Re: Best whey protein?
You want whey protein concentrate, NOT isolate. Isolate removes all the beneficial compounds.
Whey protein concentrate will be ultrafiltered or microfiltered.
If possible get it from grass fed/non antibiotic/growth hormone cows.
As long as it has these three qualities just go with the cheapest price you can find.

true, here it is http://www.iherb.com/Search?kw=ImmunoPro+Rx and looks good from the reviews, but its a bit pricey, or maybe it worth every penny... it's in my favorites list now.

Re: Best whey protein?
And what exactly would those "beneficial compounds" be I'm curious? Perhaps you should not parrot everything Mercola and friends so say. I hope that he is an expert on something, but when it comes to protein powders, he is lost.abc123 wrote:You want whey protein concentrate, NOT isolate. Isolate removes all the beneficial compounds.
Whey isolates used to be made (and there are still some around) by ion-exchanging process, but nowadays the state-of-art is cross-flow microfiltration (CFM). This mechanical "cold" filtration enriches the peptides (and it's the peptides that set whey apart from other proteins) and strips the lactose and the bad cholesterol. This quote sums it up well: "The pros of well made micro filtered isolates is a high protein content (90% or above), low lactose and fat levels, very low levels of undenatured proteins, and the retention of important subfractions in their natural ratios." Granted, CLA is also stripped, but oh my.

Zomg, Pro tip: Might be a good idea to not make baseless assumptions when you decide to randomly attack someone as it will save you from looking like an ass in the future.
My recommendation to use WPC over WPI was because of WPI's tendency to be ion-exchanged. If you have WPI that uses microfiltration, great. However WPC is still more beneficial because it has increased fat/sugar. It is also cheaper.
Stripping lactose and casein is not desirable. "Some amino acids directly stimulate insulin secretion, decreasing blood sugar and leading to the secretion of cortisol in reaction to the depression of blood glucose. The presence of lactose in milk, and of fat, to slow absorption of the amino acids, helps to minimize the secretion of cortisol. The main protein of milk, casein, seems to have some direct antistress effects (Biswas, et al., 2003)."
WPC contains more:
- Dairy fat - increased intake associated with decreased diabetes and heart disease.
- CLA
- Lactoferrin
- Calcium, potassium and sodium.
- Immunoglobulins
- Glycomacropeptides
- Lactoperoxidase
- Lysozyme
- Growth Factors
- Cheaper
The only legitimate reason one could make for WPI against WPC would be that WPC contains more cholesterol, which has a chance of being oxidized. This is still quite silly because the cholesterol per serve is between 30-40mg and therefore I would be more worried about the oxidized cholesterol from cooking a couple of eggs.
-Lactoferrin, ever so present in whey concentrate, reduces ldl oxidation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8011684
-Whey protein supplementation decreases VLDL in rats http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8399095
-And greater full fat dairy intake being associated with better cardiovascular health http://www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v64/n6/abs/ejcn201045a.html
Quite frankly there are many other things id worry about before concerning myself with the risk of ingesting some potentially oxidized cholestrol from WPC. Especially when the net effect of WPC is still positive and you get the added benefits of increased dairy fat and lactose.
OH MY, indeed

Re: Best whey protein?
This is getting hilarious, so let me pull some numbers here. Consider this example of whey protein fractions
from an ultra-filtrated wpc vs a micro-filtrated wpi:
For the wpc the protein fractions are: 44% Beta lactoglobulin, 17% Alpha lactalbumin, 1.5% Bovine serum albumin, 8% Immunoglobulin G, 0.5% Lactoferrin, 26% Glycomacropeptide.
In contrast, for the wpi the protein fractions are: 47% Beta lactoglobulin, 17% Alpha lactalbumin, 1.5% Bovine serum albumin,2% Immunoglobulin G, 0.5% Lactoferrin, 27% Glycomacropeptide.
As you can see, no big difference there.
Now for the cholesterol (for 100g of protein powder): the wpc yields ~200mg, while the wpi yields <1mg.
Further, fat: ~6% vs <1%.
And finally, lactose: ~5% vs <1%.
Despite the low glycemic index of lactose, its insulin index is much higher. The fat in the wpc is so little that it won't slow down anything. Is there a significant difference in the amino acid profiles between the two? Nope. Both, the wpc and the wpi will spike insulin because they are rich in bcaa, and they will deliver fast. But they are meant to be anabolic anyway.
Now, both are being spray-dried. In the case of wpi, there is nothing to damage. In the case of wpc, both the cholesterol and the pufa are being damaged.
Sorry I could'nt resist. I do not per se advocate wpi over wpc; but for those who want to avoid damaged cholesterol/pufa: watch out for the cold processed, cross-flow micro-filtrated (termed CFM), hence undenatured, wpi, and not the ion-exchange wpi.
Finally, I will re-quote: "The pros of well made micro filtered isolates is a high protein content (90% or above), low lactose and fat levels, very low levels of undenatured proteins, and the retention of important subfractions in their natural ratios."

