WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE VS WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE

WHAT IS WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE?


We find that a lot of people do not know the difference between whey protein and
whey protein isolate or whey protein concentrate. Whey protein is a bit of a catchall phrase that some marketers exploit to sell a lower grade product at a higher
price.

You should be informed as to what is right for you as Whey protein is


advertised everywhere you turn these days. Whey protein would be the most
popular kind of supplement available to strength and endurance athletes. Not only
is it easy to buy any where, but its really easy to drink and as it naturally is almost
tasteless and odourless.
But when talking about whey, we often hear of the term Whey Protein Isolate or
WPI for short. What is whey protein isolate and how different is it from the whey
that Little Miss Muffet was snacking on? How does it affect ones body and why do
people love to use it?
We will try to give you some basic answers here without going into great detail.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE AND WHEY PROTEIN
CONCENTRATE?
Whey protein isolate is a protein supplement and food
ingredient that is created when the components of milk
are separated. When people make cheese, a byproduct called whey is produced. When whey is further
processed, you can yield three kinds of whey proteins:
whey concentrate, whey isolate, and whey
hydrolysate.
The difference between each kind of whey protein boils down to the composition of
the individual product. Of the three, whey isolate contains the higher percentage of
protein. Whey protein concentrate is around 80% protein while Whey Isolate sits
at 90% protein.
Whey protein isolate is also pure enough to be lactose free, fat-free, cholesterol
free, and carbohydrate free.
The main reason why whey proteins are popular is because they are bioavailable.
This simply means the body easily and effectively absorbs the protein. The high
concentrations of BCAA or Branched-Chain Amino Acids also helps. BCAA are
important in reducing muscle breakdown. They help promote muscle growth. In
2/12

terms of amino acid composition and digestibility, Whey Protein Isolate sits
comfortably at the top position.
So now that we have a good idea of what whey protein isolates are and how they
are made, lets try to find out how it works.

HOW DOES WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE WORK?


The people who use whey protein isolate, typically are strength or
endurance athletes or regular people wanting to lose some body fat. This is
because these are the people that need to supplement their daily protein intake to
reach a particular macronutrient goal. For dieters, some of them usually stay away
from traditional protein sources like meat. So this means they need an easy
alternative protein source. Cooking mince with spinach leaves for breakfast isnt
for everyone.
For body builders, cross fitters and gym buffs, they need a clean protein source
that goes directly to their muscles typically within 30 minutes of finishing a
workout. When we say clean protein source, this means a source that is low
in fat and other additives.
Whey protein isolate is absorbed faster and more effectively than many other
protein sources available. Thorough protein absorption means overworked or
stressed muscle groups can recover faster.
Your body requires nine essential amino acids for optimum nutrition. You have to
supplement with food to make these nine essential aminos. These aminos are in
whey proteins and help stop the muscle oxidising or eating itself, called
catabolism. This helps the protein synthesise into newly grown muscle.

WHY IS WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE BETTER THAN WHEY CONCENTRATE


We wouldnt go as far as saying that Whey Protein Isolate is better than Whey
Concentrate. They have differences that will make you
choose one over the other. The protein count or
percentage is higher for Whey Protein Isolate than for
Whey Concentrate. WPI is absorbed faster. For people
3/12

who have just finished a hard workout, this makes


isolate better than concentrate.
But if you want a slower release over time to allow for
size gains and growth where the immediate muscle trauma isnt present then whey
protein concentrate or a whey protein isolate & concentrate blend might be
better. People trying to bulk tend to have these late at night.
Aside from the protein content, there are other factors that make isolate more
popular than concentrate. Whey Protein Isolate is more processed than whey
concentrate and the result is a cleaner protein source. Isolate has less fat and
lactose than concentrate. This may not mean much to the regular user but if you
are lactose intolerant, concentrate might be too much. People who are lactose
intolerant find it hard to process lactose in their stomachs, which can result in
bloating and gas. If you start the day having protein within 30 minutes of waking up
then this would ruin your day.
According to some studies, whey concentrate may have some other benefits over
isolate. Due to the further processing of Whey Protein isolate, whey concentrate
may better health-wise. There are lots of studies going on all time and you can
easily do a Google Scholar search to see the latest results.

SO WHAT IS THE VERDICT?


In choosing the right protein supplement for you, you should not just go for the
best but for whats best for you. If you are lactose intolerant then whey isolate is
the definite choice. However, if you want the health benefits of drinking whey
protein for a lower cost and you arent sensitive to lactose, then whey concentrate
or a whey 50/50 blend may be a better choice.

I have just finished 3 months on the Shredded protein at two serves a day, I
brought a 5kg bag, and have to say I have been impressed with this
product, taste was great, mixes great and a great profile which you can
really feel working! my metabolism has definitely been firing. At first I was
sceptical due the price compared to some of the big brands, but I believe I
have had better results on this protein than any other fat Burning protein I
have tried! I feel and look leaner and I am very happy with the results thus
far. I have just committed to buying a second 5kg bag and look forward to
even greater results!
Highly recommended!

I love your quick service and your pea protein is awesome. I tried so many
others on the market and they either tasted like dirt or were really
expensive. Your pea protein is well priced and tastes great. It also has no
nasty ingredients. I have been using your pea protein as I am unable to
have the whey and have a lot of allergies. Your pea protein is lactose and
gluten free and works well. Here is my before and after pics from a 12 week
challenge I have been on. I have used the fit bits pea protein as part of my
nutrition plan. I just wanted to let you know how great your product is.
THANKS
