There are many protein powders on the market, and it can be confusing which would be the best one for you.

With varying dietary needs, it is great there are different options available especially if you have any food intolerances or allergies. Some protein sources also have additional health benefits so it’s worth looking at the different protein sources available.

Types of Protein Powders

You will often see protein powders described as isolates and concentrates.

Concentrates are produced by extracting the protein from a food, often by using heat. The protein is therefore concentrated but also still has some carbohydrate and fat still present

Isolates go through another additional process which removes more of the fat and carbohydrates, leaving more concentrated protein.

• Hydrolosate Protein Is another form of Protein powder you may see

This protein has gone through another process again. By using enzymes, acids and heat to the protein, the bonds in between the individual amino acids are broken down. By doing this, the protein is more easily absorbed into the body.

Whey Protein Powder

Whey protein is a protein derived from dairy milk. Whey is the liquid that separates out from the curds as part of the process, of making cheese.

Whey protein has a great protein to carb ratio and is ideal for keto. Whey protein also has a great amino acid profile making it a complete protein.  Whey Protein generally has low or no carbohydrates.

Whey protein is also often used by body builders to help build muscle and reduce body fat.

This is a great choice for keto but not if you suffer dairy allergies or want to follow a plant-based diet.

Pea Protein

Pea protein is a great option for keto as it has a great amino acid profile and provides good levels of absorbable protein. Pea Protein does have some carbohydrates, especially compared to whey, so the levels have to be taken into consideration when on keto. It certainly is the perfect option if you are vegan or suffer from allergies.

Collagen Protein Powder

Collagen is a major component of hair, skin, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue. It is a vital and abundant protein incorporated into many tissues in the body.

Collagen is an excellent source of protein for keto and has the additional benefits of supporting many of these body tissues.

This form of protein powder is not a suitable for vegans.
