In this informative video, PictureFit breaks down the key differences between whey concentrate and whey isolate protein supplements. Whey concentrate is made by concentrating the milk proteins in whey, resulting in a protein content of around 80%. It contains some milk sugars, fats, and flavorings, including lactose. On the other hand, whey isolate undergoes additional processes that isolate the milk proteins even further, yielding a protein content of 90% or greater. It removes virtually all the fat and most, if not all, of the lactose. Both whey concentrate and whey isolate have similar amino acid profiles, high absorption rates, and beneficial immunoglobulins and lactoferrins. There is no clear superiority in terms of exercise recovery or muscle growth between the two. While whey concentrate may potentially have a greater benefit for fat loss, this finding should be taken with caution due to biased research. Overall, whey concentrate is a more cost-effective option for most people, unless lactose intolerance or precise protein measurement is a concern. #WheyProtein #WheyConcentrate #WheyIsolate #ProteinSupplements #FitnessAdvice
