No amino spiking, no filler proteins, no banned substances. 840g in five flavours, in stock at EatMe Supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Isolate Instead of Concentrate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhey concentrate is typically 70–80% protein by weight, with the remainder made up of fat, carbohydrate and lactose. Isolate is filtered further, reaching 90% or higher, which strips out most of the fat and lactose along the way. Two things follow: your macros come in cleaner for the same protein hit, and it sits far better with people who find standard whey heavy or bloating. Hydrolysate takes it a step further again — partially broken down before you drink it, so the aminos hit sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's In Every Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e27g protein\u003c\/strong\u003e — from whey isolate and hydrolysate, with no concentrate padding out the number.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6g naturally occurring BCAAs\u003c\/strong\u003e — from the protein itself rather than sprinkled in afterwards to inflate the amino profile on the label.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 billion CFU DE111 probiotic\u003c\/strong\u003e — a shelf-stable strain included per scoop.

Beyond that it's simply a convenient way to hit a daily protein target that's hard to reach from food alone, particularly during a cut when calories are tight and every macro has to earn its place. Between meals, first thing, or before bed all work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDirections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix 1 scoop with 200–300ml of cold water or milk. Water keeps the macros lean and the texture light; milk makes it thicker and adds calories, which is a plus if you're gaining and a problem if you're not. Use post-workout, between meals, or any time you need protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavours\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVanilla Milkshake, Triple Milk Chocolate, Ice Cream Cookie, Strawberry Milkshake and Banana Cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it suitable if I'm lactose intolerant?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filtration that produces isolate removes most of the lactose, so many people who react to whey concentrate tolerate isolate without trouble. It isn't lactose-free, though, and it isn't dairy-free — if your intolerance is severe, check the label and treat it cautiously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat does the probiotic actually do?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDE111 is a shelf-stable spore-forming strain, which means it survives sitting in a tub at room temperature — the reason most probiotics don't work in a protein powder. It's there to support digestive comfort, which pairs sensibly with a protein aimed at people who find standard whey heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs isolate worth the extra cost over concentrate?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on why you're buying. If you're chasing the lowest cost per gram of protein and digest whey fine, concentrate is better value and always will be. Isolate earns its price if you're cutting and need the macros clean, or if concentrate genuinely doesn't agree with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I bake with it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can, but isolate dries out baked goods more than concentrate does because there's less fat in it. Reduce the amount you substitute and add moisture back in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAllergen Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains milk and soy ingredients.
