Whey protein is the most important supplement you can take, with essential benefits for everyone from casual gym-goers to elite sportsmen. But with so many choices, each with a variety of other substances and bewildering acronyms propping up their ingredients list, it can be difficult to know what you’re actually putting into your body - or if it’s even helping your training.

Totally agree. Whey is a health drink just as much as an extra protein source. To benefit from all the other health giving micro nutrients you really need to be consuming undenatured whey. Once it's been heated or 'natured' it loses some, if not most of these beneficial nutrients.

Production process

Both isolate whey and concentrate go through a microfiltration process – basically a really fine sieve – but isolate goes through it more times.
This produces a powder containing more than 90% pure protein, compared with around 75-85% for concentrate.

Protein type

Take whey straight after a workout for a quick hit of muscle-building nutrients.
Casein is the bedtime protein, and you should take it before you hit the hay for a prolonged release of protein to aid muscle recovery and growth.
Soy protein is a vegan option derived from soya beans, and studies have shown that it, like the previous two, supports muscle hypertrophy.
