The bigger picture of whey. Whey protein isolates are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists. That's why they are the first ingredients you read on the label. By using this as our primary protein source, we're able to pack 24 grams of the purest, muscle building protein per serving, and a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose and other stuff that you can do without. There’s no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.

Typical amino acid profile (milligrams per serving): Essential amino acids; tryptophan 405, valine 1422, threonine 1654, isoleucine 1573, leucine 2531, lysine 2233, phenylalanine 748, methionine 492. Conditionally essential amino acids: Arginine 505, cystine 494, tyrosine 703, histidine 423, proline 1509, glutamine and precursors 4082.
