Q: what amount does whey protein help build muscle mass?

Well you need 50gms-: -per dark as your requirement, &amp; having more protein available to your muscles during &amp; right after a workout ,you are sure you have enough for muscle recovery. Also more is not better. 30-40gms is more than adequate. Do not supplement on your days off, only workout days.
