Promotes muscle protein synthesis
Whey is already rich in leucine. After hydrolysis, dipeptides and tripeptides enter circulation via intestinal peptide transporters, so the blood amino-acid peak comes fast enough to drive myofibrillar protein synthesis. People who have just finished resistance training most often map onto this rapid synthesis.
Gets amino acids into circulation faster
After extensive hydrolysis the peptide chain is already cut. Short peptides take the peptide transporter and need not be split into single amino acids first; little lactose remains. For people who digest intact whey protein more slowly, how it feels often lands on topping up essential amino acids faster after training. These short peptides come from beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin in cow's whey.
