Whey protein concentrate and isolate: What's the Difference?

Hi everyone, Paul from UltimateFatBurner's Smart about Supplements here, and in today's video I'll be talking about whey protein concentrate and isolate, and specifically, what are the
differences between the two. I'll be right back in just a few seconds, stick around, please don't go anywhere.

Alright welcome back.

So as you're probably aware whey protein is the king of the hill when it comes to protein powders and it outsells every other type of protein powder by signifcant margin. And within the
category itself there are a number of different versions of whey, mostly based upon how the product is filered and purified.

So we have whey protein concentrates and isolates, we have hydrosylates and ion-exchange whey proteins and so on.

In this video, I'm going to focus on comparing whey protein concentrate and isolate because they are the two most common and most readily available whey proteins.

With getting into a long winded discussion on the various filtering and purification processes which really don't matter that much to us, there are really 3 main differences...

1) Protein content

Whey protein isolates contains more protein than concentrates. An isolate may contain 90-93% protein by volume, where a concentrate may contain 80% protein or slightly less.

2) Carbs, fats, lactose amd cholesterol

Whey protein Isolates contain a minimum amount of these 4 things while concentrates contain more. It's important to keep this in perspective though - neither contains a lot.

For example, a typical serving of a high quality whey protein isolate contains about a gram of carbs, less than a gram of fat, a gram of lactose and roughly 5 mg of cholesterol.

On the other hand, A serving of your average whey protein concentrate usually contains a few grams of fat, 3-4 grams of carbs, 3-4 grams of lactose and 75 mg of cholesterol per
serving.

3) Cost

Isolates are more expensive than concentrates.

Now if you're watching this video, I bet you're wondering whether spending the extra money on an isolate is justified and whether taking an isolate is going to give you greater results
in the gym, with your training and so forth.

The answer is no. I have not seen any evidence to suggest this is the case.

If you're seeing a retailer suggesting that you will, this is advertising.

So why would you take an isolate if they're more expensive?

Well, Isolates are great if you're lactose intolerant or you're really watching your carb and fat intake.

And, if you're less interested in taking a whey protein for training purposes and more about the health benefits of the supplement, an isolate is a better choice since because there is a
greater likelihood all its bioactive components - like beta–lactoglobulin, immunoglobulin, and lactoferrin are undamged in a sub optimal purifcation process.

Most studies that have looked into the various health benefits of whey protein for instance, have been performed with an isolate.

Otherwise, you're fine to stick with a whey protein concentrate, and use your extra money for something else.

Alright everyone, there you have it - the differences between whey protein concentrate and isolate.
