Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle or get rid of protein deficiency, then whey protein is the right supplement for you to pick. People still have a lot of confusion about what is it and how to make whey protein to get toned muscles. It is also important for you to know how whey protein is made. Well, whey is a byproduct of cheese production. It is the liquid part of milk that left after making cheese. Then the liquid part of milk is dried out and packed in the boxes. It goes through some processes to take the powder form that people use to lose weight. Whey protein proffers many health benefits such as boost fat burn, enhance strength, reduce appetite, provide energy, improve blood sugar, and boost immunity as well as glutathione.  There are few types of whey protein

Types of Whey Protein

  • Whey Protein Concentrate
  • Whey Protein Isolate
  • Whey Protein Hydrolysate

Whey Protein Concentrate

Whey protein concentrate has a low level of carbohydrates (lactose) and fat.  It is packed with amino acid and contains 75% of pure protein and the rest 25% is carbohydrates and fats. It has good taste and also budget-friendly. The concentrate protein is affordable as compared to other proteins.

Whey Protein Isolate

Whey protein isolate is the purest form of whey protein. It goes through a process to remove impurities. Isolate has 95% pure protein as the lactose, water, and cholesterol is removed while processing. It is quick to digest as compared to the whey protein concentrate. Isolate contains less to no lactose and best for the people who can’t tolerate lactose. It is expensive as compared to the whey concentrate.

Whey Protein Hydrolysate

It is called a predigested protein as it absorbed faster as compared to other proteins. Whey protein hydrolysate has undergone a hydrolysis process that makes your body absorb the protein. It doesn’t reduce whey protein’s nutritional qualities. Whey protein hydrolysate has 80 – 90% protein.  It is an expensive type of whey protein.
