    differences in whey protein

    i went to GNC today to buy 100% Whey protein
    cause its what im used to

    then i noticed they had Soy Protein that was cheaper

    i was just wondering anybody know the differences between the two
    are they significant , basically the same?

    not at all the same.

    whey is much better which is why it costs more (higher demand).

    here's a link to a basic introduction to protein. not the best, but the best that I could find in 30 seconds.

    i'm just messin with ya bro, but the difference in the two is very profound, so it's not something i can write out, there are whole articles and books on the subject

    the main difference we are talking about is this,

    whey has a complete amino acid profile, while soy doesn't(unless aminos are added in)

    whey is digested faster by several hours

    lol, you beat me on that reply by about 2 seconds!
    I agree with Phate and I was writing way too much.
    The amino acid chain in whey is one of the best suited for use in the human body.

    Dont forget there are several types of whey. Concentrate, Isolate and Ion Exchange to name a few. Whey Protein Concentrate is really not much better than powdered milk, hence the cheap cost. Just cause it says "100% Whey" does not mean its a good product.

    Don't buy gnc 100% whey. It's mainly comprised of whey concentrate, garbage. Order gold standard by ON off the net.

    Whey digests very rapidly and thus the amino acids enter the blood stream faster than other protein sources. This fast acting protein is beneficial in the post work-out "anabolic window" (0-45 minutes after training)because the muscle tissue is most receptive to insulin and nutrients in the blood. This is also the reason carbohydrates are recommended post workout; to replenish glycogen stores and boost insulin release as well.

    Straight out of Wiki

    isolate or hydrolysate 50-60%
    soy 20%
    casein 20%

    would be a nice one i think

    I think soy protein is mainly marketed toward vegans.

    ...wow... I didn't know that the veggie people do not eat dairy..good lord. next they won't be driving cars either.
    But I guess whey does come indirectly from animals. Using rennit, bact. cultures, and milk....do vegans breastfeed their kids? or do they consider it cannibalism?

    Concentrate is garbage? so if my whey is mainly concentrate I should get another? how long does concentrate take to be absorbed vs isolate?

    Big difference between vegetarian and vegan.

    Do all meat eaters suck cock? I know I got a piece of meat hanging between my legs.

    the difference is that concentrate is only required to contain around 80-85% protein, and the rest can be filler(maltodextrin, dextrose, whatever) while isolate has to be at least 98% i believe(or pretty close to that number)000

    ok so 100% whey protein = garbage and the reason is ------

    because it consist of mainly concentrated whatever

    what we want for a PWO is isolate protein

    and this can be found wheree for cheap or reaosnable price ?
