Whey Blends: questions
Is a whey blend as good as an isolate?
A blend has a little less protein per scoop and a little more lactose than a pure isolate, and usually costs less. Choose isolate if you are sensitive to lactose.
How do I know how much isolate is in a blend?
Brands rarely state the exact ratio. The order of ingredients tells you which part is larger.
How do I check a blend is original?
Look for the importer or marketer sticker, the FSSAI licence number and any QR or scratch code the brand prints.
