- What is Protein?
It’s essentially all the essential amino acids you need bundled together. Meats and whey protein supplements are both excellent sources of amino acids. - Why Whey Protein?
Convenience, ease of mixing and digestibility are the three primary reasons so consume protein powder in supplement form. - Does All Whey Protein Work The Same?
If it’s a complete source of amino acids, they are similar. The key factor is whey protein powder is concentrated and immediately available to repair and build muscle. - How Do I Choose The Best Protein Powder?
Consider factors such as lactose intolerance, fat content and training goals when choosing the best whey protein for you specifically. Experiment with different forms rather than use what is suggested by others until you find what is right for you. - What Is The Difference Between Whey Protein and Milk Protein?
Fat, cholesterol and lactose content is the primary difference. Unless you have a severe lactose intolerance, either one should be good for you. While milk protein has a slightly higher lactose content, it’s still only about 1-2% which is very low. - How Does Whey Protein Compare To Other Protein Sources?
Rather than having your body filter out the amino acids you need for building muscle, whey protein has been filtered before it enters your digestive tract. This means you aren’t taxing your body as hard to extract the protein you desire. In addition, it’s convenient to consume anywhere and anytime in an instant. - How Is Whey Protein Isolate Different From Other Whey Protein Powders?
Whey Protein Isolate has been micro filtered to contain the highest protein percentage possible. It’s typically made from WPI90 which is 90% protein by weight. You can’t do better than that when you take all things into consideration. - Can Whey Protein Help Me Lose Weight?
Yes, it’s quite possible that it can. You get a very high protein content without the excess calories, fat and carbohydrates. Building more muscle mass typically results in an increased metabolism which contributes to fat burning and weight loss. - Is Whey Protein Lactose Free?
It is essentially lactose free yes. The percentage is so low that we say it’s lactose free. It’s impossible to get every single fraction of lactose out of whey protein but we get as close as you ever can. - How Much Protein Should I Consume From Supplements?
You can consume all your daily protein in supplement form if you choose. ProteinCo Canada always suggests variety in your protein intake daily so using it as “supplemental” to everything else you consume each day is our best advice.
