When we exercise, we put stress on our muscles, which creates micro-tears between muscle filaments. Protein helps repair damage muscle tissue, and then builds even more muscle, making it stronger than before.

Let's look at 3 of the most popular types of protein, Whey Protein Isolate, Casein Protein, and Whey Protein Concentrate.

The well-rounded, quicker digesting workout protein

Whey is an extremely well-rounded animal protein. It digests quickly, making it great for workouts, and contains all 9 essential amino acids (including the three BCAAs).

Whey Protein Isolate is a highly filtered form of whey protein. The filtration leaves it with almost no lactose, which is makes it easier to digest than whey protein concentrate. If Whey Protein Isolate sounds like something that will work for you, see our Top 3 recommendations below.

The slower digesting, longer lasting protein.

For a slower releasing, longer lasting Whey Protein, look no further than Casein Protein.

Casein Protein digests at a slower rate, so it's better equipped for use before fasting or sleeping. In addition, it's great for busy people with unpredictable schedules that might have longer gaps between meals.

If Casein Protein sounds like the right protein powder for you, see below for our Top 3 recommended Casein Proteins.

A creamier, better tasting, and less expensive option.

Whey protein is often called the “King of Protein” and with good reason. Animal proteins such as whey contain all the amino acids that your body needs to build muscle including high amounts of the three “essential” amino acids.

Whey protein concentrate has a higher percentage of lactose than whey protein isolate, but is still relatively low in carbohydrates and fats. Since whey protein concentrate is more concentrated, it is a creamier, and better tasting whey than isolate and is generally cheaper. Check out our 3 Top Whey Protein Concentrates below:
