Eugene Schiff developed whey protein powder in 1936, turning cheesemaking waste into a valuable supplement for athletes. Whey, casein, pea, and soybean powders are popular, but whey stands out due to its high leucine content—about 12% of its mass. Leucine, an essential amino acid, activates mTOR, a pathway that promotes muscle protein synthesis after exercise, aiding muscle repair and growth.
