Whey Protein Increases Tendon Growth
We all know whey protein is the GOAT for muscle growth, but most don't know it can help increase tendon strength as well.
A twelve week study using strength training resulted in a 10% increase in tendon hypertrophy in the placebo control group (resistance training, no whey) and a 15% increase in hypertrophy in the group that performed the resistance exercise training and also supplemented their training with 19.5 g of whey protein.
As people train harder for longer periods of time, supplementing with whey protein may be critical to help not only your muscles grow but tendons as well - ultimately preventing injuries.
