Whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) reduces muscle damage associated with aerobic exercise, evidenced by decreased creatine kinase (CK) levels, whereas WPC and WPI do not show this specific benefit.
If you do aerobic exercise and want to minimize muscle damage, choose Whey Protein Hydrolysate (WPH). It has been shown to significantly decrease creatine kinase (CK) levels, a marker of muscle damage, compared to other whey forms. Take it before and after your workout.
