So why use a Whey Protein
Whey protein is a mixture of milk proteins, produced as a by-product of cheese making. It contains a complete set of amino acids and is especially rich in leucine, isoleucine and valine that are important for muscle growth and maintenance. It is also a good source of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.

US scientists found that increasing protein in the diet while keeping your carbohydrate intake the same and reducing fat levels, led to ‘significantly greater weight loss’ than following other diets.

Whey protein may also be better at stopping the hunger pangs than other protein supplements. In one Dutch study, those given whey-protein enriched breakfasts felt fuller for much longer than those given soy or casein proteins.

Different Types of Whey Protein
Those that aren’t familiar with protein may not know that there are three different types of Whey Protein these are hydrolysate, isolate and concentrate. Each has its own benefits and uses and some brands even combine them to reap these benefits for a well-rounded whey protein.

Whey protein hydrolysate is already partially digested making it easily absorbed by the body. Due to this it is mainly used as a medical protein supplement for those with a high protein dietary need.

Whey protein isolate is highly processed with the aim of removing any lactose and fat. Doing this makes it easily absorbed by the body and fast acting. Many premium whey proteins use whey isolate as a main ingredient.

Whey protein concentrate is used by many brands in their products. The thing to remember with this type of protein is that the quality varies. Always check the protein content before buying and what type of protein has been used..

Flavours
With lots of flavours to choose from there will obviously be a good number of very tasty ones for most people. The problem most people suffer from when buying protein is that they find that one particular flavour that they like and stick with it. The thing i have found when trying a different brand out is that if i don’t like their staples flavours, then their more exotic ones are rarely to my taste either.

There are many people who choose to go for an unflavored whey protein. Some just like the flavour or rather lack of it where as others like to add their own flavoring using peanut butter or honey for example. If you are not particularly a fan of unflavoured protein it is still worth checking out what others think about a particular brands version. You will find that people who opt for an unflavored protein tend to go for the brand with the best mixability and this is always handy to know.

We have all heard of MyProtein and many of us also know that they have quickly gained a reputation for their affordable and high quality supplements.

The Manufacturing Process

BULK POWDERS™ Pure Whey Protein™ is manufactured from sweet cheese whey using advanced cross-flow membrane filtration. It is then agglomerated and instantised, using a small amount of soya lecithin to ensure instant mixability.

The above processes are carried out at low temperatures so that the resulting whey protein remains undenatured; which is extremely important when choosing a whey protein. Undenatured whey protein preserves vital protein fractions, such as lactoferrin and immunoglobulins, resulting in a whey protein with great nutritional value.

Flavoured or Unflavoured?

The advantage of choosing unflavoured Pure Whey Protein™ is that you obtain 80% protein per serving, whereas with flavoured Pure Whey Protein™ this percentage does reduce by approximately 3-5% depending on the flavour selected.

On the other hand, the advantage of choosing flavoured Pure Whey Protein™ is quite simply… taste! Whilst unflavoured Pure Whey Protein™ is certainly palatable (it’s often described by customers’ as tasting like “watered down milk”) our flavoured Pure Whey Protein™ receives amazing feedback when it comes to taste. For many, taste is extremely important, especially for a product that may be consumed multiple times per day.

If you do opt for unflavoured Pure Whey Protein™ and would like to improve its taste, then we would suggest using LiquiFlav – our highly popular, zero calorie liquid flavouring system, available in a range of delicious flavours!
