Whey protein supplementation resulted in a greater increase in vastus lateralis muscle thickness (8.4 ± 2.5%) compared to leucine-matched collagen peptides (5.6 ± 2.6%) after a 10-week resistance training program.

Practitioners should consider whey protein as a more effective supplement for increasing muscle thickness in untrained individuals.
