Ever wonder what was a better protein source, whey or soy? Well, check this table out. I think this pretty much settles the whey vs. soy debate. I’ve always known that whey protein is the best form of protein available to us.

Soy Vs. Whey Protein Protein Type
Criteria Soy Protein Whey Protein Better Protein
Biological Value (BV) 74 104 Whey Protein
Net Protein Utilization (NPU) 61 92 Whey Protein
Protein Efficiency Ration (PER) 2.2 3.2 Whey Protein
Amino Acid Score (AAS) 0.99 1.14 Whey Protein
Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) 1.00 1.00 Push
Protein Digestibility Percentage (PD%) 95% 99% Whey Protein
Glutamine per 100g of Protein 10.5g 4.9g Soy Protein
mg EAA per g of Protein 378mg 480mg Whey Protein
Arginine per 100g of Protein 7.6g 2.9g Soy Protein

As you can see whey protein wins on almost every count. The most important points you need to note from that table are biological value (BV) and amino acid score. These are the 2 most important factors that makes whey protein the ultimate product for lean muscle growth.

This is a pretty common question when people are shopping for protein supplements. The answer is simple…

Whey protein isolate is a much more pure form of whey protein. When I say pure, I mean it contains more protein and less fats and lactose.

Whey protein isolate typically is about 90-98% protein, whereas whey protein concentrate is about 75-80%. Whey protein blends are also very common in the market. They are usually about 50/50 isolate and concentrate. This often brings the price right down.

What type of protein you choose depends on your goals and budget. For slimming down, whey protein isolate would be recommended. For building muscle mass, you could choose any form of protein becuase it’s the total amount of protein you’re getting that counts.
