Whey Protein: Yes or No?

The answer is yes, an absolute YES! When talking about the supplements that you should take there is no way this one can go without being mentioned. Whey protein has been around as long as milk has been. Whey protein is a complete protein that is found in milk. It also has numerous amino acids, a large amount are BCAA’s (Branch Chain Amino Acids) which are beneficial if you are looking at possibly gaining muscle. It is often mixed with water or milk and the consumed as a beverage. It is easily the most used supplement across all of fitness. Also the benefits of whey are often

overlooked. The benefits of whey protein are amazing and I feel it should be including into the average daily diet.