I don't have time to write a big response:
Your numbers suck hard, 200mg cholesterol per 100g serve? What on earth are you looking at? There is not that much in wpc. You must not read very well because I already said the problem was with ion exchanged whey. Given that the numbers you are using are accurate, I assume you're pulling them off the manufactures' site, your whey is still missing the beneficial fats. Once again, I would be more concerned about the oxidized cholesterol when I cook an egg.
You are worried about oxidized pufa in whey, really? Are you joking right now? Or do you always grasp at straws when your argument sucks? I'm curious as to what the rest of your diet is if this is such a big concern for you.
You are also forgetting that WPC is much cheaper. People like you are the reason supplement companies make a killing.

Re: Best whey protein?
- The pros of well made micro filtered isolates, is a high protein content (90% or above), low lactose and fat levels, very low levels of undenatured proteins, and the retention of important subfractions in their natural ratios. There really are no cons per se, unless the person wants the additional compounds (e.g., higher levels of growth factors, CLA, etc.) found in a well made concentrate.
Pro's and con's of concentrates:
First Generation whey protein powders contained as low as 30-40% protein and contained high amounts of lactose, fat, and undenatured proteins. They were considered a "concentrate" and were used mostly by the food industry for baking and other uses. Modern concentrates now contain as high as 70-80% plus protein with reduced amounts of lactose and fat. Many people are under the impression that a WPC is inherently inferior to an isolate.
This is simply untrue. Though WPCs will contain less protein on a gram for gram basis than an isolate, a high quality WPC contains all sorts of interesting compounds not found in the isolates. Good concentrates contain far higher levels of growth factors, such as IGF-1, TGF-ß1, and TGF-ß2.
They contain much higher levels of various phospho lipids, and various bio active lipids, such as Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), and they often contain higher levels of immunoglobulins and lactoferrin. Although data is lacking as to whether or not these compounds found in a good WPC will effect an athlete's muscle mass or performance, studies do suggest these compounds can improve immunity, intestinal health, and have many other effects that both athletes and "normal" people alike may find beneficial.
The drawbacks of WPCs are they have slightly less protein gram for gram than an isolate, and contain higher levels of fat (though these fats may in fact have beneficial effects) and higher levels of lactose. People should not be under the impression that a well made WPC is inherently inferior to a WPI and may in fact be a superior choice, depending on the goals of the person.
For example, some people don't tolerate lactose well or are trying to watch every gram of fat in their diet, etc. while other may want the potentially beneficial effects of the additional compounds found in a high quality concentrate.
The pro's and con's of isolates, and the micro filtered vs. ion exchange debate.
WPI's generally contain as much as 90-96% protein. Research has found that only whey proteins in their natural undenatured state (i.e. native conformational state) have biological activity. Processing whey protein to remove the lactose, fats, etc. without losing its biological activity takes special care by the manufacturer. Maintaining the natural undenatured state of the protein is essential to its anti-cancer and immune stimulating activity.
The protein must be processed under low temperature and/or low acid conditions as not to "denature" the protein and this becomes an even greater concern when making high grade isolates vs. concentrates. WPI's contain >90% protein contents with minimal lactose and virtually no fat. The advantage of a good WPI is that it contains more protein and less fat, lactose, and ash then concentrates on a gram for gram basis.
However, it should be clear to the reader by now that whey is far more complicated than simple protein content, and protein content per se is far from the most important factor when deciding which whey to use. For example, ion exchange has the highest protein levels of any isolate. Does that make it the best choice for an isolate? No, but many companies still push it as the holy grail of whey.
Ion exchange is made by taking a concentrate and running it through what is called an "ion exchange" column to get an "ion exchange whey isolate." Sounds pretty fancy but there are serious drawbacks to this method. As mentioned above, whey protein is a complex protein made up of many sub fraction peptides that have their own unique effects on health, immunity, etc. Some of these subfractions are only found in very small amounts.
In truth, the subfractions are really what ultimately makes whey the unique protein it is. Due to the nature of the ion exchange process, the most valuable and health promoting components are selectively depleted. Though the protein content is increased, many of the most important subfractions are lost or greatly reduced.
This makes ion exchange isolates a poor choice for a true third-generation whey protein supplement, though many companies still use it as their isolate source due to the higher protein content. Ion exchange isolates can be as high as 70% or greater of the subfraction Beta-lactoglobulin, (the least interesting and most allergenic subfraction found in whey) with a loss of the more biologically active and interesting subfractions.
So, the pros of an ion exchange whey is for those who simply want the very highest protein contents per gram, but the cons are that the higher protein content comes at cost; a loss of many of the subfractions unique to whey. Not an acceptable trade in my view considering the fact that the actual protein differences between a micro filtered type isolate is minimal from that of an ion exchange.
This segues us nicely into looking at the micro filtered whey isolates. With the array of more recent processing techniques used to make WPI's - or pull out various subfractions - such as Cross Flow Micro filtration (CFM) ultra filtration (UF), micro filtration (MF), reverse osmosis (RO), dynamic membrane filtration (DMF), ion exchange chromatography, (IEC), electro-ultrafiltration (EU), radial flow chromatography (RFC) and nano filtration (NF), manufacturers can now make some very high grade and unique whey proteins. Perhaps the most familiar micro filtered isolate to readers, would be CFM*.
Although the term "cross flow micro filtered" is something of a generic term for several similar ways of processing whey, The CFM processing method uses a low temperature micro filtration techniques that allows for the production of very high protein contents (>90%), the retention of important subfractions, extremely low fat and lactose contents, with virtually no undenatured proteins. CFM is a natural non-chemical process which employs high tech ceramic filters, unlike ion exchange, which involves the use of chemical regents such as hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. CFM whey isolate also contains high amounts of calcium and low amounts of sodium.
To sum this section up:
- The pros of concentrates is there may be higher levels of various -and potentially beneficial - growth factors, lipids, phospholipids, and other potentially interesting compounds. The cons are lower protein gram for gram than isolates, and higher levels of fat and lactose that some people may wish to avoid. Like all whey proteins, not all concentrates are created equal in their levels of the above mentioned compounds of interest.
- The pros of Ion exchange isolates is extremely low fat and lactose levels, with the highest protein levels (on a gram for gram basis). The cons -which outweigh the pros in my view - is the loss of important subfractions in favor of higher amounts of Beta-Lac.
- The pros of well made micro filtered isolates, is a high protein content (90% or above), low lactose and fat levels, very low levels of undenatured proteins, and the retention of important subfractions in their natural ratios. There really are no cons per se, unless the person wants the additional compounds (e.g., higher levels of growth factors, CLA, etc.) found in a well made concentrate.
* = CFM is a trade mark process (hence the annoying trade mark sign next to when ever I write CFM) of Glanbia Nutritionals, a large dairy company out of Ireland with offices in the US.

