What's the difference between Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) and Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)?Updated 4 days ago

WPC undergoes less processing than WPI, retaining more of the naturally occurring nutrients and bioactive compounds found in whey.

We chose WPC because it retains more bioactive compounds, such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and growth factors, due to its less intensive processing. 

WPC also contains a higher concentration of vitamins and minerals naturally present in whey, which may contribute to overall nutritional balance.

While both WPC and WPI support muscle growth, recovery, and overall protein synthesis similarly due to their complete amino acid profiles, WPC’s retention of bioactive compounds gives it an edge over WPI.
