Whey - the King of Proteins

"But where do you get your protein from?"

How many times, as a vegetarian, have you had to answer that one?

I wrote a riff on protein deficiency and vegetarianism in the Vaisnava Body Building group on Facebook today. While I was doing that I stumbled across this article:

Is Whey the King of Proteins?

The bottom line is that whey, made from cow's milk, is recognised by sports nutritional science as the best protein for building human body - hands down.

Whey protein is easily digested and absorbed quickly into your muscles where it can supply essential amino acids required for muscle growth and recovery. Its unique absorption and high biological value means it can boost recovery and physique development better than any other protein...Whey is considered by many experts to be the ultimate pre and post workout protein because it boosts protein synthesis (making new muscle) and creates the ideal environment for muscle growth.

Where do I get my protein from? Dude, where do you get yours?

All glories to mother cow!
