Whey protein: tipos, valor nutricional e relação custo benefício

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate different brands of whey protein and cost benefit of this supplement in question. They were collected and analyzed 24 labels with the category of "protein supplements for athletes" being its whey-based protein isolated, concentrated and/or hydrolysed. It was evident that some Whey Protein marks had a high cost and a lower protein concentration when compared. Yet other brands showed a low cost, but the protein concentration is higher. It was found that only two supplements showed higher concentration of carbohydrate to protein. Thus, as the label is the only way to know what user is consuming, it must be clear and consumers need to be well managed as your reading.
