are you lost not sure which way to go
0:04
stick around this video will help you

i'm katie braun product developer at
0:11
myprotein got some fitness goals you're
0:13
looking to hit find your way with whey
0:16
whey is one of the most commonly used
0:18
nutrition supplements but have you ever
0:20
polished off a shake and wondered hey
0:22
what actually is why well whey protein
0:25
is one of the major components of koi's
0:27
milk accounting for about 20 of its
0:29
protein content when using milk to make
0:32
cheese the liquid that separates out
0:33
from the curds during the process is the
0:35
whey to make it into the whey powder
0:37
that you know and love we simply filter
0:39
evaporate and spray dry the liquid to
0:43
this bag of whey that i'm holding up in
0:46
whey is considered a complete protein
0:48
which means it contains all nine
0:50
essential amino acids so called because
0:52
they're essential for our health and
0:53
body functions but we can't make them
0:55
ourselves and our bodies therefore it's
0:57
essential we get them from our diet it's
0:59
ideal for muscle building and muscle
1:01
recovery by promoting muscle protein
1:04
synthesis compared to other sources of
1:06
protein it's got a particularly strong
1:08
amino acid profile and a fast and easy
1:10
digestion and absorption by the body
1:12
which is why it's a firm favorite in the
1:14
sports nutrition world find out more
1:16
about why in this video with richie
1:18
but here's where it gets interesting why
1:20
potters are available in two forms
1:24
why concentrate and weigh islam
1:27
when you think whey protein whey
1:29
concentrate is probably the form that
1:30
you think of immediately it's the result
1:32
of the liquid whey being pushed through
1:34
a filter and dried why isolate however
1:36
undergoes cross flow micro filtration a
1:39
more rigorous filtration process which
1:41
causes the protein to separate from fat
1:43
and lactose this has a couple of
1:45
different effects on the final product
1:47
the protein content concentrate has a
1:49
protein content of approximately 80
1:51
where the additional filtering results
1:53
in isolates protein content being higher
1:57
fat content the extra filtration and
1:59
separation of the protein from fat and
2:01
isolate means the fat content is lower
2:04
perfect if you're following a low fat
2:06
diet lactose white isolate has also had
2:09
the protein separated from the lactose
2:11
so it's ideal for those with an
2:13
intolerance whilst it's right to a shame
2:15
that the additional processing and
2:16
purification the why undergoes to create
2:18
white isolate does degrade the protein
2:20
and make it lose some of its biological
2:22
activity you can be assured that the
2:24
amino acid structure and sequence is
2:26
unaffected this is what is actually
2:28
important for building muscle all large
2:30
proteins are broken down into amino
2:32
acids during digestion anyway so whether
2:34
this happens in your gut or during
2:36
manufacturing doesn't make a huge amount
2:38
of difference the body's rate of
2:40
absorption is typically about the same
2:42
between concentrate and isolate
2:44
ultimately the choice of weight you
2:45
choose should depend on your goals your
2:47
budget and potentially your allergies as
2:50
whey concentrate has a significantly
2:52
higher amount of lactose it's better to
2:54
opt for isolate if you're lactose
2:55
intolerant to avoid any discomfort or
2:57
difficulty with digesting looking to
2:59
save that all important cash though as
3:02
whey isolate requires more processing
3:04
than concentrate it's also more
3:06
expensive on a final note whilst there
3:08
is some debate about potential negatives
3:10
from protein supplementation no
3:12
significant evidence is available
3:13
healthy individuals with normal kidney
3:15
function can tolerate daily
3:17
supplementation of whey protein with no
3:18
documented side effects and protein
3:20
shakes have now become a mainstream way
3:22
of hitting your macronutrient goals
3:24
without all the meal prep or long
3:25
grocery shopping list it's always a good
3:28
idea to check with your doctor if you
3:29
have any concerns about supplementing or
3:32
any underlying health conditions so
3:34
that's it my quick guide to whey
3:35
concentrate versus where islet both are
3:37
excellent sources of protein but
3:39
hopefully this video can help you choose
3:41
