There’s loads of questions about what type of protein to use and why:
– Whey is superior for muscle protein synthesis.
– Whey concentrate (80% protein) – this is the simplest form and that is the concentrated form and the way it naturally exists in dairy products.
– Whey isolate (90% protein) – you process the whey concentrate a little bit more to separate out the carbohydrates and the fat – and also to remove some of the lactose.
The difference between isolate and concentrate : you get more protein for less calories by removing some of the fat, carbohydrates and lactose (which for many people is an irritant).
– Concentrate may taste a little better (due to having more fat and carbs in it) creamy taste.
– Whey hydrolysate (99% protein) – this removes everything but the protein, more expensive and tastes gross.
FYI: The clear liquid on top of your yogurt is the whey.
FYI: Casein in the white milk covered protein that is inside the dairy itself.
Dairy sources that are grass fed can change the profile and quality of it.
1. Environmental impact
2. Chemicals and hormones in animals that are not grass fed can be of concern with heavy metals and BPA’s etc.
Make sure the product you purchase has more protein content than carbohydrate content. People can get side tracked by marketing like protein for men versus women. Just make sure it has a high protein value without all the GMO flavours.
