ABOUT WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE (WPI) PROTEIN POWDER

Is Whey Isolate As Good as Whey Protein?

Whey protein isolate is a type of whey protein. It offers a higher protein content and faster absorption rate due to its reduced lactose, fat, and carbohydrate content. While both WPI and WPC can be beneficial, whey protein isolate is often preferred for its purity and efficiency.

Whey Protein Isolate vs Whey Protein Concentrate

The nutritional and pricing differences between WPI and WPC results from a secondary step in the manufacturing process. During production, WPC is microfiltered once, while WPI is filtered a second time. This second filtration removes more fat and carbohydrates, producing a more refined protein. Consequently, WPI is a purer whey protein than WPC.

WPI’s lower lactose content makes it the ideal protein powder for individuals with lactose intolerance, as most can consume it without experiencing digestive symptoms. WPC contains more milk fat than WPI with around 4 – 7% fat. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as this fat can contain beneficial nutrients not found in WPI. WPI is also quicker to digest than WPC, making it a preferred choice for post-work recovery.

Do Whey Protein Supplements Work?

Incorporating whey protein supplements into your diet is an excellent way to meet your protein needs, particularly for athletes and bodybuilders. Taking whey protein before or after exercise can improve muscle strength, lean-muscle growth, and immune function.

WPI and Muscle Growth

Clean whey protein isolates should contain no fillers and have a protein content of around 90%. VPA® whey protein isolate stands out as one of the cleanest options available, featuring only four ingredients: whey protein isolate, flavour, sucralose, and natural colour.

Each 30g serving of VPA® whey protein powder contains 27g of protein, making it 90% protein. This commitment to purity makes VPA® WPI an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality protein supplement without unnecessary additives.

Using Whey Protein Isolate for Muscle Gain

Whey protein isolate is the ideal protein for muscle gain due to its high leucine content and rapid digestion. Among all protein sources, WPI has been shown to promote the greatest rate of muscle growth in response to training.

What is the Best Protein for Weight Loss?

The best protein for weight and fat loss is VPA® whey protein isolate. With its low calorie, fat, and carbohydrate content, it’s the ideal choice for anyone looking to shed pounds while maintaining muscle mass.

Using Whey Protein Isolate on a Keto Diet

VPA® whey protein isolate is an excellent choice for those following a keto diet. With only 0.8g of carbohydrates and 0.2g of fat per serving, it fits perfectly into a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle, making it a keto-friendly protein option.

What Should I Mix WPI Powder With?

Whey protein powder can be easily mixed with water, dairy milk, or milk alternatives. If you're dieting or tracking macros, please note that our nutrition panels do not include the nutritional content of the liquid you choose to mix with your protein. You can adjust the amount of liquid based on your personal preference—whether you like it thicker or more diluted. We also provide mixing guidelines on our packaging.

Whey Protein Supplements Safety

The amount of whey protein you need each day varies based on your activity levels and goals. Highly active individuals, such as athletes or bodybuilders, have significantly different protein requirements compared to those with a more sedentary lifestyle.

Athletes can safely consume more protein than less active individuals. In fact, insufficient protein intake can lead to muscle damage and longer recovery times for athletes. Fortunately, whey protein isolate is safe for consumption and poses no health issues for those who are otherwise healthy.

Can I Use Whey Protein Isolate When Pregnant or Breastfeeding?

Please ask a medical professional such as a GP or dietitian before using protein powder when pregnant or breastfeeding. While there is nothing inherently unsafe in VPA® protein powder for pregnant or breastfeeding women, it’s always best to seek personalised advice. Please click here for more information.

Who Should Not Take Whey Isolate?

Whey protein isolate may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some groups of individuals who should avoid or use caution when considering whey protein isolate:

  • Individuals with milk allergies

  • Individuals with pre-existing kidney or liver conditions

  • People on certain medications

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women

  • Individuals with digestive issues

Is It Safe to Take Whey Protein Isolate Every Day?

