The evidence in words
Safety profile
Very safe; lactose in concentrate can bother the intolerant (use isolate).
Interactions to respect
No major interactions are on record for Whey Protein at typical doses, but tell your clinician about everything you take.
What Whey Protein is
Whey is the fast-digesting fraction of milk protein, sold as concentrate, isolate, or hydrolysate. It is the most-studied protein supplement.
The honest bottom line
The default protein supplement. 20–40 g to fill a daily gap; isolate if lactose bothers you. It's convenience, not magic — total daily protein is what matters.
