Health claim
“Whey protein is absorbed faster than casein, making it better for post‑workout muscle protein synthesis.”
Claim checked — mixed / earlyHigh risksupplements
Evidence Summary
Some evidence supports this, but findings are inconsistent or limited in scope.
Research confirms whey protein is digested and absorbed more rapidly than casein, leading to a quicker rise in muscle protein synthesis after exercise, but overall long‑term muscle gains are similar, so the superiority claim is not definitively supported.