Re: Best whey protein?
Teacup - get some of this:
UNIPRO Perfect Protein, Vanilla
It was designed by Dr Michael Colgan. I took it and I grew hair back on it. I recovered my immunity on it. Do not be fooled by marketing. Once you try on etube o fthis you will knwo why it is better than 90% of stuff out there. WAY (no pun intened) better.

Re: Best whey protein?
The cholesterol figure is about right, you can look it up yourself. Take as an example ON's "Gold Standard", which is a blend of isolate and concentrate (it seems like all the big names currently only sell blends, no pure concentrates), with a high proportion of isolate (I assume close to 50%). Its cholesterol content is stated as 30mg per 32g serving.abc123 wrote:Your numbers suck hard, 200mg cholesterol per 100g serve?
I know that. Yet, when people comment on wpi, they hardly differentiate between the various (production) types (either they are poorly informed or by intention). As you know, not all isolates are made equally.You must not read very well because I already said the problem was with ion exchanged whey.
Well, with roughly 5% fat a serving of wpc won't give you meaningful amount of milk-fat anyway. You better go buy some fatty cheese for that purpose.Given that the numbers you are using are accurate, I assume you're pulling them off the manufactures' site, your whey is still missing the beneficial fats.
Currently I'm exploring an ultra low-fat (just a few walnuts and epa, dha), non animal products except whey (and epa, dha) type of diet. Ideally I would like to go only fruit, vegetables and whey (isolate) (and epa, dha as well). Unfortunately I seem to have some problems with the fruit part, most likely due to a low fructose/fructan tolerance or something else.I'm curious as to what the rest of your diet is if this is such a big concern for you.
This is a great point, and I did not forget. I am not happy with this fact either, but if I want to avoid what I think is bad about wpc, I have no choice but to use wpi.You are also forgetting that WPC is much cheaper. People like you are the reason supplement companies make a killing.
So long.

