How to Differentiate Between Whey Protein, Whey
Protein Isolate and Hydro Whey Protein

• Whey Concentrate It is formed when liquid whey
  undergoes microfiltration. It consists of 70-80
  protein and is cheaper compared to the other
  types.
• Whey Isolate It is formed when whey concentrate
  undergoes further processing. It has 90 protein.
  It is costlier than concentrate. It has
  relatively lesser amounts of fats and sugar in it
  than concentrate.
• Whey Hydrolysate When the isolate is processed,
  then whey hydrolysate is formed. This is the
  costliest type since it is highly processed and
  in pre-digested form. It is easy for the body to
  absorb.
• All the three are available as supplements in the
  market. Whey isolate or hydrolysate will have a
  higher protein content than concentrate. If you
  buy a product, always prefer them over
  concentrate. Do check for the other ingredients
  as well do they add fillers, and other
  additives? Then avoid the product.
