I've had a quite a few flavours now so hopefully I can help a little with the difficult choice of which to go for. If you’ve made it this far… sorry if it’s long & rambly, teething baby = chronic sleep dep, and I had to chase a bat out of my kitchen halfway through typing this on my phone, anyway my question was – shall I use whey powder? Whey protein concentrate is on average around 70-80% protein, with a moderate fat content. Our popular Impact Whey Protein provides over 80% protein per serving, so you can be assured of its quality.

Whey isolate is also much lower in lactose, making it ideal for those with an intolerance. As whey concentrate is further processed and purified to make whey isolate, the structure becomes degraded and loses some of its biological activity. However, the amino acid structure and sequence is unaffected, which is what’s important for building muscle. All large proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion anyway, so whether this happens in your gut or during a manufacture makes no difference at all. Quite simply, if you want decent quality protein without have to splurge a small fortune, know that this supplement is an absolute belter.
