What Are the Different Types of Protein?

Plant-Based Proteins

Plant-based proteins are less similar to our body's own proteins compared to animal proteins. Therefore, it is important to combine different plant-based proteins in a plant-based diet to obtain a complete amino acid profile. You can make it easier for yourself by choosing a plant-based protein shake that provides all the necessary amino acids.

Whey Proteins

Whey proteins are popular due to their high biological value. However, they can also be subdivided. To isolate whey proteins from whey, various purification steps can be undertaken. Each of these techniques yields its own degree of purity.

Whey Concentrate is the least processed form of whey protein and contains approximately 70-85% protein. The remainder consists mainly of carbohydrates (primarily lactose) and fats. Whey Isolate undergoes an additional filtration step where carbohydrates and fats are almost entirely removed, resulting in minimal lactose content. Whey Isolate contains more than 90% protein and is so pure that it is highly popular among bodybuilders and avid athletes due to its rapid absorption and easy digestibility, making it ideal for muscle building, muscle recovery, and cutting. Even if you're not an avid athlete but wish to increase your protein intake, whey isolate is highly suitable.

Whey Hydrolysate is the purest form, consisting of 100% whey protein. However, the filtration techniques required to obtain pure whey protein are costly, and the difference in effect compared to isolate is minimal, so whey isolate is usually preferred.
