Raw Whey Protein
Protein has several sources and could be fabricated. There are plant and animal protein as well as seafood. Animals have more protein than plant in the sense that, the meat of a cow and chicken are proteinous so is their Milk and Egg Respectively.
In today's blog, I will be elaborating on protein from Diary product; "Milk" which contains Casein and Whey, the latter plays essential roles in Brain Development and Functionality. Like every other food supplement; one works better and nourish the body with the help of others, therefore protein without other nutrients might not be as fantastic as it uses to be.
What Exactly is Whey Protein?
From Diary product, in Cow Milk; Whey is one of the two major proteins found in it alongside Casein, which is manufactured during Cheese making process and is initiated by the addition of special enzymes which causes separation during this process that also produces curds, the Curds is then used to produce Cheese which is extracted leaving behind the Whey protein in liquid portion. Afterward, the liquid whey is pressurized and dried then turned solids/powder and used for various means.
Whey Protein Food Supplement
Whey protein is divided into three primary types; WPC- Whey Protein Concentrate, WPI- Whey Protein Isolate and WPH- Whey protein Hydrolysate and it consist of all the 9 essential amino acids and is low in lactose content; these features make it more suitable and term as the "Complete Protein" which is in stores Worldwide as food supplements.
BENEFITS AND USES
Whey protein has many therapeutic properties and there are ongoing researches to unlock the full potential of this class of protein and it's possible hazards. Below are some of it's benefits to the human body.

THE HUMAN HAIR
Lack of protein could result in hair loss, too much vegetable diets could result in this as well. Whey as a supplement to food or main helps to prevent this defect and helps grows lost hairs with adequate and accurate consumption.
BALANCED CHOLESTEROL LEVEL AND WEIGHT LOSS
It also helps in combating overweight and high cholesterol. In a study of 158 subjects grouped into two, those who were placed on Whey Protein "shed more body fat with high preservation of lean muscle than the subjects placed on control beverages".

ANTI-CANCER ABILITY AND ASTHMA IMMUNITY
In cancer treatment, Whey Protein showed a very promising result, although more research and studies are needed. Out of a group of children with asthma, Whey protein could improvise Response to treatment and aid strong immunity. For Example;

It's been a while my friend but I'm back.
Our family uses organic grassfed whey protein powder in our smoothies. It tastes good and it helps me not to be hungry too soon.
But after reading it helps with our hair too, that makes it even more reason to keep it in our diet!
Do you consume it?
