Whey Protein Isolate

Whey Protein Isolate is a category of protein supplements also known as WPI (Whey Protein Isolate). They are derived from milk, and boast a highly beneficial amino acid spectrum. They are manufactured by first producing a whey concentrate, which is then used to derive whey isolate via filtration. This makes for a much “cleaner” product, meaning a whey isolate usually boasts a high protein content (80 % and more), while containing a lot less lactose (milk sugar), fats, and generally providing a higher absorbability rate. This kind of ingredients profile is particularly useful for strength athletes on a diet, who are looking for the cleanest possible sources of protein, or suffer from issues that complicate their ability to digest lactose. Products such as Pure IsoWhey or IsoFue are prototypical in this category. And if you enjoy refreshing fruit flavours, you will no doubt love Clear Whey IsoFue.
