And no wonder. It is a great source of protein that has an excellent spectrum of amino acids. What&#8217;s more, it&#8217;s also one of the best value for money. When you are ready to reach for whey protein, you may be surprised by the vast selection. Suddenly you see concentrate, isolate or even hydrolysate on offer. It&#8217;s a challenge, isn&#8217;t it? Just because it says Whey on the label doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s the best protein for you. We&#8217;re going to try to help you make your choice today. We&#8217;ll tell you how these proteins are made, what the differences are between them, and give you advice on which type is best in which situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_exactly_is_whey_protein_and_what_does_it_contain\"><\/span>What exactly is whey protein and what does it contain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/whey-protein\"><strong>Whey protein<\/strong><\/a> can be thought of as a concentrated source of protein that comes from cow&#8217;s milk. Basically, it&#8217;s what&#8217;s left of the milk when you remove all but the whey protein from it. By filtering it, you get rid of the casein protein, water and some of the fat, as well as the lactose. The different types of protein then differ from each other according to the level of filtration or hydrolysis and the proportion of protein and other components contained.

It contains 20% whey and 80% casein protein.<\/strong> For the record, to make 1 kg of whey protein, you need approximately 100 litres of cow&#8217;s milk.

Sourcing whey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To produce whey protein, you first need to obtain the whey. Imagine it as a kind of greenish-yellow liquid. It is 94% water and the remaining 6% is dry matter. The dry matter itself consists mainly of lactose (about 77%), 10% of proteins and the remainder of non-protein nitrogenous and mineral substances or lipids. It is obtained from cow&#8217;s milk by coagulation. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[3<span style=\"text-align: inherit\">2-35]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Processing whey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to process the whey further, it must be treated first. In this process, the casein protein residues and much of the fat are removed to prevent clogging of the filter membranes. Another important step is pasteurisation (short-term heating), which kills unwanted organisms and deactivates certain enzymes. Some minerals that could have a negative effect on the process are also partially removed. The whey that has been treated in this way must then be concentrated by evaporation. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[32-35]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Making whey protein<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic raw material for the production of protein powder is concentrated whey, which has been stripped of casein proteins and partly of fat, lactose and minerals during processing. In order to produce a quality protein from whey, it must undergo gentle filtration. The level of filtration is graded according to how much the pore size of the filter membranes is reduced. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[32-35]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The steps of filtration in the production of whey protein<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>microfiltration<\/strong> (the lowest level, which is the least costly and so is used most often), within which we distinguish two types of filtration: cross-flow or CFM (which is also used in ultrafiltration) and dead-end<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ultrafiltration<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>nanofiltration<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>reverse osmosis<\/strong> (the highest level of filtration)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality and price of the resulting protein depends on the filtration method used.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/css\/vue\/index.css\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"style\">\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/chunk-vendors.js\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"script\">\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/index.js\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"script\">\n    <link data-no-optimize=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/css\/vue\/index.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\n\n    <h2>\n        You might be interested in these products:    <\/h2>\n\n    <div data-app=\"recommended\" data-products=\"6939,46201,58585,67804,78073\" ><\/div>\n\n    <script data-no-optimize=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/chunk-vendors.js\"><\/script>\n    <script data-no-optimize=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/index.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_7_main_benefits_of_whey_protein\"><\/span>The 7 main benefits of whey protein&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although protein is perceived by many as just a supplement for those who desire big muscles, this is definitely by no means the case. Its benefits can be experienced by <strong>people on a diet,<\/strong> those looking to lose weight, or older individuals seeking a <strong>musculoskeletal boost.<\/strong> Let&#8217;s take a look at the main benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Acceleration of metabolism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The increase in metabolism can be <strong>attributed to the thermic effect<\/strong> of protein, which has the highest of all macronutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The thermic effect of macronutrients:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Protein:<\/strong> 20-30%, meaning that out of 100 kcal ingested as protein, the body uses approximately 70-80 kcal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carbohydrates:<\/strong> 5-10%, meaning that out of 100 kcal ingested as carbohydrates, the body uses approximately 90-95 kcal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fat:<\/strong> 0-3%, meaning that out of 100 kcal ingested as fat, the body uses approximately 97-100 kcal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This simply means that our body <strong>uses the most energy of all the macronutrients to metabolise protein.<\/strong> Thus, by consuming them, you burn more energy practically for free, which makes it easier to lose weight.

