Hello Everyone,

What is the real difference between whey protein isolate and concentrate?

I know isolate is more expensive. But, what is the difference in results?

Is it worth the extra money to buy isolate?

Practically? Unless you have an intolerance to lactose I doubt you’ll notice much difference (in terms of gains in muscle, strength, etc.).

Concentrate is likely to make you fart more.

really comes down to how well you do or don't tolerate lactose. Past that, are you ok with a little bit of carbs or fat or do you want absolutely as low as possible or none. The results you'll see in the mirror will be insignificant between using one or the other.

I believe WPC has more health benefits than WPI but like @Resolve10 said, no difference in terms of gains.
