'Native' Whey, the Superior Whey? Transient Benefits on 'Recovery', No Size or Performance Gains in 12-Week RCT
'Natural' whey is filtered right out of skim milk, 'regular' whey from the liquid 'waste" that accumulates in the cheese production - that's at least how the scientists in the study at hand define 'natural' - in the literature 'natural whey' often refers to whey concentrate/isolate vs. hydrolysates, ie. quasi-predigested protein with a completely different peptide content. I've discussed potential differences between 'native' whey protein and 'regular' whey protein supplements before. Unfortunately, the only evidence we've had, so far, has yet been the observation that it is digested even more rapidly than regular whey protein ( learn more in my 2017 article) - a mere increase in speed, however, doesn't necessarily translate to significant, let alone practically relevant increases in muscle and/or performance gain z ... without longitudinal studies, we're thus screwed when it comes to the interpretation o...
