Nutrition: Dairy Proteins

Protein is essential for every person — and every stage of life. Whey protein is a complete, high-quality protein naturally found in dairy, and it’s a natural source of the essential amino acids, or “building blocks,” the body needs. Research continues to show whey protein’s important role in food and beverage formulations as scientists reveal its nutritional benefits, which include muscle recovery and muscle synthesis, and whey’s role on satiety, body composition and weight management.
