Whey isolate vs concentrate

[rgjujitsu]

The protien powder I just bought is gold standard 100% whey, the main ingredients are protein blend(isolate and concentrate and peptides) cocoa 24g protein per serving 3g carbs 1g fat 120 calories. 10lbs for 52 bucks did I get screwed or a good deal or middle? Mostly for morning/evening protein. Thanks.

With blends you never really know the percentages. If you're lactose intolerant you'll figure it out really quick. Also, many concentrates are acid processed which denatures the protein. IMO, you're better off ordering from proteinfactory or trueprotein.

Thanks bro, will do that next time. Is it even worth taking? K to you by the way.

its not to bad that gold 100% ON whey wil stil get the job done

a pure protein isolate is better

in terms of pricing its cheap to me i live in australia 240 bucks for 20lb and thats maybe one of the cheapest isolates that i can buy

Sure, it still has an excellent amino acid profile even if acid processing destroyed the micro fractions in the whey. I suggest taking whey around your workouts and using milk isolate as your "general purpose" protein I have numerous posts with my reasoning.

He knows what he's talking about...
I agree with the whey around the time of your workout. If you're going to do whey then I would use a non milk form of protein or real food at other times as much as possible because variety is needed. I would not do whey over and over every day like some job monoteny. maybe milk protien isolate (no lactose) before bed but straight casein from protein faqctory or whereever will work
