Isolate

Protein powders come in many forms, and isolate is just one of them.

Most commonly associated with whey protein, isolate powders undergo a rigorous filtering process. This works to completely isolate the protein in whey so that it contains nearly no carbs, sugars, fats or calories! The result is a highly concentrated powder that can be used more efficiently by the muscles.

During the filtering process, almost all lactose is removed from whey protein. However, if you are allergic to dairy, beef isolate might suit you better. These formulas are complete proteins, so you will receive all the essential amino acids your body needs for success.

If you are looking to boost your muscle mass without increasing your calorie intake, isolate is a great alternative to other protein powders. Make sure to only use your isolate as directed, usually by adding to water after a heavy workout session.
