Whey Isolate

Whey Isolate is a concentrated dairy-derived protein powder commonly used in shakes and sports nutrition for rapid recovery and muscle building. It delivers 90g of protein per 100g, making it a very dense source of high-quality, quickly absorbed amino acids. It is very low in carbohydrates and fat and also provides small amounts of vitamin B12, riboflavin and selenium. Because it is a highly processed isolate, it offers convenient, pure protein but lacks the fiber and broader nutrient matrix of whole-food protein sources.
