Protein Isolates vs Concentrates

I will be discussing this with the nutritionist this week but I would like to see what everyone here has to say. In my paperwork I was given on my original visit I read that regarding Protein powders/shakes they recommend protein "isolate" being the first ingredient. Then they gave a list of brands they recommend with Premier Protein being one of them. However when I look up the nutritional info it says "milk protein concentrate" not "isolate"...from what I've read online, isolate has the highest % of protein over concentrate. What have you all been told???

I just read about that too and saw that Premier Protein is the concentrate form not the isolate. The isolate has better amino acids which are the building blocks of Protein. I do not remember the science difference between the two but it’s significant. I have 2 Premier shakes left and I’m switching forevermore and AMEN!!

BTW-the nutritionist I see was ok with Premier but I think I’ll bring it up now that I know about it.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
