This type of protein is a fast absorbing protein that aids in muscle tissue repair. Muscles grow by training the muscles this then breaks the fibres (hence muscle aches and soreness)and using a protien such as whey aids is speedier repair, the body repairs by replacing the broken fibres with more than there previously, hence muscles grow. should really be taken prior and post training for best results. Casein protein is a more slowly absorbed protein that should be taken at night to constantly feed the muscles throughout the night.

The amount of whey protein that you need to consume depends on your weight and diet. Whey protein supplements are taken in addition to your food. Your protein requirement needs to be arrived at considering your current weight and workout intensity.
