Complete amino acid profile, mixes properly with water or milk, and priced to be the tub you actually keep buying. 5lb in four flavours, in stock at EatMe Supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Three Whey Sources?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach form of whey is processed differently and behaves differently once you drink it. Hydrolysate is partially broken down before it reaches you, so it absorbs fastest. Isolate is filtered to a higher protein percentage with less fat and lactose. Concentrate is the least processed, retains more of the naturally occurring milk fractions, and costs the least. Blending all three gives you a staggered amino release and a better texture than isolate alone, at a price a pure isolate can't match. It's a value decision as much as a formulation one, and an honest one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You're Getting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree whey sources\u003c\/strong\u003e — concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate, covering fast and sustained amino delivery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete amino acid profile\u003c\/strong\u003e — all nine essential aminos, naturally rich in BCAAs and EAAs from the whey itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast-digesting\u003c\/strong\u003e — suits the post-training slot, though total daily protein matters far more than timing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixes easily\u003c\/strong\u003e — water or milk, shaker or spoon.

For everyone else, a blend delivers the same amino acids for less money, with a fuller texture most people prefer. Unless you have a specific reason to buy an isolate, a blend is the better default.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDirections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix 1 scoop with 200–300ml of cold water or milk. Use post-workout, between meals, or any time you need to top up daily protein. Two serves a day is common if you're training seriously and struggling to hit your target from food alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavours\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTriple Chocolate, Vanilla Ice Cream, Cookies and Cream, and Strawberry Cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much protein do I need each day?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 1.6–2.2g per kilogram of bodyweight is the commonly cited range for people training with resistance. Hitting that total consistently is what drives results — the timing questions people worry about are a rounding error by comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it worth paying more for a pure isolate?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly for a specific reason: a hard cut where the fat and carb grams matter, or lactose sensitivity. Otherwise you're paying a premium for filtration you don't need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it if I'm lactose intolerant?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend contains concentrate, which retains more lactose than an isolate does. If dairy is a problem for you, an isolate or a dairy-free protein is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWater or milk?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater keeps calories down and gives a thinner shake. Milk adds roughly 100–150 calories along with extra protein and a much better texture. Which suits you depends entirely on whether you're gaining or losing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I bake with it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and a blend handles baking better than an isolate because the extra fat keeps things moist. Reduce the flour rather than simply adding protein on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAllergen Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains milk and soy ingredients.
