> Lately, I've been seeing so much whey protein at the natural foods store. Has anyone noticed any spectacular results from adding whey protein to their diet?
I generally feel better when I include it, and I can't really give you anything other than hunches about why. One is that it's pretty much pre-digested (if you're using the hydrolyzed version). The aminos are already ready to go. Quick absorption, all the essential ones are present.
The other one is less probable, but certainly possible. The whey might contain small peptide fragments that are modulatory in our own bodies. Endorphins are an example of small peptide fragments with a large effect.
