If you’re confused looking for the perfect protein powder for you, don’t worry, you’re not alone! We’re here to break it down for you and leave you feeling confident about your protein powder choice! So let’s get into it…
What is the difference between Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) and Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC)?
Whey is originally derived from cow’s milk and is an exceptionally high-quality source of protein. The ultimate difference between WPI and WPC is the degree of filtration and processing it undergoes! Whey Protein Isolate undergoes a much greater filtration process than that of Whey Protein Concentrate. WPI is sifted through super-duper small filters, much smaller than those used to filter Whey Protein Concentrate. So, what does this mean?
As a result, Whey Protein Concentrate contains…
- 80% protein per weight
- 5-7% Milk Fat
- Moderate amount of lactose
- 5-10 calories more than WPI
Whereas Whey Protein Isolate contains…
- 90% protein per weight
- 1-2% Milk Fat
- Pretty much zero lactose!
- 5-10 calories less than WPC
However, due to the extensive filtering used to formulate WPI, it does have a higher price point by a few dollars.
So which protein powder is for me?
We recommend Whey Protein Concentrate Blends if you…
- Have no issue digesting lactose
- Would like to save a couple of dollars
- Don’t mint the extra calories coming from carbs and fats!
We recommend Whey Protein Isolate if you…
- Struggle to digest lactose
- Need to save calories and are on a low-calorie diet!
- Don’t mind sparing a few extra dollars on the high quality WPI
