Isolate bro. Concentrate isn't nearly as isolated.

[Trozzle]

Ultimately what's the point in getting concentrate over isolate? Just a cost thing? Surely isolate can only be better. Not like it's comparing WPI to micellar casein or something.

[No Crust Racing]

I understand the difference, I'm looking at trying the WPC as it's cheaper and given my low goals and ability should be enough.

So I'm interested in hearing from anyone using the WPC.

[No Crust Racing]

Pretty much just the cost for the given amount of protein, if I can spend less and get the same amount of protein and BCAAs then it's worth looking at.

[Birds]

But you can't and I've heard concentrate doesn't mix as easily. What's the diff, like $10?

[No Crust Racing]

$10 per kg pretty much. Though as you can see diff protein contents - my point being, realistically if I'm going to see any difference from the lower protein amount given my workload. I'm guessing not.

Pics or you're a Thai hooker with a receeding hair line and a penchant for cake.

How close did I get?

Not Thai, but correct on all other points.

[bozodos]

so it's safe to assume you don't look like a t-rex then

I've read a few good things about Bulk Nutrients, would certainly be cheaper than what I'm paying for ON Gold Standard.

Ayo if you don't care about mixability and lactose, go the concentrate. Personally I can't stand unmixed shit, so I like the isolate. I also have a slight aversion to too much lactose.

[No Crust Racing]

My mixer is pretty intense, but how big a clumps are we talking though, have you actually used it?

[TM7GTR]

dang son, If you gotta use a mixer for your protein you're doing it wrong

[No Crust Racing]

Wrong terminology maybe? I just mean a shaker with a ball in it, that's my serious mixer, the only I normally use is just a shaker with a plastic star shaped insert at the top and it goes fine.

[Birds]

What protein are you using at the moment? A concentrate or an isolate?

For $50, if you don't care bout mixing, go the concentrate.

[No Crust Racing]

Dymatize Elite WPI

[Birds]

Okay, well that will certainly mix easier than the concentrate...but meh...get a sample or a 1kg bag of the concentrate and see what it's like?

I go through this stuff fairly quickly, so even a 5kg bag of a bad flavour or something doesn't phase me.

I find concentrate mixes fine, have had a few brands no clumps. Just don't be lazy and only shake it 3 times.

Have you tried the BN WPC or are you just talking WPCs in general?

[rev210]

Either way (including calcium cassinate), easiest way to mix is with a stick blender in a tall cup , I do oats plus frozen blue berries as my breakfast with some non flavoured pure protien. Simple clean up and ready in seconds.

Concentrate is slightly slower to digest vs isolate (both are rapidly absorbed however , so work as post workout pretty well). If you don't care about taste ,Concentrate is the way to go.

[-FIGJAM-]

ive gone off pretty much all supplements. Only the occasional pre workout if i am real run down after work.

otherwise its just food food food for me. Getting pretty tired of eating chicken, fish and steak though...

[bozodos]

too hard to get enough protein from food (and having to watch calories) as well.
