Boost Your Immune System with Whey Protein

As we start Week 2 of our 21-day lockdown, our health is our utmost priority. As a disease, COVID-19 heavily impacts the respiratory system, which means we need to strengthen our immune system.

Our immune system is made up of a combination of specialized antibodies, cells, and proteins, that work together to ward off germs and invaders in our bodies. According to Agropur, a dairy-industry leader, whey proteins contain a combination of individual proteins like Lactoferrin and immunoglobins, which are able to enhance immunity through bioactivity. Similarly, they’re also a great source of essential amino acids, which are crucial to the body’s recovery and functions.

Simply put, whey protein helps your immune system get stronger, so your body is better equipped to fight off the ill-effects of infections.
