Just curious why everyone uses whey, that is, instead of other products like hemp for example. The only reason I have been able to find is that whey is cheaper, and contains a little more protein(not much though, like 1-2grams per serving, and imo is lower quality). Most or all whey products contain artificial colors, sweeteners/flavors, and preservatives, and if they don't have sweeteners they taste like dry wall I hear. Hemp has a natural nutty flavor with no preservatives or additives, can be organic, and is a whole food with many health benefits.
Not trolling or looking for a debate, just iso your opinions/answers.
mostly cost and availability i think..as well as relative digestion rate/bioavailability...there are various forms of whey that can be higher or lower quality as well
i don't know about the bioavailability of hemp protein though, so i can't really give a reason as to why not