I have made my points so I'm not going to go over them again. Honestly, you have good rationale for your personal choice, I was more so annoyed you accused me of parroting mercola. Personally I think he has good intentions but is largely ignorant and a quack.
I personally would be more concerned about pufa in walnut than wpc.
Your fruit intolerance is interesting, I was somewhat intolerant (metabolically not digestively) to them till I kept pufa extremely low.
Good luck.

Re: Best whey protein?
I found this at a local coop, not only is it a grass-fed concentrate, its made from raw milk, no added sugars. I think I'm going to give this one a try!
http://www.metaorganics.com/Whole-Whey.html
Whole Whey™ - Whole Whey™ is an all natural raw whole whey protein concentrate from grass fed cows - naturally sweet and no added sugar.
Ingredients: Whole whey protein concentrate from grass fed cows' raw milk (pesticide free - no added hormones); Fibersol™ (water soluble fiber); Arabinogalactin extract; Organic sweet whey; Organic nonfat milk powder; Lecithin; MCT (medium chain triglycerides); Natural vanilla powder; Guar gum; and Lohan
Whole Whey™ - Whole Whey™ is a natural raw whole whey protein concentrate formula from grass fed cows with no added sugars.
Ingredients: Raw, whole whey protein concentrate, organic sweet whey, organic non-fat milk, natural vanilla and lohan.
Recommended Use: One scoop (20g), mix with water or milk until desired consistancy (shake or pudding). May be taken two to three times daily.
* Raw whey source
* Sugar-free, low glycemic & diabetic safe
* Grass fed cows source of whey - not grain fed which is an un-nautral diet for milk cows
* Cold processed – unheated to retain delicate naturally occurring enzymes and immune factors
* Concentrate (not an isolate) – isolates do not have the full value of aminos, minerals, vitamins and immunological factors as concentrates have.
* Free of rBGH, BSE, hormones, antibiotics and pesticides
* High in immuno-protection ingredients
* Best tasting whey shake available – easily digestible and assimilative
Packaging/Size: Seventeen servings in a 350 gram canister
Immuno-protective Profile: Metaorganics® Whole Whey™ contains high levels of immuno components, some of which are known for their tumor killing properties. Virtually all these whey fructions exist in human's milk, playing important roles in protecting the newborn from bacterial and viral pathogens and regulating a healthy cellular growth. Following are the most notable of our whey's immuno fructions:
* Lactoferrin - a multi-functional protein to which several physiological roles have been attributed. These include:
o Defense against microbial infections
o Regulation of iron transfer and metabolism
o Anti-inflammatory activity
o Regulation of cellular growth
o Protection against cancer development and metastasis
* Glycomacropeptides (GMP) - a casein derived peptide found in our whey protein. GMP is a by-product of cheese manufacturing. Its beneficial biological roles include:
o Stimulation of cholecystokin (CKK), a peptide hormone that regulates satiety, food intake and energy. The stimulation of CKK has been linked to early satiety from meals, reduced food intake and weight loss.
o Inhibition of platelet aggregation, a cardiovascular protective property
o Support of beneficial gut bacteria (bifido bacterium)
o GMP rich whey is also a good source of branch chain amino acids (BCAA), which have shown to help promote muscle buildup and prevent muscle wasting
* Alpha Lactalbumin - most abundant fruction in human milk, alpha lactalbumin plays a key biological role in the production of the sugar lactose, essential for growth and brain development of the newborn. Alpha lactalbumin is believed to possess antibacterial and anti-cancerous activities. A folding variant of alpha lactalbumin has shown to kill tumor and immature cells but spare mature healthy cells. Alpha lactalbumin is generally low in bovine milk products but appear in higher concentrations in grass fed cows' milk and whey.
* Beta Lactalbumin - most abundant protein in bovine milk, it is not an inherent part of human milk. Beta lactalbumin's main biological function is being a carrier of retinol (a pro-vitamin A) and a nutrient source for the amino acid cysteine.
* Lacto Peroxidase - a peroxidase enzyme found in raw milk, known for its antioxidant anti-microbial properties. Lacto peroxidase is fairly heat resistant and can survive low heat whey processing but is generally destroyed due to over-pasteurization or acid processing.
* Immunoglobulin G (IgG) - the most abundant immunoglobulin in the body, with a distinct biological role of providing protection against pathogens. IgG can bind to bacteria, viruses and fungi and protect the body (fetus and adult) against them by agglutination, immobilization and neutralization of their toxins. It also plays an important role in the antibody response system. There are 4 IgG subclasses (IgG 1, 2, 3, 4), IgG 1 being the most abundant. Each of the 4 IgGs has its unique biological role in the immune/antibody response to pathogens.
* Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) - an important precursor for the body's most powerful antioxidant glutathione, a peptide with immuno-enhancing, anti-cancerous activity.

