Although much maligned by companies who have invested heavily in marketing isolates, a well made concentrate is still a
high quality source of whey protein, though it will contain higher levels of lactose, ash, and fat then an isolate.
The pros and cons of isolates, and the micro filtered vs. ion exchange debate
Whey Protein Isolates (WPIs) generally contain as much as 90-96% protein. Research has found that only whey proteins in
their natural undenatured state (i.e. native conformational state) have biological activity. Processing whey protein to
remove the lactose, fats, etc. without losing its biological activity takes special care by the manufacturer.
Maintaining the natural undenatured state of the protein is essential to its anti-cancer and immune-modulating
activity.
