Types of Whey Protein..?? (A Beginners Guide)

Most of the gym beginners are really confused that "Should I buy protein or not...??"
To answer this question, I would say that it......
.
.
.
DEPENDS...!!!

Yeah.. it depends on many factors which includes... your diet, your workout, the time you have been working out etc.

But, if you will take my advice, If you are beginner a pure gym novice trying to get in shape and you have just been in the gym for not more than 3 months, I would not recommend you to go for Proteins and other kinds of supplements. The main goal for you people is to make a routine, a habit to go the gym (or other kinds of workout place). So if you are such a person, you don't need to read rest of this article. (If still confused about working out checkout Why should you train your body?)

So, coming to the main topic the "Type of protein (or specifically whey protein) you should buy". At this time the market is flooded with different type of proteins, which confuse most of us as "which is the best one for me..??". Out of these, all proteins whey protein is probably the "best of the protein" available in the market. So.....

What is whey protein??

Whey protein in simple words is the protein from "Milk". (This answers the question... "Is protein vegetarian..?")

How it is made??

It all starts in a dairy... The cows are milked. The milk is transported to the manufacturing facility where the process of cheese making starts. Special enzymes are added to milk to separate the cheese or curd. The cheese or curd is taken out and the bi-product left is liquid whey. The whey is then usually pasteurized, filtered, and dried into a powder to create whey protein.

3 Main Type of whey protein??

Now, the main type of proteins which are commercially available are:
  1. Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC)
  2. Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)
  3. Hydrolyzed Whey Protein

Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC)

The amount of protein in whey protein concentrate can vary between 25-89%. The whey protein powder supplements that you find in health and nutrition stores often list whey protein concentrate on the label. This type of whey protein is usually 80% protein. The rest of the product consists of lactose (4-8%), fat, minerals, and moisture. The first protein, you ever buy should be WPC because this is cheap, contains a good amount of protein and is a good starting or first supplement (as you will know if you are allergic or have some kind of problem from supplements). One of beginners protein is:

But the best and cheap beginner's protein.. which I recommend to most of the people is "Impact my protein"

Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)

WPI is the purest form of whey protein available and contains 90-95% protein, low in fat. It is a good protein source for individuals with lactose intolerance as it contains little or no lactose. WPIs are also very low in fat. The cost of a WPI will be slightly higher than WPC due to the purity and higher protein content of the product. This is the most common protein used by bodybuilders. Some of the good isolate proteins are listed below:

Hydrolyzed Whey Protein

The long protein chains in the whey protein have been broken down into shorter chains called peptides. This makes this type of whey protein more easily absorbed by the body and may reduce the potential for allergic reactions. Hydrolyzed whey protein is often used in infant formulas and sports and medical nutrition products. Hydrolysis does not reduce the nutritional quality of the whey protein. It is extremely costly. So, I don't recommend using it (but you can sure go for this type of protein... if you have the money).

To sum up,

Type
Protein
Lactose
Fat
Whey Protein Concentrate 1
25-89%
4-52%
1-9%
Whey Protein Isolate
90-95%
0.5-1%
0.5-1%
Hydrolyzed Whey Protein
80-90%
0.5-10%
0.5-0.8%