Taking whey protein isolate every day is generally considered safe for most individuals, particularly those who are healthy and active. However, there are some important considerations to keep in mind, like individual tolerance, recommended dosage, as well as quality and purity.

Is Whey Protein Vegan?

Whey protein is not vegan-friendly because it is a dairy product. However, whey protein isolate is suitable for vegetarians. Individuals with milk allergies or lactose intolerance should avoid WPI protein, or use it with caution.

When is the Best Time to Take a Protein Shake?

The best time to take protein shakes depends on your health and fitness goals, whether you're aiming to lose weight, build muscle, or preserve muscle mass.

If weight loss is your goal, consuming a protein-rich snack between meals can help curb your appetite by reducing levels of the hunger hormone, leading to fewer calories consumed later in the day.

For those focused on building muscle and strength, it's important to consume more protein than your body naturally breaks down during intensive training. In this case, taking protein shakes after your workout is a safe and effective strategy to support muscle recovery and growth.

Can I Trust Any Supplement Company Selling Whey Protein?

The supplement industry can be challenging to navigate due to its lack of regulation, making it difficult to trust companies that claim to offer high-quality whey protein. To ensure you're getting exactly what you pay for, look for companies that publish third-party lab test results on their websites.

If a company does not provide this information, we strongly recommend avoiding their products. If they do share these results, you can feel confident in your purchase.

For VPA®, you can find our third-party lab results by checking the “Lab Results” tab on our website.

FAQs

How much protein powder should I take per serving?

Our protein powder will come with a scoop for measuring. A single scoop typically equals 30 grams of powder—fill the scoop till it’s level with the top edge and add to your shake.

Is whey isolate better than “premium whey”?

It depends on your needs. Whey isolate offers a higher protein content and faster absorption rate due to its lower lactose and fat content. "Premium whey" can be either isolate or concentrate, so check the label carefully. Whey concentrate might have a richer flavour if taste is a priority. Check out our comparison between the two here. [1]

Is whey isolate Halal?

Whey protein isolate can be Halal, but it depends on the specific product and its ingredients. The rennet used in the cheese-making process can affect the Halal status of whey protein. If animal rennet is used, the resulting whey protein may not be considered Halal.

Is whey isolate lactose-free?

Whey isolate typically contains very little lactose (less than 1%), making it a suitable option for most people with lactose intolerance. However, if you have severe lactose intolerance, you may still experience some digestive issues.

What is the shelf life of protein powder?

When stored properly in a cool, dry place, protein powder can last for several months to over a year. Whey protein powder tends to have a shelf life from nine to 19 months. Always check the expiration date on the label and discard any expired product. [2]

When should you drink protein powder?

You can benefit from protein powder before or after a workout to help with muscle protein synthesis. Research suggests consuming 20 – 40 grams of protein every 3 – 4 hours for optimal results. You can also use it as a convenient way to increase your overall protein intake throughout the day. [3], [4]

Timing your protein intake strategically can maximise its effectiveness. If you consume a high-protein meal an hour before exercising, you could follow up with a protein shake an hour or two after your workout. However, if you're supplementing with protein powder to meet your nutritional needs or support weight loss goals, you can drink a protein shake at any time. Keep in mind that one serving of high-quality protein powder will help satisfy your hunger, so it's best to space your protein shakes around mealtimes to avoid overconsumption.

What’s the difference between whey isolate and whey hydrolysate?

Whey hydrolysate is a type of whey protein that has been pre-digested, making it even faster absorbing than whey isolate. This can be beneficial for athletes seeking the quickest possible protein delivery after exercise. However, whey hydrolysate can be more expensive than whey isolate.

Do you deliver whey isolate to New Zealand?

Yes, we deliver whey isolate to New Zealand! You can purchase it online from vpa.com.au, as we deliver worldwide. Alternatively, if you prefer to shop locally, you can find a VPA stockist near you by visiting our store locator page here.

Does whey isolate taste bad?

