00:02What if I told you that the whey protein that you drink today was nothing but waste before?
00:08That's right, whey protein, the powerhouse of nutrition was actually discovered by accident.
00:15So let's dive deep into the unbelievable Tastan e Weh.
00:20Thousands of years ago, in a small town called Kujawi, Poland,
00:25farmers making cheese from goat's milk noticed something interesting
00:29When milk was treated with acid, it separated into solids and liquids.
00:34The solids became cheese and the liquid, that was whey.
00:37At first they didn't know what to do with it, so they used it as a starter for the next batch of cheese.
00:43Little did they know that they had stumbled upon one of the most powerful protein sources in history.
00:50Fast forward to 460 BC, ancient Greece, a man named Hippocrates,
00:54often called the father of medicine, began prescribing whey to patients.
00:58He called it serum and believed it boosted immunity and improved health.
01:02His idea spread to ancient Rome, where another famous doctor, Gallen, also used whey as a healing tonic.
01:08The Romans adopted whey as a regular part of their diet, believing it enhanced strength and vitality.
01:14By the 16th century, whey had become trendy in Europe.
01:18Swiss villages used it as a natural remedy and in England, it became a fashionable drink among aristocrats.
01:26Special whey baths, like modern cafes, served up fresh whey daily.
01:31Some people even bathed in it, believing it had healing properties.
01:36Then, in the 19th century, Germany took way to the next level.
01:40Scientists developed Plasmon, an early form of protein powder designed for hospital patients.
01:48It was tasteless, grainy and not exactly delicious, but it was a breakthrough.
01:54In 1890, strongman Eugene Sandow promoted Plasmon, claiming it was better than meat for strength and endurance.
02:02By the 1950s, bodybuilding exploded in popularity and protein powder followed suit.
02:09Athletes and fitness enthusiasts began to recognize the benefits of whey.
02:13Company started refining whey, making it tastier and more digestible.
02:18The real breakthrough came in the 1990s and early 2000s.
02:22With better science and technology, protein powders became smoother, delicious and widely available.
02:28From chalky, unflavored formulas to today's gourmet shakes, bars and even protein ice cream.
02:34Whey has come a long way.
02:36Today, protein powder isn't just for athletes, it's for everyone.
02:40The industry continues to innovate, creating new forms like hydrolyzed whey, plant-based alternatives and even sustainable protein sources.
02:49From an accidental cheese by-product to a global fitness essential,
02:53whey protein has shaped the way we think about nutrition.
