Whey Protein Isolate is one of the greatest ways to supplement your nutrition today. Unlike regular protein powders, whey isolate contains more protein by weight than anything else and is considered one of the best new forms of superfood that is out there on the market today.

The reason for it's growing success is really the fact that whey protein isolate is a new scientific break through gaining tremendous recognition and notoriety in the natural healthy industry. But what is it exactly? Whey is a byproduct of the processing of raw natural milk.

Because of this it is all natural, and the whey protein isolate we personally recommend are all organic and the healthiest most pure form of whey protein out there. Now some of you might be asking the question, "What is the difference between an isolate and a concentrate?"

Well put it this way. Concentrates are like eating the whole apple while the isolates are like drinking the apple juice. You do lose some of the nutrients in this process, but your body is still gaining great amino acids, and enzymes that it's lacking from your day to day dieting.

But there is an upside to using isolates over concentrates that I do recommend.

For those of you who are lactose intolerant, isolates contain only 1% lactose while concentrates contain 5-6%. Really both are such incredibly small percentages that unless you had an extremely super delicate case of lactose intolerance, your body won't even be susceptible at all to this. This is why whey itself is incredibly beneficial. Additionally, whey protein isolate has a higher BV, or biological value, because it contains more protein with less lactose. Whey isolate contains 90-98% protein while concentrates contain anywhere from 70-85% protein.

But to be completely honest, both isolates as well as concentrates help in such tremendous ways that I recommend this for anybody to take. Not only does it reduce body fat, reduce food cravings, but it increases your immune system, reduces aging signs, lowers cholesterol levels and also helps fight the risk of getting cancer.

So what do I personally use?

Personally, I use both. Whey Protein Isolate is the purest form of whey you can get. But occasionally I'll switch to concentrate because if you are eating grass fed whey you want all the benefits that are inherently in that. Also, both contain Glutathione which is the body's master antioxidant, yet it is only produced by raw meat, raw eggs, and raw milk, so our bodies are struggling to get enough. But the upside, like I mentioned before is whey protein isolate and concentrate come from raw milk and are produced naturally enough that it loads our body with this antioxidant and helps fight diseases.

To be honest, there are certain whey proteins I tend to shy away from because of the way they are manufactured. They can lose some important enzymes and vitamins that your body needs during over-processing.
