Whey protein is considered a complete protein and contains all 9 essential amino acids and is low in lactose content. People commonly use it as supplementation, alongside resistance exercise, to help improve muscle protein synthesis and promote the growth of lean tissue mass.
Whey digests very rapidly. In fewer than 30 minutes it can fast-track a good portion of its aminos to your muscles, and that rapid delivery of amino acids to muscle cells has been shown to be important for pushing muscle growth.

Mr. lybrate-user Kumar, Thanks for the query.
Any protein supplement that contains least amount of carbohydrate or nil carb is better. There are quite a few preparations giving 60 to 80% protein, low fat and almost nil carbs, You can select any one of those. Whey protein is a good supplement. Even soy protein is also good. Thanks. Thanks.

Yes whey protein is considered a complete protein and contains all 9 essential amino acids and is low in lactose content. So helpful in gaining weight.
Are you doing weight training at gym. Then do it 2-3 times (alternate days not consecutive days) a week with at least 48 hours in between 2 sessions.
You need to take whey protein (by whatever name it comes. But it should contain 80% whey protein in it. E.g. For 30 gms it should have atleast 24 grams (80%) of protein.) use it only on the day you gym (within 10 mins of exercise). Dose is 30gms. For more details you can consult me.

From time to time, research suggests that consumption of milk and dairy products may help prevent weight gain or obesity or even prevent type 2 diabetes. Whey protein accounts for 30 percent of total protein in milk and the remaining 70 percent is casein. Whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrates are commonly used by bodybuilders.
