What is protein milk?

Protein milk has a higher protein content than regular milk. This content can vary, but generally consists of the addition of 50 % extra whey and casein protein. A 200 ml serving of regular cows milk contains approximately 7 g protein, a 200 ml serving of protein milk contains approximately 10.2 g protein.

Milk protein is a ‘complete’ protein because it contains all of the essential amino acids our bodies require. Protein milk is a popular product amongst sports people, mainly because protein is an important post-exercise nutrient that plays a role in muscle growth and maintenance.
