This product has a huge competitive marketing and many changes occur quickly with it. Back when we did this alot, we used Designer's Whey...but I don't see it on this list at all!

So here is LabDoor's reviews:

If I were buying today, I'd get the NOW brand in the first tier.

But just starting out, it might be best to get a small can (one pound) so there is no waste. WalMart has some small canisters for example compared to health food places.
Amazon has NOW unflavored : smaller can:

If you use milk and cereal often you can mix the whey into the milk, and use it on oatmeal or whatever. Getting unflavored is handy because it allows you leeway in mixing up some interesting health drinks on your own.

The label will tell you how much is in a scoop they provide, so start with one scoop a day and see how you feel. I wouldn't go over 2 scoops a day without some doctor input, and making sure you can handle the protein amounts (kidneys need to be in good shape).


But I would read the labels to see if magnesium oxide is added.
This can cause diarrhea in some people. I've had guys coming to me with this problem in the past, and we traced it to the magOxide added.

I enlarged the label on the NOW whey and I didn't see it.
Keep whey in a cool, dry place. It can go bad and make you sick if you store it wrong or whatever.

You can add ice cream (my son did that), Kefir, various fruits,
and even flax oil... 1 teaspoonful. You won't even know the flax is in there, but it is an Omega-3 which your body can eagerly use. Buy from a vendor who keeps this in the refrigerator and you keep it there too, paying attention to expiration dates.
It is fragile to heat and light and will go rancid quickly.

We have a hand held battery wand type mixer, but a Bullet or other blender works easily. It can be fun if you've never done it before.

Here are helpful hints, on storage, and use of whey powder:
