So, what is whey peptides?
Whey peptides are a highly bioavailable form of protein that is derived from whey protein. They are created through a process of hydrolysis, which breaks down the larger protein molecules into smaller peptides. Whey peptides are rich in essential amino acids and have been shown to promote muscle growth, improve immune function, and enhance recovery after exercise. Due to their high absorption rate, whey peptides are a popular ingredient in sports nutrition products and dietary supplements. Additionally, they have a mild taste and can be easily incorporated into a variety of recipes to increase protein content.
