Thread: To isolate or not to isolate....

Isolate is a good protein source but will it make THAT much of a difference? IMO, not really. All I take is the whey from NTBM and nothing has been put to a hault. Plus the flavor (ICECREAM BAR) is nuts

Would it be beneficial for me to use an isolate or is there any difference? I know most whey's are moving to no sugar or alternatives (stevia please). Anyone have thoughts or recommendations for killer isolates.

there is quite a bit of difference and if you're going spend money on whey you might as go with Isolate, here is a basic decription of each:

WHEY CONCENTRATE - A cheap whey protein with relatively high levels of lactose, fat, cholesterol, and denatured (non-functional) proteins.

WHEY ISOLATE - A more pure whey protein with lower levels of lactose, fat, cholesterol or denatured proteins.

Whey Protein Isolate - 100% Pure
