I been reading a lot of threads on this site about protein powders. People are always asking about what is the best protein powder on the market today. I was just wondering how come no ever breaks down the types of protein (whey concentrate, whey isolate, and whey hydrolysate). I have been doing some research and I know that the best protein powder would made by isolation. I know it's cost a little more but you don't get all the garbage that is added to those cheap ones. I just wondering how come no one ever talks about this stuff and have the readers do their own research to find what work for them.

I can answer a little bit of this. Whey concentrate (WC) vs Whey isolate (WI). Both wheys take about 40 mins to absorb. WI is (IMO) for people who are lactose intolerant and supposed to be ~90% pure. WC is far cheaper an ~80% pure, but you can get far more whey by buying WC if you are not lactose intolertant. Muscle Milk is yummy, but it tested at 30% protein by total volume and through trickery claims 32%, but it doesnt say that is plain english, lets look at the label shall we :
What's In It?

2 scoops is 64% protein, that means that 1 scoop is 32% or 16g.

From highest quality to lowest: Hydro, Isolate, Concentrate. Hydro digesting the fastest, and being the purest. And the most expensive, obviously. Not worth it IMHO.

Hydro also tastes horrid IMO. :)
