What is the difference between whey protein vs whey isolate?
- Whey protein can range from 35% to 98% protein. Meaning for every 100 grams of whey powder, 35 to 98 grams will be actual protein. Nothing is 100% protein.
- Whey protein CONCENTRATE is 80% protein or higher.
- Whey protein ISOLATE is 90% protein or higher.
- Whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate are both whey protein. The difference is the last word…concentrate or isolate.
- Whey protein concentrates will have lactose and carbs, which may cause gas and bloating.
- Whey protein isolates will have no lactose or very little lactose and will not typically cause gas or bloating.
- Whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate, digest at the same speed. (don’t be fooled by so-called protein experts saying whey isolate is digested faster, its not)
- Whey Protein concentrate and whey isolate will have the same amino acid profile. However, since a whey isolate is typically 10% higher in protein, it will be 10% higher in amino acids.
- Whey protein concentrate does NOT have more protein subfractions than a whey isolate. This is a lie told by companies selling whey concentrate. Why? Whey Concentrate costs half as much as a whey isolate, thus bigger profit margin.
- Do not buy whey concentrate and whey isolate blends. Another marketing scam.
- Whey isolate and concentrate have the same biological value.

The supplement industry and our customers are finally starting to realize that there is no point in using a whey protein with soy lecithin. Who the heck wants more soy in their diet? We were the first company to blow the whistle on soy lecithin in whey protein and now we are the first to offer 5lbs of soy lecithin free whey isolate at an awesome price. Don’t let the massive companies control what you put into your body just because they want bigger profits by using soy lecithin (cheap cost) instead of sunflower lecithin (expensive).
- Your advantage when taking Whey Isolate w/o soy:
- If you’re a man you don’t want soy at all.
- Soy might raise cortisol, which could lead to weight gain or a bloated, puffier of look.
- If you’re a woman you REALLY shouldn’t be having soy lecithin. The first thing doctors tell their patients with breast cancer is, “AVOID SOY”. So tell your girlfriends that are drinking whey protein to read the back of the label and if it has soy lecithin, STOP using it!!