Whey isolate itself doesn't have a good taste, which is why it's often available in various flavoured options like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. You can also mix it with other ingredients like fruits and yoghurt in smoothies for a more enjoyable taste. [5]

What are the different types of protein powder?

There are several protein powder options to consider:

  • Whey protein: This is a popular choice due to its fast absorption rate and complete amino acid profile. Whey isolate is a more refined version with a higher protein content and lower lactose content.

  • Casein protein: This digests slower than whey, making it a good option for nighttime use or between meals

  • Soy protein: A plant-based protein source, good for those who follow a vegan diet or have dairy sensitivities. [6]

  • Egg protein: Another high-quality protein source with a complete amino acid profile. [7]
  • Pea protein: Another plant-based option, hypoallergenic and easily digestible. [8]

Is whey isolate gluten-free?

Yes, whey protein itself is naturally gluten-free. You may see whey listed as “whey concentrate”, “whey isolate” or “whey hydrolysate” on the package. All of these forms of whey protein are gluten-free and are safe for people with celiac disease. [9]

What is considered a “clean” whey protein isolate?

Look for whey protein isolates with a high protein content (around 90%) and minimal fillers or additives. VPA WPI has only four ingredients—whey protein isolate, flavour, sucralose, and natural colour—making it the “cleanest” whey protein isolate available. Each 30g serving contains 27g of protein, making it 90% protein.

What are the benefits of whey protein isolate?

Whey protein contains all nine essential amino acids, including an extra high dose of the amino acid leucine, which has been shown to effectively stimulate muscle protein synthesis and help build more muscle mass. Since WPI is the purest protein source available for consumption, it helps maintain and build muscle tissue and prevent catabolic activity during high-intensity resistance training sessions. [10]

Can whey isolate cause diarrhea?

Some people with lactose intolerance may experience digestive issues like bloating, gas, or diarrhea after consuming whey isolate. However, the minimal amount of lactose present in isolate is usually well-tolerated. [11]

Whey isolate vs. casein: which is better for muscle building?

Whey isolate is generally considered a better choice for building muscle due to its faster absorption rate. Casein, on the other hand, releases protein slowly over time, making it a good option for nighttime use or between meals. Whey protein has more of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA’s), while casein contains more of histidine amino acids, methionine, and phenylalanine. [12]

Does whey isolate contain estrogen?

Soy protein can contain plant estrogens (phytoestrogens), known as isoflavones. Whey protein (which is made from cow’s milk) can also contain these isoflavones (due to soy in cow feed) as well the hormone estradiol (an estrogen) that is naturally found in cow milk. However, the levels are very low and unlikely to have any significant hormonal effects in humans.

What is the glycemic index of whey isolate?

While whey protein can stimulate insulin secretion in some individuals, research suggests minimal impact on blood sugar levels in most healthy people. However, for individuals with obesity, whey protein appeared to trigger an increase in glucose levels.

Can whey isolate cause acne?

Research suggests that whey protein may contribute to acne in some individuals due to its potential to increase insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels, which can lead to increased sebum production. But this may only be the case for a specific type—your protein powder of choice might be causing you to breakout.

Is whey isolate dairy-free?

No, WPI and other protein powders are not dairy-free as they are derived from milk. While it’s important to note that whey isolate contains a minimal amount of lactose, it may not be suitable for those with strict dairy allergies or sensitivities.

Can I use whey protein isolate as a meal replacement?

Whey protein isolate can be a convenient way to boost protein intake, but it's not a complete meal replacement. It lacks essential nutrients found in whole foods, so it's best used as a supplement to a balanced diet.

What does protein powder do?

Protein powder provides your body with essential protein for tissue repair, muscle building, and the production of enzymes and hormones. The protein acts the same way as protein from whole foods, supporting the body's functions and being a core nutrient in a healthy, well-balanced diet.

Can whey isolate help with diabetes?

Research suggests that whey protein may have beneficial effects for individuals with diabetes. It can help slow down the digestion of food, stimulate insulin production, and reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on incorporating whey protein into your diabetes management plan.
