Whey protein undergoes various production processes, resulting in either whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, whey protein hydrolysate or clear whey protein isolate, but all whey proteins share a common trait — an exceptionally high protein content and biological value. Biological value serves as an indicator of how effectively a dietary protein can be assimilated into the body's own proteins, and high biological value (HBV) protein is characterised by a full amino acid profile including all essential amino acids (EAAs) and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs).
Clear whey protein isolate (Iso Clear Whey) has the highest protein content of all whey types, with the fat and lactose content almost completely removed (lactose free). It's also unique in its light, lemonade-like consistency, without the typical milkiness of a protein shake.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)
