Whey protein concentrate vs isolate

[Musclebound0]

I notice alote of the cheaper whey protein powders contain whey protein concentrate as opposed to isolates. Am I better off spending the extra cash on a high quality powder with pure isolates or are the concentrated powders just as good?

any info guys?

In my opinion, the quality is equal. The only difference I'm aware is most WPC's sold have slighty more carbs and slighty more fat, but i doubt choosing WPC over WPI will make a noticable difference in your physique. Alot of the claims companies that sell WPI make are overstated. I think if u have a set amount of money that your gonna spend and you must spend it and cant save it... then i would still get WPC,but maybe try a product like FUZU or something else with the money that i saved from not buying WPI. The only reason i can think of to buy WPI is if your on a ketongenic diet,but your suppose to eat higher fat on those anyway and most i dont think use whey on it,or if they do very little so maybe a pound or so if u were to do that,but i dont know if whey would be the protein of choice if on that diet either, but not sure about that.. mentioning just incase.

Concentrates make you fart and get you bloated with Gas ... Isolates don't ... at least that's from my experience ...

I only drink isolates ... Isopure

I'm not sure about quality ... all I know is that the ion-exchange process allows isolates to preserve their nutritional value ... much better than cross-filtrated concentrates .... ion-exchange does not use heat and so they preserve nutritional value (it's like if you cook your food using too much heat ... it's nutritional value is gone).

just my 2 cents.

read up on the differences in absorption time etc. they use many different proteins to absorb at different times. some of their formulas are for post workout (ie fast abs.) and some are before bed (longer abs.) you can see how they formulate it.
