The milk-derived compound whey is a weight loss aid that continues to be researched.
The whey is the liquid that remains after cheese has been strained. Amino acids are the building block of protein, and have weight loss and muscle building properties. These essential peptides, which are present in tiny amounts, are removed from the final product by high heat and acidic filters.
Protein content can vary from 35% up to 95%. The higher the concentration of protein, the more filtering is required, which increases the cost. When the concentration of protein reaches 90%, it is considered WPI.
