⭐️ A brief comparison of the different types of whey protein. 🐄 💪There are 3 main types of whey protein available in the market: Whey Concentrate, Whey Isolate and Whey Hydrolysate. Let’s break down the differences! 🥛Whey Concentrate is the most common form of whey protein available. It is the cheapest and has roughly 60 to 75% protein content. This also means that whey concentrate typically contains more fat and sugars than its counterparts. But how much more? 🥛Whey Isolate is a purified form of whey, consisting of 90% protein. It’s fat content is roughly half the amount in whey concentrate, but it’s significantly more expensive! (usually 1.3 to 1.6 times more) 🥛Whey Hydrolysate is the most interesting out of the 3. The whey gets ‘pre-digested’ into smaller pieces before it enters our bodies! (which also means that it is more costly than concentrate.) This aims to help us digest the protein better for more complete absorption. However, there’s yet to be any conclusive evidence to suggest that the claims of whey hydrolysate are true. Other than that, the protein and fat content of whey hydrolysate are similar to that in whey concentrate. So, which will you go for if you had to pick? 🤔 #whey #wheyprotein #protein #proteinpowder #proteinshake #proteinpacked picture credits: https://lnkd.in/gDPQj_8e
