What is it used for?
Used to supplement dietary protein, helping support muscle maintenance and recovery when combined with a balanced diet and physical activity. It is a nutritional supplement, not a treatment for a specific disease.
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 with water, milk or another suitable drink as directed on the product label. Do not use it as the sole source of nutrition.
Common side effects
Bloating, gas, stomach discomfort, nausea or loose stools may occur, especially in people sensitive to milk or lactose.
Precautions
Avoid use if allergic to milk proteins. People with lactose intolerance may need to choose a lactose-free option. Those with kidney disease or who have been advised to restrict protein should seek medical advice before use. Check the label for sugar and other ingredients if managing diabetes or food allergies.
