What is it used for?
Concentrated whey protein powder is used as a dietary source of protein to help meet daily protein needs and support muscle maintenance and recovery, especially alongside physical activity.
How does it work?
Whey protein provides amino acids, which the body uses to build and repair muscles and other tissues.
How to take/use it
Mix the powder with water, milk or another suitable beverage and use it as directed on the product label. Do not exceed the recommended serving. It should supplement a balanced diet, not replace varied meals.
Common side effects
Bloating, gas, stomach discomfort, nausea or diarrhoea may occur, particularly in people who have difficulty digesting lactose.
Precautions
Avoid use if allergic to milk or milk proteins. People with lactose intolerance may need to choose a suitable lactose-free product. Consult a doctor before use if there is kidney or liver disease, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or a medically restricted-protein diet.