Losing and maintaining weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It really makes a difference if your body is 25 or 45% muscle mass. Your energy expenditure at the same weight but different body composition will be different. <strong>Muscle mass uses more energy compared to fat mass.<\/strong> The higher the proportion of muscle you have, <strong>the more calories you burn in sport and at rest.<\/strong> This is something that can be put to great use, especially when losing weight.

Growth and maintenance of muscles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This point is surely anticipated by all those who long for a big biceps and a back on which a Boeing 747 could land. The proteins in protein powder are <strong>essential for building muscle mass.<\/strong> In addition, whey protein also helps with the maintenance of already developed muscles, which you will appreciate especially when dieting. When your energy intake is lower, your body tends to reach into its own reserves and use them as a source of energy. And nobody wants to lose their hard-earned muscle. To make the most of protein&#8217;s potential, it&#8217;s ideal to add in strength training, without which muscles won&#8217;t grow. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[12-13]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Improved regeneration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you wonder why others at the gym reach for their protein shake practically right after their workout? Because they are not naive and they don&#8217;t expect to miraculously gain muscles. The main reason is the <strong>ability of protein to start the regeneration of training-damaged muscle fibres almost immediately.<\/strong> And since the body uses protein to repair damaged tissues, together with an optimal protein intake, it can be a great help even after an injury, when a person is <strong>trying to get in shape as soon as possible.<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"> [14-15]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

And you will also have heard that the intestines are crucial for our immunity. Therefore, you will be pleased to know that quality whey protein contains alpha and beta-lactoglobulin or lactoferrin, which are beneficial for our<strong> intestinal immune function.<\/strong> With that being said, having enough protein in your diet is a great way to support your overall health.<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"> [16]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"749\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0242-749x1124.jpg\" alt=\"How to get rid of persistent hunger and cravings?\" class=\"wp-image-407346\" title=\"How to get rid of persistent hunger and cravings?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0242-749x1124.jpg 749w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0242-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0242-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0242-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/IMG_0242-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

A poorly structured diet with a lack of protein could be to blame. It is this macronutrient that has the <strong>highest satiating power<\/strong> and thus helps to ensure satisfaction from eating.

This can benefit, for example, athletes after training who want to start the recovery processes as quickly as possible. This may be because they have another training session scheduled that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On hydrolysates, you will also commonly see the<strong> DH (Degree of Hydrolysis)<\/strong> designation, which also includes a number. This tells you how much the protein has been split. The higher the number, the <strong>more bonds have been split<\/strong> and therefore the faster the protein is digested. To give you an idea of what values to go for &#8211; the highest possible degree of hydrolysis is called <strong>DH32.<\/strong> If you come across such a protein, you can be sure that it is the most absorbable choice. However, you may also come across DH5, for example, where the percentage of split bonds is lower. Because of the splitting, hydrolysate is usually a good alternative for those who are allergic to cow&#8217;s milk protein. This is because when hydrolysed, it<strong> loses its potential to cause an allergic reaction.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[28-30] [38]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much protein does whey hydrolysate contain?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whey hydrolysate typically contains around <strong>70-85% protein.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"631\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image00014-631x1124.jpeg\" alt=\"How is whey hydrolysate made? \" class=\"wp-image-407392\" title=\"How is whey hydrolysate made? \" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image00014-631x1124.jpeg 631w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image00014-225x400.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image00014-862x1536.jpeg 862w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image00014-1150x2048.jpeg 1150w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image00014-scaled.jpeg 1437w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How rapidly is whey hydrolysate absorbed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whey hydrolysate stands out among the whey proteins for its excellent absorption rate.
