The other day, I was asked a very simple question about our super premium protein formulation:

​

“Why does your Whey Protein contain both isolate and concentrate?”

​
I’ve always been amused at the constant debate surrounding “isolate vs. concentrate.”

​

We’ve always maintained that athletes and fitness enthusiasts should use a whey protein that contains and incorporates BOTH!

​

Here’s Why:

​

Whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein isolate (WPI) contain a variety of enzymes.

​

But, their enzyme profiles are different due to processing methods.

​

Here’s a breakdown of the enzymes commonly found in each:

​

Whey Protein Concentrate:

​

👉 Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) is less processed than WPI, meaning it retains more of its natural enzymes and bioactive compounds.

​

Common enzymes found in WPC include:

​

✅ Lactase – Helps break down lactose (milk sugar), which is present in WPC in small amounts.

​

✅ Proteases – Assists in the breakdown of protein into smaller peptides and amino acids for better digestion.

​

✅ Amylases – Aids in carbohydrate digestion, though in smaller amounts.

​

✅ Lipases – Helps break down fats, though whey is naturally low in fat.

​

✅ Lysozyme – This is an antimicrobial enzyme that may be present due to residual milk proteins.

​

✅ Lactoperoxidase – A natural antimicrobial enzyme that supports immune function.

​

​

Whey Protein Isolate:

​

👉 Whey Protein Isolate undergoes additional filtration, removing most of the fat and lactose, which leads to a reduction in natural enzymes. However, some enzymes may still be present in small amounts.

​

✅ Proteases – Often added during processing to hydrolyze proteins into smaller peptides for improved digestion.

​

✅ Lactase (if added) – Some WPI formulations include lactase to assist lactose-intolerant consumers, though natural lactase levels are lower due to processing.

​

✅ Peptidases – Help break down peptides into individual amino acids.

​

We are one of ONLY a few boutique manufacturers who provide this special formulation of Whey Protein with both WPC and WPI.

​

This is just one of many reasons why we always refer to our formulations as “super premium.”
