Hey guys, I have a freind at work thats going through Kemo sessions right now and her cardioligist suggested that they get a muscle protein.
Of course she came to me for advice on where to get it, But i told her that the only thing that i thought her doc coulda been talking about was whey protein.
Am i right??
-
Yes. She obviously didn't know they are called protein powders.

Yes, it's whey protein she's talking about. It's been shown to be of significant benefit to cancer patients because when they're undergoing radiation or chemo they usually have a hard time getting enough nutrition / protein due to nausea and lack of appetite. Obviously, it's easy to digest too. Cancer patients also have severely compromised immune systems and the whey protein has the needed amino acids to help improve that. Addtionally, whey protein has been shown (animal and in vitro studies) to inhibit the growth of several types of cancerous tumors.
