Whey protein concentrate is derived from whey protein. This concentrate contains a small amount of carbohydrates (as lactose) as well as fats in addition to the protein. This calorically dense material is very nutritious based on the synergy between components.
Whey protein concentrate is a complete protein – whey contains the full spectrum of all the essential amino acids. This is key for muscle function and growth. It is higher in leucine and the other branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s.)
Often in isolates the lactoferrin is removed, however the concentrate still contains the naturally occurring lactoferrin.
