Whey
Protein Concentrate Supplements Showdown - (Part 2)
Ok, so from part 1, you got an over view
of all 25 protein supplements
we compared. Let's take a look here specifically at
category 1 supplements - whey protein concentrate. There
are 11 supplements in this category.
Even though these whey supplements are
whey concentrates, but they really should be called a whey
protein blend, since most of them contain some amounts of
whey isolate as well. However, I can tell you that the whey
protein isolate in these supplements are minimal, as whey
isolate costs much more to produce than whey protein concentrate.
Which is why even though on the label it'll say something
like "contains whey concentrate, whey isolate",
but you never see them post exactly how much of each is
present... Not surprising to say the least.
How The Whey Protein Supplements Are
Compared
It's quit simple really - what do we really
care about? Price and quality of course, but probably price
slightly over quality. So, like our original
comparison, we'll go by price mostly, and of course,
I will give my personal opinion of what I think is the best
of the bunch.
The 11 whey protein concentrate powders
are listed according to CPGP (cost per gram of protein).
Why? Simple. Because all protein supplements are made rather
differently with different amounts of various ingredients
such as carbs, fat, proteins etc... I could easily ranked
them by CPS (cost per serving), but this would not show
the true value and cost of the protein supplement. Let's
take a look:

- What's The Best Buy?

CPS
- cost per serving
CPGP - cost per gram of protein
(You can view the entire Excel
file with more detailed info on each here.)
No surprise really... exactly
the same result as our last comparison. Except this time,
we've also included the Optimum 100% Whey 10lb bag as well!
And heck, this comes out a winner hands down - it has the
cheapest cost per serving and also lowest CPGP! In this
comparison, I've also included several very popular whey
concentrate powders such as Prolab's Pure Whey and HDT's
5 plus 1 Whey.
In the end, 100% Whey still
comes out on top as the winner. And y'know what? 100 whey
is also my personal favorite Whey to buy. Of course, I buy
other whey supplements as well, but 100 whey from Optimum
is 1st on my list, and is what I buy most often - and I
only buy the 10lb bags. ;-) It's pricing is fantastic, the
taste is delicious, and mixes extremely easy with water
or milk - It's the winner hands down. You can read my
rant on 100% whey a bit more here.
Coming in a close second
is well... 100% whey 5lb. No more needs to be said here.
As far as variety goes, EAS
MyoPro Whey is my other top choice for a whey concentrate
supplement. It comes in a very close third just behind 100
whey. It's cost is actually slightly lower than that of
100 whey 5lb tub, but in terms of CPGP its slightly higher.
Other than that, EAS MyoPro Whey tastes great as well, and
mixes very easily in both milk and water.
No more needs to be said
about the rest of the crew, you can take a look for yourself
and you'll see that nothing beats 100 whey from Optimum
Nutrition.
