whey iso vs normal whey

[soheil25]

my walmart has this body fortress 4.4 pounds of whey isolate for like $50 canadian. is it worth it to switch over to that? im currently using normal whey similar priced ( mutant whey)

[co1e_train]

IMO, I dont think its worth the price to switch. Regular whey concentrate will accomplish the same that whey isolate will in terms of helping you get your daily protein macronutrient needs. I wouldnt worry about wasting the money. I would be concerned with your daily nutrition and making sure your daily macros are spot on.


The only thing I would say about Body Fortress is that they list "taurine" and "glycine" as ingredients. While this isnt bad, many companies have used these two amino acids to spike the nitrogen readings that are used to determine how much protein there is per serving. I personally dont use or buy from companies that list them as ingredients because I want to do everything I can do to make sure im getting what a label says. The supp industry is FULL of dirty business practices and dishonesty so you may want to buy a different brand.


Brands you can trust without a doubt:
Optimum Nutrition
Dymatize
VPX
Cellucor
MTS

Well said, an isolate would suit those who are lactose intolerance , a regular whey is fine to help you reach your protein intake goals when you cannot get it via whole foods.

Some great suggestions above i would also add
Scivation
Controlled Labs
San Titanium Whey

Isolate will give you better macro ratios ( lower cals/carbs/fat). I stick with blends as they normally taste a lot better and have better amino profiles. Taste wise you cant go wrong with those mentioned above, but also check out BioX Power Whey Complex great profile and amazing taste/mixability and NO FILLERS (TAURINE/GLYCINE) to spike protein content, each 5lb container gives you ~66 servings!

IDK how the pounds to price lines up, but I always shop by # of servings.

MET-Rx has whey that's 75 servings for 45 bucks. Pretty cheap and gets the job done

I like using a good blend like Big Blend, phase8, xf, etc....

Isolates are more friendly to people who are lactose intolerant. I don't see the point of spending extra money on them if a person isn't.

Yeah brah, unless you are lactose intolerant just stick to whey concentrate etc. from what I've seen ISO is a little more expensive.
