Why is whey protein so much better than other types of protein. Whey protein is better than other types of protein because whey protein has one of the highest biological values of any protein supplement on the market due to its excellent amino acid profile, solubility, and digestibility. A high biological value means that it may "yield" more usable grams of amino acids. Also, it also contains the highest concentration of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) of any single protein source. This BCAA content is important to exercising individuals because BCAA's are an integral part of muscle metabolism and are the first amino acids sacrificed during muscle protein breakdown.
