Whey Isolates

Whey Isolates are being absorbed by the body very quickly, which makes them perfect for body builders, who need protein in their system to rebuild muscle tissue after work outs. One of the main components, water, has already been removed from isolates. They yield a very high percentage (min. 90%) of pure protein and therefore are at a higher price point.

Whey Concentrate is inexpensive and very common in regular protein powders and bars. Some people may digest this form of protein a little harder and could feel a little bloated afterwards.

Whey ConCentrate

The highest quality on the market and therefore also most expensive. Hydrolysates are enzymatically predigested for maximal speed of absorption. It’s very easy to digest and feeds your muscles with nutrients instantly.

Casein Protein serves a very slow digestion, which is benefitial, if you want to stay full for a longer period of time during the day. It’s also great to slowly feed your muscles for several hours while you’re sleeping. Casein protein is very high in glutamine to help your body recover faster and boost your immune system.

Casein Protein

Loaded with Glutamine and BCAAs, Soy is the source of protein for vegetarians. Although not preferred by bodybuilders, it can be used pre and post workout.

Soy Protein

Like soy protein, Milk Protein Isolates are full of amino acids and consist of both casein and whey proteins. Even though it’s not the preferred choice of protein for many people, it’s usually found in blends of multiple types of protein.

Milk Protein isolate

Egg Albumin is the old-school source of protein, that was common when protein powders did not exist yet. Found in egg whites, this protein is rich in amino acids and is used in many protein blends and meal replacement products.

NUTS

Ever wondered why nutty flavors have usually more grams of protein than other flavors? Nuts are an excellent source of protein and healthy fats. Pecans provide 2g of protein per ounce, Hazelnuts and Cashews 4g. Walnuts and Peanuts come with a whopping 7 grams of protein per ounce. Almonds and Pistachios are the runner-ups with 6 grams.
