Does anybody know where if whey protein powder is a supermarket item or do I have to go to a specialty store, like a Whole Foods?
Thanks!

__________________________________________________Walmart has it but but you also need a source of active polyunsaturated oil ( Omega-3 )

Do you mean, in order to use it? I have a recipe that mentions whey powder but nothing about polyunsaturated oil![]()
_____________________________________I get mine at Target but many of the health nutrition stores have it also. Target seemed to have the best price.

I haven’t heard about any need to take omega-3 with whey. I do take fish oil pills myself and encourage everyone to get the omega-3 they need, but I haven’t heard about any need to have omega-3 to get the benefits of whey. I have heard of studies that fish is a better way to get omega-3 than fish oil pills. I’m not sure how true that is, but I have read it in multiple places. In any case, I think it’s sort of impractical to eat fish every day, not to mention mercury concerns. As I understand it, gentle cooking shouldn’t destroy the omega-3 in fish but omega-3 does degrade with heat and the more it is cooked the more omega-3 is lost.

Thanks, Murf, I actually have a Target run on my list of things to do today!
I make my shakes as part of or my meal. If you are watching calories then the shake is maybe cheaper than your normal meal. A shake with a banana or other fruit is a complete meal.__________________________________
I've given up on the whey for now - way too expensive. If I bought a can, I'd have to move into it.
