* [[Whey protein]] contains high levels of all the [[essential amino acids]] and [[branched-chain amino acids]]. It also has the highest content of the amino acid [[cysteine]], which aids in the biosynthesis of [[glutathione]]. For bodybuilders, whey protein provides amino acids used to aid in muscle recovery. Whey protein is derived from the process of making [[cheese]] from [[milk]]. There are three types of whey protein: whey concentrate, whey isolate, and whey hydrolysate. Whey concentrate is 29–89% protein by weight whereas whey isolate is 90%+ protein by weight. Whey hydrolysate is enzymatically predigested and therefore has the highest rate of digestion of all protein types. | * [[Whey protein]] contains high levels of all the [[essential amino acids]] and [[branched-chain amino acids]].
