How To Easily Digest Whey Protein Powder Whey protein powder is made from milk. It is of three types – concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate. Some people find it tough to digest whey protein powder. It can be due to different reasons:
Taking a large scoop size or more number of scoops. Taking supplement with milk. Drinking it too fast. Lactose intolerance. Taking a heavy diet and supplement. Other reasons.
Many products in the market contain digestive enzymes in them to help digestion. Example: MuscleBlaze 100% Whey Protein Supplement Powder contains DigeZyme (multi-enzyme blend to reduce bloating). ON Gold Standard 100% Whey contains Lactase and Aminogen® digestive enzymes (to aid digestion of the supplement). You can compare different products, based on their ingredients and then decide the best whey protein supplement for you. Some companies sell digestive enzymes separately in pouches as well. People take them for digestion. I suggest always sticking to natural ways and to listen to your body. If your body is having a tough time digestion a product, look at why this is happening:
Are you consuming too much or too fast? Are you taking an authentic product? Are you allergic to any ingredients? Is your diet too complex and heavy?
There can be different reasons why you experience digestive problems. Always try to stick with your body’s wellness. Don’t take anything that your body doesn’t like or finds tough to digest. You can also check other kinds of proteins. In whey, you have the option of hydrolysate, that is easy to digest but costlier.
