What is the deference between whey proteins isolate vs. blend vs hydroganized? im sure there have been post on this in the past but could find anything

WPI is simply a type of whey. It digests/absorbs fairly quickly. A blend typically includes casein/egg proteins, which take longer to digest so will supply protein over a longer period of time to the body. "Hydrolyzed" simply means that it is already partially broken down proteins, so the absorption is even faster.

For general use, I think a blend probably makes the most sense. Around workouts you might want a WPI or hydrolyzed protein.

I think something people don't understand about the blend is that you get all of the benefits of a whey only product PLUS the added benefits of the slower absorbing proteins (casein and egg).

but after workouts, wouldn't you absorb less immediately because it's only about 60% whey. say a WPI and Nitrean is 24g of protein per scoop, you would only get 14.4g absorbed immediately vs a full 24g. so you potentially, you don't get as much out of that window of opportunity.

(Unless of course you have more cash to throw around and keep both types, or use two scoops of a blend after workout)

How many grams do you think you need immediately in order to help spike protein synthesis? How about an hour later? How about 2 hours later? Trust me when I tell you the blend is always best.

Listen, we could have sold a whey only product from the get-go and made a lot more money. We didn't because we knew/know what works best.

I don't know, that's why I asked the question, I hoped you (or someone) would have more detailed information because I'm interested in Nitrean, but you're not selling it to me by just saying it's the best. Every company says they're the best.

I will say that I think Nitrean is good and it seems logical that a blend of fast & slow absorbing protein is better than just fast, but I have no proof. It just makes sense to me. I don't know if Nitrean is the best b/c I haven't tried everything, but I'm happy with it right now.

I posted a pubmed awhile back that showed the benefits of a blend. I'm in a hurry or I'd search it out.

Ok, what sort of detail would you like?

Thanks!

Would making a whey protein shake with milk create a whey/casein blend?

Yes it would, but then you would be getting the sugar in milk plus spending more money than just getting Nitrean and mixing it in water.

Does anyone know of a cheaper blend then Nitrean thats still decent quality? I use to do Nitrean and had great success with it, but this was before the price went up.

Prices went up around the industry. The raw materials prices increased for a variety of reasons.

Most options like Biotest's Metabollic Drive cost more (although it has more casein). You could blend your own from somewhere like www.trueprotein.com , but that's not much cheaper if at all.
