Whey protein isolate is a dietary supplement and food ingredient created by separating components from milk. Whey isolates have had their base component (water) removed and are generally considered almost lactose and cholesterol free.

Whey protein isolate is whey in its purest form. Isolates are processed to remove fat and lactose. Whey protein isolate (WPI) is the holy grail of protein powders, being the purest form of whey protein available. Whey protein isolate has the highest amount of pure protein, typically containing around 85% to 98% pure protein. Not only is whey protein isolate the purest form of protein, but it also has the highest biological value (BV). Biological value is a measure of how fast your body can use a fuel source.

Whey protein isolate powders have the most amount of protein per serving and literally zero carbs, lactose and fat.
