Health claim
“Adding 30 g of whey protein post‑workout accelerated muscle gain by 20 % compared with a carbohydrate‑only shake.”
Claim checked — mixed / earlyHigh risksupplements
Evidence Summary
Some evidence supports this, but findings are inconsistent or limited in scope.
Research shows whey protein after resistance training can modestly enhance muscle protein synthesis compared with carbohydrate alone, but the magnitude of gain is typically small and variable, making a specific 20% acceleration unsupported.
