What is it used for?
Concentrated whey protein powder is a dietary supplement used to help increase daily protein intake. It may support muscle maintenance and recovery when combined with a balanced diet and suitable physical activity.
How does it work?
It provides whey protein, which is broken down into amino acids used by the body to build and repair muscles and other tissues.
How to take/use it
Mix and use according to the product label, usually by blending the powder with water or milk. Do not exceed the recommended serving. It should supplement, not replace, a balanced diet.
Common side effects
Bloating, gas, stomach discomfort, nausea or diarrhoea may occur, especially in people sensitive to lactose or when large amounts are consumed.
Precautions
Avoid use if allergic to milk or whey protein. People with lactose intolerance may experience digestive symptoms. Consult a doctor before use if there is kidney or liver disease, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or a medically restricted-protein diet.
