I think nattydisaster was correct in recommending Select in this thread. I see people focusing on the words "isolate" and "blend", instead of just looking at the facts. Fact is that Select has less than 1g of sugar, which means less than 1g of lactose, which means it isn't going to bother someone who is lactose intolerant(ie. myself).
People are just spouting off the word "isolate" as if it's the conclusion, rather than a premise, which is circular reasoning. Look at the product itself(ie. Select having less than 1g sugar aka the premise) to form the conclusion (That recommending Select is ok even in an "isolate" thread).
I think Isolates are overhyped post-workout as well. Perhaps mrcooper could explain the science in more detail, but apparently even isolates still take almost an hour to get absorbed into your bloodstream, so all you are doing when drinking a pure isolate is just generating an insulin spike and robbing yourself of prolonged protein synthesis due to isolates returning you to baseline much quicker than a blend. Just look at proteins in nature. Every single protein is slowly digested, which is why I love Select in the first place--it's closer to a whole food and therefore a much more efficacious supplement.
Sorry if I seem like a Select fanboy. I'm not too big on supplements in general, but I sincerely view Select as a real big step forward in the supplement industry personally(I remember a time when protein products were all of low quality), so I'm passionate about the product.
