protein and sometimes, even higher. It contains less fat and lactose as well as
lesser beneficial nutrients than is found in whey protein concentrate.
3.
Concentrate
Whey protein in concentrate form
contains around 70-80% protein. It also contains lactose and fat. Overall, it
is the most delicious of all the whey protein variants.
If you do intend to start
consuming whey protein, choose a concentrate as, not only is it cheaper – it
also retains the most amount of naturally occurring nutrients in whey. However,
if you are strict about the carbs and fats you consume, the isolate or hydrolysate
form may be a better option for you. Most of the research done on it has been
carried out in isolate form. The hydrolysate form offers the best
digestibility, making it the whey protein source for the medically ill and
infantile. They also have the least allergenic potential, making it safe for
use.
Whey Protein Nutrition Facts
One scoop (approx 32 g) of the
average whey protein powder contains 113 calories, of which 4.5% is borrowed
from the fat content. Total fat content is 0.5 g, of which saturated fat is 0.3
g. Trans Fat is 0 g. Polyunsaturated Fat and Monounsaturated Fat are 0.1 g
each. Cholesterol is 5.1 mg, that would make up for 2% of your daily
requirement. Sodium contained is 50 mg, which too, makes up for 2% of your
daily nutritional value. Potassium content is 160 mg, so you can expect 5% of
your daily potassium requirement to be met from a scoop of whey protein. The
total carb content is 2 g, out of which, dietary fibre makes up 1%. The protein
content is 25 g. You will find 2% Iron and 12% Calcium in the measured amount
of whey protein powder.
Whey protein benefits
It helps boost protein and BCAA intake by our body – Proteins are made up of amino acids. While a portion of our amino acid requirement is produced by the body itself, the rest has to be gathered from the food we eat. The amino acids that our body derives from external food sources are called essential amino acids. Whey protein consists of nine essential amino acids. On top of that, they are rich in crucial branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) such as leucine. Leucine is a growth-promoting amino acid. It also contains cysteine which encourages glutathione levels, which is a cellular antioxidant. Whey protein is most effective for inducing growth in our bodies. Human breast milk, fed to newborns, is 60% whey as compared to cow’s milk, which contains only 20% whey.
