WHAT IS WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE (WPI)?

Whey protein isolate (WPI) is a premium byproduct of cheese manufacturing, derived from the liquid leftover after milk has been processed. With around 90% protein content, it boasts almost zero carbohydrates and fats, making it an exceptional protein source. Additionally, WPI is nearly lactose-free (99%), which is why many individuals with lactose sensitivities prefer this option. Its complete amino acid profile positions whey protein isolate as one of the best protein sources available globally.

 

BENEFITS OF USING WHEY ISOLATE (WPI)

VPA® Whey Isolate undergoes an ultra-filtration process that preserves its natural form, resulting in a high protein percentage with minimal fats and carbohydrates.

Thanks to our rigorous lab testing, you can trust that you are receiving a complete amino acid profile to help you reach your full potential.

Due to its high protein percentage, low fat and carbohydrate content, our whey protein shake is highly effective as a muscle recovery option after intensive exercise. Whether you're looking to enhance your performance or simply maintain your fitness levels, incorporating whey protein isolate into your routine can make a significant difference.


HOW TO USE WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE POWDER (WPI)

REVIEWS

ABOUT WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE (WPI) PROTEIN POWDER

What is Whey Protein Isolate?

Whey Protein Isolate or WPI is a very fast-digesting dairy protein that consists of at least 90% protein, with almost no carbohydrates or fats. WPI is also 99% lactose-free, making it suitable for most people who are lactose intolerant.

Whey protein isolate vs whey protein concentrate

The nutritional and pricing differences between WPI and WPC results from a secondary step in the manufacturing process. During production, WPC is microfiltered once, while WPI is filtered a second time. This second filtration removes more fat and carbohydrates, producing a more refined protein. Consequently, WPI is a purer whey protein than WPC.

WPI’s lower lactose content makes it the ideal protein powder for individuals with lactose intolerance, as most can consume it without experiencing digestive symptoms. WPC contains more milk fat than WPI with around 4 – 7% fat. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as this fat can contain beneficial nutrients not found in WPI. WPI is also quicker to digest than WPC, making it a preferred choice for post-work recovery.

Whey protein isolate benefits

Whey protein contains all 9 essential amino acids, including an extra high dose of the amino acid leucine, which has been shown to effectively stimulate muscle protein synthesis and help build more muscle mass. Since WPI is the purest protein source available for consumption, it helps maintain and build muscle tissue and prevent catabolic activity during high-intensity resistance training sessions.

Do whey protein supplements work?

Incorporating whey protein supplements into your diet is an excellent way to meet your protein needs, particularly for athletes and bodybuilders. Taking whey protein before or after exercise can improve muscle strength, lean-muscle growth, and immune function.

WPI and muscle growth

Clean whey protein isolates should contain no fillers and have a protein content of around 90%. VPA® whey protein isolate stands out as one of the cleanest options available, featuring only four ingredients: whey protein isolate, flavour, sucralose, and natural colour.

Each 30g serving of VPA® whey protein powder contains 27g of protein, making it 90% protein. This commitment to purity makes VPA® WPI an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality protein supplement without unnecessary additives.

USING whey protein isolate for muscle gain?

Whey protein isolate is the ideal protein for muscle gain due to its high leucine content and rapid digestion. Among all protein sources, WPI has been shown to promote the greatest rate of muscle growth in response to training.

What is the best protein for weight loss?

The best protein for weight and fat loss is VPA® whey protein isolate. With its low calorie, fat, and carbohydrate content, it’s the ideal choice for anyone looking to shed pounds while maintaining muscle mass.

USING whey protein isolate on a keto diet?

VPA® Whey protein isolate is suitable if you are following a keto diet. VPA® WPI has only 0.8g of carbohydrate and 0.2g of fat per serving making it a keto protein.

What should I mix WPI powder with?

Whey protein powder can be easily mixed with water, dairy milk, or milk alternatives. If you're dieting or tracking macros, please note that our nutrition panels do not include the nutritional content of the liquid you choose to mix with your protein. You can adjust the amount of liquid based on your personal preference—whether you like it thicker or more diluted. We also provide mixing guidelines on our packaging.

WHEY PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS SAFETY

The amount of whey protein you need daily depends on your activity levels and goals. A highly active individual, an athlete or bodybuilder's protein requirements would significantly differ from someone who has a more laidback sedentary lifestyle.

Athletes can safely eat more protein than people who are not physically active. In fact, an athlete who does not get enough protein will sustain some muscle damage and take longer to recover. Whey protein isolate does not cause any health issues in those who are otherwise healthy.

Can I use whey protein isolate when pregnant or breastfeeding?

Please ask a medical professional such as a GP or dietitian before using protein powder when pregnant or breastfeeding. While there is nothing inherently unsafe in VPA® protein powder for pregnant or breastfeeding women, it’s always best to seek personalised advice. Please click here for more information.

Is whey protein vegan?

Whey protein is not vegan-friendly because it is a dairy product. However, whey protein isolate is suitable for vegetarians. Individuals with milk allergies or lactose intolerance should avoid WPI protein, or use it with caution.

When is the best time to take a protein shake?

The best time to take protein shakes depends on your health and fitness goals, whether you're aiming to lose weight, build muscle, or preserve muscle mass.

If weight loss is your goal, consuming a protein-rich snack between meals can help curb your appetite by reducing levels of the hunger hormone, leading to fewer calories consumed later in the day.

For those focused on building muscle and strength, it's important to consume more protein than your body naturally breaks down during intensive training. In this case, taking protein shakes after your workout is a safe and effective strategy to support muscle recovery and growth.

HOW Can I trust any supplement company selling whey protein?

The supplement industry can be challenging to navigate due to its lack of regulation, making it difficult to trust companies that claim to offer high-quality whey protein. To ensure you're getting exactly what you pay for, look for companies that publish third-party lab test results on their websites.

If a company does not provide this information, we strongly recommend avoiding their products. If they do share these results, you can feel confident in your purchase.

For VPA®, you can find our third-party lab results by checking the “Lab Results” tab on our website.

Is Whey Isolate as good as Whey Protein?

Who should not take whey isolate?

Whey protein isolate may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some groups of individuals who should avoid or use caution when considering whey protein isolate:

  • Individuals with milk allergies

  • Individuals with pre-existing kidney or liver conditions
