There is growing evidence that whey protein triggers the activity of osteoblasts, the cells in bones which are responsible for building new bone. It can play an significant part in increasing bone density and improving the quality of collagen in the conjunctive tissue and skin. There is even some indication that whey protein may prevent or reverse the cross-linking of collagen that comes with aging, and creates wrinkles in die skin.
Whey protein is even being analyzed for its ability to aid protection against cancer and other tumors, both in animals and humans. It is already used to promote the recovery of cancer patients. At last, research demonstrates that whey protein concentrate helps lower cholesterol levels even better than soya.
In one study that compared soya beans, casein and whey protein concentrate, whey showed itself to be twenty percent more effective than casein and thirty-eight per cent more effective than soya beans. In another research, whey protein showed its ability to lower hypertension ten percent more effectively than soya does.
