What is the difference between whey protein isolate and concentrate in this product, and why are both included?

VAST Vanilla Ice Cream combines whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate. Whey protein isolate undergoes more thorough filtration, which typically results in a higher protein percentage per serving and lower levels of fat and lactose. Whey protein concentrate, while containing slightly less protein by weight, retains more of the natural milk components, which often contribute to a creamier texture and more rounded flavour. By blending both, the product aims to balance the fast-absorbing, leaner qualities of isolate with the richer sensory experience and broader nutrient matrix of concentrate. For users, this can mean a shake that is both efficient for muscle maintenance and enjoyable to drink. It’s a practical choice for those who want a straightforward protein boost around training or between meals without the dryness some pure isolates can have. As with any supplement, it is intended to be part of a varied diet and not a replacement for whole food sources.
