Guest guest Posted September 9, 1999 Report Share Posted September 9, 1999 I received this from David Bozzi on Whey protein.............................................Harsha Whey isolate is made from whey concentrate. While whey concentrate does have positive effects on the immune system whey isolate is better. Whey isolate has a much higher percentage of dipeptides & tripeptides. I'll spare you the gobbledegook and simply state these are damn good for you for many reasons. Another factor is BV (biological value) this the amount of protein your body retains per gram absorbed. With whey concentrate scoring 104 & whey isolate scoring 159, gram for gram your body will be able to use 65% more isolate protein versuses the concentrate. (104/159=.65) Whey isolate also has almost no sugars, fat, or lactose in it. There are no chemicals in whey isolate. The ion-exchange process is a process of of using ions (charged particles) to isolate the protein. In lay man's terms this is very much like using a magnet to 'suck' out the protein. Whey isolate has been processed through an enzymatic bath which is nothing more than using enzymes to break down the molecular size of the proteins. This is how the high concentration of di & tri peptides are produced. (AKA low molecular weight peptides) They are highly usable by the body because they are very small & simple as opposed to very long chains of proteins which the body has a tough time breaking down & using. As with all enzymatic processes the enzyme is absent the final result. Point blank the good stuff costs a lot to make. I have found the best price for it at Peak Nutrition. They have a quality product. http://www.peaknutrition.com/aapi/bioenionwhey.html 1-800-600-2069 Their regular price is 19.95 for 2lbs with a buy two get one free offer.
