Chocolate is one of the most popular protein flavours, and the powder behind it comes in two forms: whey concentrate and whey isolate. The difference between them is simply how far the whey has been filtered.
What the Extra Filtering Takes Out
Biotic’s Gain Chocolate Whey Protein Isolate is filtered further than a standard concentrate. A serving contains 25g of protein and 5.5g of BCAAs, and carries less lactose and less fat than a concentrate of the same weight. That is a description of what is in the tub, not a statement about what it will do for you.
Rich Taste, Different Macros
The cocoa flavour is not what the filtering changes — the chocolate taste is the same either way. What changes is the composition of the powder around it, which is why the macro figures on the two labels read differently.
The Wording We Are Allowed to Use
In Great Britain the authorised wording for protein is that protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass, protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass, and protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. There is no authorised claim for whey specifically, so beyond that wording we describe what is in the tub rather than what it does.
