What is Hydrolyzed Whey Protein?

Question

Accepted Answer

Whey protein is naturally composed of long chains of amino acids, which the body must first break down into individual amino acids to be used for protein synthesis. The process of hydrolyzation saves your body time and work by breaking these long chains into shorter segments. Hydrolyzed protein as a pre-digested protein means that your body absorbs the proteins at a faster rate than concentrates or isolates.  Faster absorption means that you start the recovery process at the optimal time, when consuming as soon as possible after exercise.
