What is WPC protein?
WPC protein (from Whey Protein Concentrate) is a whey protein concentrate, which is a component of protein supplements used by athletes, bodybuilders and physically active people. It is a protein of animal origin, obtained from whey, which is a by-product of cheese production. Currently, technological processes allow the isolation of whey proteins from whey - this is possible thanks to the ultrafiltration process, which allows whey to be purified from fat and lactose.
Whey protein concentrate is characterized by high biological value and a large share of exogenous amino acids. The undoubted advantage of concentrates of this type of protein are bioactive components, such as: lactoglobulins (36%), alpha lactalbumin (20%), immunoglobulins (10%), serum albumin (5%), lactoferrin (4%), transferrin (4%), proetosopeptones (20%), lactoperoxidase (1%). It is believed that among the popular types of whey proteins (including whey protein isolate and whey protein hydrolysate), it is whey protein concentrate that has the best taste! Due to the quality of filtration, we distinguish several types of WPC, such as: WPC34, WPC75, WPC80, or WPC88. The numbers indicate the percentage of protein in the product. The best-selling type is WPC80 with 80% protein.
Why is it worth trying WPC protein?
There are many benefits to consuming protein, such as accelerated muscle growth and reduced muscle recovery time. In the case of WPC, the presence of important nutrients and low fat and carbohydrate content are also important. All this makes WPC an excellent option for anyone who is on a diet (and is trying to reduce body fat) or wants to build lean muscle mass without extra calories.
Interestingly, many scientific studies confirm the beneficial effects of whey protein on physically active people. One study involving 192 athletes showed that taking whey protein concentrate led to an increase in lean body mass and muscle strength ( 1 ).
To sum up – rich in BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) and glutamine, whey protein concentrate is an excellent choice for those who want to build/maintain muscle mass or regenerate after training.
