- "The highest quality protein products are made of whey protein"
- "product's amino acid score should be the first priority"
- "PDCAAS score . . . superior method for the evaluation of protein quality"
- "The PDCAAS score indicates the overall quality of a protein."
- "The PDCAAS score indicates the body's ability to use that
product for protein synthesis."
- "The loss of lean body mass can occur despite meeting a
daily oral intake protein goal, in the presence of IAA
(indispensable amino acid) deficiency."
- " . . . whey concentrates can contain varying amounts of lactose . . .
whey protein isolates are lactose free"