* Concentrate (not an isolate) – isolates do not have the full value of aminos, minerals, vitamins and immunological factors as concentrates have.
* Free of rBGH, BSE, hormones, antibiotics and pesticides
* High in immuno-protection ingredients
* Best tasting whey shake available – easily digestible and assimilative
Packaging/Size: Seventeen servings in a 350 gram canister
Immuno-protective Profile: Metaorganics® Whole Whey™ contains high levels of immuno components, some of which are known for their tumor killing properties. Virtually all these whey fructions exist in human's milk, playing important roles in protecting the newborn from bacterial and viral pathogens and regulating a healthy cellular growth. Following are the most notable of our whey's immuno fructions:
* Lactoferrin - a multi-functional protein to which several physiological roles have been attributed. These include:
o Defense against microbial infections
o Regulation of iron transfer and metabolism
o Anti-inflammatory activity
o Regulation of cellular growth
o Protection against cancer development and metastasis
* Glycomacropeptides (GMP) - a casein derived peptide found in our whey protein. GMP is a by-product of cheese manufacturing. Its beneficial biological roles include:
o Stimulation of cholecystokin (CKK), a peptide hormone that regulates satiety, food intake and energy. The stimulation of CKK has been linked to early satiety from meals, reduced food intake and weight loss.
o Inhibition of platelet aggregation, a cardiovascular protective property
o Support of beneficial gut bacteria (bifido bacterium)
o GMP rich whey is also a good source of branch chain amino acids (BCAA), which have shown to help promote muscle buildup and prevent muscle wasting
* Alpha Lactalbumin - most abundant fruction in human milk, alpha lactalbumin plays a key biological role in the production of the sugar lactose, essential for growth and brain development of the newborn. Alpha lactalbumin is believed to possess antibacterial and anti-cancerous activities. A folding variant of alpha lactalbumin has shown to kill tumor and immature cells but spare mature healthy cells. Alpha lactalbumin is generally low in bovine milk products but appear in higher concentrations in grass fed cows' milk and whey.
* Beta Lactalbumin - most abundant protein in bovine milk, it is not an inherent part of human milk. Beta lactalbumin's main biological function is being a carrier of retinol (a pro-vitamin A) and a nutrient source for the amino acid cysteine.
* Lacto Peroxidase - a peroxidase enzyme found in raw milk, known for its antioxidant anti-microbial properties. Lacto peroxidase is fairly heat resistant and can survive low heat whey processing but is generally destroyed due to over-pasteurization or acid processing.
* Immunoglobulin G (IgG) - the most abundant immunoglobulin in the body, with a distinct biological role of providing protection against pathogens. IgG can bind to bacteria, viruses and fungi and protect the body (fetus and adult) against them by agglutination, immobilization and neutralization of their toxins. It also plays an important role in the antibody response system. There are 4 IgG subclasses (IgG 1, 2, 3, 4), IgG 1 being the most abundant. Each of the 4 IgGs has its unique biological role in the immune/antibody response to pathogens.
* Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) - an important precursor for the body's most powerful antioxidant glutathione, a peptide with immuno-enhancing, anti-cancerous activity.

Re: Best whey protein?
I use this stuff:
http://www.amazon.com/Foods-Whey-Protein-Isolate-100%25/dp/B0015AQL1Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307950339&sr=8-1
Tastes like nothing. Has pretty much nothing in it but protein. I don't care about taste anymore - I don't want a bunch of junk sweeteners and sugar and crap in my protein. If I want a shake with taste, I'll add the ingredients myself.
