Did you know that 80% of gym-goers are consuming the wrong type of protein for muscle repair and recovery?

Did you know that 80% of gym-goers are consuming the wrong type of protein for muscle repair and recovery?

Forget what you've heard about whey protein concentrate. Here's the deal: it's only 80% protein. The rest? Lactose and fat. Now, I'm not saying it's bad. But why settle for less when you can have more?

Consider this - isolates are processed to remove all non-protein components. That means they're purer, more digestible, and less likely to cause digestive issues. And let's face it, no one wants an upset stomach after a tough workout.

It's true! Most are reaching for whey concentrate instead of isolate protein. But why does this matter?

Isolate protein is the pure form, with 90% protein content. It's low on carbohydrates and fats. But whey protein, although slightly less pure, is a complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids. It's the popular choice, but is it the right choice for you?

Let's delve deeper, shall we?

1. Isolate Protein - Less fat, less carbohydrate, more pure protein.

2. Whey Protein - Complete protein, affordable, easily available.

3. Isolate Protein - Ideal for lactose-intolerant individuals.

4. Whey Protein - High in lactose, can cause digestive issues.

5. Isolate Protein - More expensive, due to the complex filtration process.

6. Whey Protein - More affordable, but less pure protein gram for gram.

7. Isolate Protein - Ideal for lean muscle gain.

So, where do you stand in the Isolate vs. Whey debate?

So I turned to vegan protein powder because the whey bothered my stomach. Is there a non-vegan isolate option? Or are you referring to things like pea, soy, brown rice protein when you say 'isolate'? What are the best vegan options for people who lift?
