hi i will be 18 in 2 more months.
i have been working out for few months now so im very new at this.
i want to take some protein powder so i can see my result faster and better.
i have never taken protein supplements in my life, just getting enough protein from food thats about it.
i talked to one of my friends about protein powder and he said to get "isolated protein" or "concentrated protein" but i was looking through the forum and everyone was saying to get "whey protein".
so now im very confused about what kind of protein powder i should get.
plz give me a good brand name and also what kind of protein it is so that i can find it myself later in the future (extra info about different kinds of protein would be very nice) oh and im not planning to take any kind of pill or those drugs.. just protein that helps me with work out.
thank you very much.

okay i think this might help you out. when people refer to whey protein it means the actual type of protein. Whey is a fast digesting protein that should be used both preworkout (about 20grams) and post workout (40 grams). this digests more readily, than say a casein protein. casein protein digests over a period of hours, and you should take it before bedtime. it prevents catabolism (basically prevents your body from going without food for 8hours. because you would not do that during the day.)

The terms you refer to regarding "isolate" and "concentrate," have to do with the percentage of protein in the powder. Concentrate is a higher grade, and has a higher percentage of protein. Isolate is cheaper and has less of a percentage. If you are still confused you can take a look at this link, that i got from the front page of the forum!

Whey Protein - Choosing the right protein

oh and the best bang for your buck and BEST protein out there in terms of Whey is Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein. If your looking for a protein to take before bed try a type of casein like i mentioned above. Optimum Nutrition(ON) makes this as well!

good luck bro!

He got little typo something here, Isolate is the faster digestiong fo the 2, and more expensive. concentrate is lower quality and can make you have gas and doesn't have as much bv then its brother. I'd go with isolate. since concentrate is a little bit more better then eggs in bv rating might as well by the better on for the money other wise just use egg whites, its the best for the buck. ON 100% Whey Gold Standard is probably the best, but i make my own proteind at about 3-5 dollars per 5 lb tub so i'm good.

i said whey was fast digesting and that is true. isolate and concentrate refer to the percentages and quality of the protein in the actual powder. and that is a correct statement.

if you think im wrong perhaps you can take it up with the webmaster, because that is where i got the info for this post. check it out

read more carefully and educate yourself next time.

yea i read the article and found out that isolate has more % of protein, more expensive and faster digesting than concentrate.
thank you for clarifying it IronWarrior-07

i highly reccomend ON 100% whey...ive been taking it for almost 2 years now...make sure u get the double rich chocolate...cause thats the only one that tastes pretty damn good IMO...ON is probably one of the smoothest lightest protein shakes out there..atleast in my opinoin...

That stuff tastes like shit, no offence. But I bought it one time when i had no other choice and I used it the one night then never touched it again.
