What's the difference between WPI and WPC?Updated a year ago

Whey protein isolate has a higher protein count than your standard whey protein. An isolate generally contains 90% or more, while a typical concentrate typically has 70-80% (Gunnars, K. 2018). The process that removes much of the lactose from the powder also helps to concentrate it to some extent.

Whey isolate generally has a lower calorie, carbohydrate and fat count, making it ideal for mixing with water for a low-calorie & high-protein drink (Evans, M. 2022).
