Whey concentrate is less processed, contains 70–80% protein, and retains more naturally occurring growth factors. Isolate is the better choice if you have lactose sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much protein do I actually need per day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe research-backed range for active people is 0.7–1g of protein per pound of bodyweight per day. Most people eating a balanced diet get enough from food; protein powder is most useful for hitting targets around training or on busy days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I take whey if I am lactose intolerant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhey isolate is a good option for people with mild lactose intolerance, since most of the lactose is removed during processing. If you have a true dairy allergy, avoid all whey products and choose a plant-based alternative instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"lf-subnav\" style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShop All Supplements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/supplements\"\u003e← View All Supplements\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShop by Type\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pre-workout-supplements\"\u003ePre-Workout \u0026amp; Fat Burners\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plant-protein-supplements\"\u003ePlant Protein\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-protein-supplements\"\u003eAnimal Protein\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/adaptogens-stress-support\"\u003eAdaptogens \u0026amp; Stress Support\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cellular-health-longevity\"\u003eCellular Health \u0026amp; Longevity\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/collagen-supplements\"\u003eCollagen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/creatine-supplements\"\u003eCreatine\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/electrolyte-supplements\"\u003eElectrolytes \u0026amp; Hydration\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/greens-supplements\"\u003eGreens \u0026amp; Superfoods\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/recovery-supplements\"\u003eRecovery \u0026amp; Amino Acids\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nootropic-supplements\"\u003eNootropics \u0026amp; Brain Health\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sleep-supplements\"\u003eSleep \u0026amp; Recovery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vitamins-supplements\"\u003eVitamins \u0026amp; Foundational Health\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gut-health-supplements\"\u003eGut Health \u0026amp; Digestion\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/protein-bars-snacks\"\u003eBars \u0026amp; Snacks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.living.fit\/collections\/whey-protein-supplements.oembed","provider":"Living.Fit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
