Is there a scientific study that proves the benefits of whey protein?

Im talking about specifically skeletal muscle. REPS for a link. I searched on PUBMED and did not find anything.

Protein is the building blocks of muscle. You don't need a study on it, it's simple nutrition.

I want to be able to show someone a study. I understand the basics of protein but I would like an example of an Empirical study about Whey protein.

The supplement industry lacks GOOD research


i would define good research as:
- in Humans
- skeletal muscle
- vs placebo
- N>100
- not sponsored by a company


i think you need to form your own opinion based on your own knowledge and realistic expectations.

go to the supplement science sub-section for the articles.

you can also reference pubmed, which is where many of those articles are referenced.

Why would someone pay the money to conduct a study to prove something we already know? It's like spending a billion dollars to prove gravity will make something fall to the floor if you drop it.
