Whey Protein powder
Protein provides the building blocks for
hormones and neurotransmitters and antibodies,
not to mention being necessary for strong
muscles and bones. It is essential for metabolism.
Whey protein powder is one of the best ways to
obtain the building blocks of glutathione, the
most valuable antioxidant of the body.
Glutathione is made in the body and is used by
the white blood cells and the liver to detoxify
poisons in the body. This is necessary for a
muscle regeneration while enduring a strength
program.
