For daily muscle support and budget, usually choose Whey 80 (concentrate). Isolate makes sense if you want more protein per serving, less lactose/fat, or are on a strict diet.
What is Whey 80 and what is isolate?
Whey concentrate (~70–80% protein) is a filtered whey protein that contains slightly more lactose, fat, and bioactive fractions. Whey isolate (~90%+ protein) is further purified — less carbs and fat, usually less lactose, higher price.
| Property | Whey 80 (concentrate) | Isolate |
|---|---|---|
| Protein / 100 g | ~70–80g | ~85–95g |
| Lactose | More | Less |
| Price | Cheaper | More expensive |
| Flavor/creaminess | Often better | Could be "drier" |
| Best use | Daily shake | Diet, lactose sensitivity |
When to choose Whey 80?
If you train regularly, tolerate milk, and want maximum grams of protein per euro — Whey 80 is the default. ICONFIT Whey Protein 80 and OstroVit 100% Whey are popular choices at {STORE}. Mix with water or milk; 20–40 g of protein per serving will cover most post-workout needs.
When to choose isolate?
Choose isolate if:
- lactose causes digestive problems (not always 100% lactose-free — read the label);
- you are in a calorie deficit and want minimal fat/carbohydrates;
- you prefer "clear whey" / juicier forms (often based on isolate).
Does isolate build more muscle?
No, if your daily protein and calorie intake are the same. Muscle growth is driven by total dietary protein + training, not the “isolate vs 80” label on the can. Isolate is a convenience and digestion option, not a miracle cure.
Plant protein vs. whey
Plant-based protein is suitable for vegans. A high-quality pea+rice blend provides a good amino profile, but whey is often preferred by mixed eaters due to its more affordable density and taste.

Frequently asked questions
Is Whey 80 suitable for evening wear?
Yes. The benefit of “slow” casein at night is small if daytime protein is okay. Whey works anytime.
How many times a day?
As many times as you need to fill protein gaps — usually 1–2 shakes + regular food.
Can women take whey?
Yes. Protein powder is not a “male hormone.” The dosage depends on your body weight and goal.
