Basic Whey Isolate

Whey protein isolate is a highly refined form of whey protein that contains a very high percentage of protein with minimal fat and lactose. It is made by further filtering whey protein concentrate to remove most of the carbohydrates, fats, and lactose, resulting in a cleaner, more concentrated protein source.

Whey protein isolate typically contains 90% or more protein per serving, making it ideal for people who want maximum protein with fewer calories. People use whey protein isolate to support lean muscle building, weight management, workout recovery, and overall health.

Whey protein isolate undergoes microfiltration processes that removes most of the lactose, but not all. Because most of the lactose is removed, it is also easier to digest and suitable for many people who are lactose sensitive.

Whey protein isolate is typically consumed post-workout to aid in recovery, but it can be consumed at any time during the day to achieve protein intake goals.

The main difference between whey protein concentrates and whey protein isolate is in their macronutrient content. Through the cross-flow microfiltration processing methods, isolates yield a higher protein content per scoop while having a lower amount of fat, carbohydrates and lactose. Whey protein concentrate tends to have more carbohydrates, fats and lactose per scoop. Both are great choices depending on your goals!
