Whey protein improves immune function. I was part of a study team that found that whey protein increases CD4 cells (the main cells of the immune system) in people with HIV. This placebo controlled study also found that it did not increase lean body mass since people ate less when taking the supplement. Of course, exercise was not provided in this study.
