For this purpose, a comprehensive search was performed across the following databases to retrieve all relevant studies (n = 21; Kappa = 0.758): Scopus®, EBSCOhost, and PubMed®. The studies included, which involved both athletic and non-athletic participants, argue that the intake of whey protein and carbohydrates has a positive impact on the average blood glucose and insulin response, while others have found no significant effects. When projecting the research toward the health benefits of whey protein and fibre consumption, the divergence decreased. Researchers demonstrate that the whey-protein-with-fibre combination intake improves glycemic control more effectively than consuming whey protein or carbohydrate alone. One potential approach is the balance by incorporating fibre, which may help mitigate adverse effects, contributing to reducing hepatic toxicity, caused by whey protein intake, due to dietary fibre’s ability to promote partial nutrient absorption. These findings support the use of whey protein and fibre combination as an efficient dietary approach to improved functional food formulations designed for specific health outcomes such as supporting chronic disease prevention and health-promoting diets worldwide. Nevertheless, there are a few limitations in the research, such as the heterogeneity of population characteristics, participants’ diet, and lifestyle. application/pdf eng MDPI Applied Sciences. 2025, V. 15, n. 23, p. 12645-12668 https://doi.org/10.3390/app152312645 Atribución 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Whey protein Carbohydrate Fibre Health Outcomes Nutritional supplementation Proteínas Nutrición Alimentos funcionales Proteins Nutrition Functional foods Effects of Whey Protein, Carbohydrate, and Fibre Combination on Health Indicators: A Systematic Review info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Applied Sciences 15 23 12645 12668 THUMBNAIL Pratto-applied_sciences_2025.pdf.jpg Pratto-applied_sciences_2025.pdf.jpg IM Thumbnail image/jpeg 4642 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/11154/5/Pratto-applied_sciences_2025.pdf.jpg 65277dfb159893938005bdfe846160b8 MD5 5 Pratto-applied_sciences__2025-Suplementary.pdf.jpg Pratto-applied_sciences__2025-Suplementary.pdf.jpg IM Thumbnail image/jpeg 4098 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/11154/6/Pratto-applied_sciences__2025-Suplementary.pdf.jpg 5f55ed44fbaadfbc0df94180355c1f1b MD5 6 LICENSE license.txt license.txt text/plain; charset=utf-8 999 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/11154/4/license.txt b295bcbce42e2caabeb0c623d3860c06 MD5 4 CC-LICENSE license_rdf license_rdf application/rdf+xml; charset=utf-8 908 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/11154/3/license_rdf 0175ea4a2d4caec4bbcc37e300941108 MD5 3 ORIGINAL Pratto-applied_sciences_2025.pdf Pratto-applied_sciences_2025.pdf application/pdf 882664 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/11154/1/Pratto-applied_sciences_2025.pdf f89fa85ecf78966c33e8f1aa080de88e MD5 1 Pratto-applied_sciences__2025-Suplementary.pdf Pratto-applied_sciences__2025-Suplementary.pdf Supplementary material application/pdf 270464 https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/11154/2/Pratto-applied_sciences__2025-Suplementary.pdf a230b1659cfb61f3297bd1ee1871f7b6 MD5 2 10259/11154 oai:riubu.ubu.es:10259/11154 2025-12-18 02:05:32.402 Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Burgos bubrep@ubu.es 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
