Someone is bound to know the answer to this one.

all the Protein powders my nut recommends are whey protein isolate.

We were looking at the different brands and types today,, and the carbs, sugars and protein contents were close.

what are the differences between whey protein isolate,whey protein concentrate and soy protein...other than the obvious soy-milk base.

how will they affect the bariatric patient.

i am 6 weeks out and have no problem with milk or soy.

thanks

REALLY???

Isolate

Whey Protein isolate is a very pure form of whey protein, containing less than 1 percent lactose. Isolate contains anywhere from 90 to 98 percent protein in each scoop. Because isolate is highly filtered, it loses some of the immunity-boosting properties. The high filtering process also increases isolate's price tag.

Concentrate

Most whey supplements contain whey protein concentrate because it is easier and cheaper to produce. Concentrate retains more lactose per serving--about 4 percent at the very most--and more of the immunity enhancing effects of whey. The actual protein per serving can be considerably less than in isolate--ranging from 29 to 89 percent per serving.

Thanks for the clarification!

just what i was looking for

It is my understanding that the whey Isolate is also much easier to digest, it digest quicker, and has a much higher protein content than reg whey protein power. If I has heard this from just one source I may not believe it, but I have talked to multiple vitamin store employees, and also did some reading online to confirm it was worth the extra money. I personally like the Sci fit Whey Isolate protein powders, it comes in lots of flavors, the chocolate peanut butter flavor is awesome! The Ice cream banana rocks, specially when mixed with the Choc peanut butter, and cookies and cream is pretty good too.

Just an opinion...

I prefer Syntrax nectar

90 calories per scoop

23 gms of Protein per scoop

no fat or carbs

I use roadside lemonade and fuzzy navel...

I recommend getting samples because not all flavors are created equal....

Good luck protein shopping sucks!
