big diff. between whey con. vs isolate ??

[rjl296]

is there a big difference bewteen whey concentrat and whey isolate. I dont mean a mixed concoction (ala prolab or optimum.) , rather pure concentrate and isolate

would it actually be worth aprox. double the money ??

i know the isolate is of much higher quality but i usually go for a mix with mostly concentrate, the only difference i notice is the concentrate gives me bigger farts.

whats up with that fly-ass chick?

hey , that doesnt help me any, does it
i was wondering b/c i have an oppurtunity to order 44lbs conc @ 200
or 44 lbs isolate for 325.(cdn) im a little stumped which way to go

is the only difference the percentage of protein ??

or is there a big amino profile diff. ???

Worry more about getting enough protein in you (i.e. 1-1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight) than what kind of protein.


When it comes to protein, often times quantity is more important than quality.

whey isolate absorb faster and so are preferred post workout.

there will likely be no difference in protein percentage, i would go with the cheap stuff if cash in an issue.

I try to avoid WPC whenever possible. Not very easily absorbed and often feel bloated. I much prefer WPI.

A whey isolate is around 90% protein while a concentrate is 80% protein. The rest being made up of fat,lactose, ash, and vitamins/minerals. If you're lactose intolerant then stay away from the concentrate otherwise it's usuallly more cost effective to go with the concentrate over isolate.
