Walk into any supplement store and you'll see dozens of whey protein tubs promising different things \u2014 but most people only need to understand three things to choose well: type, protein-per-serving, and third-party testing.<\/p>\n
Whey concentrate is the most common and affordable option, typically 70-80% protein by weight with a little more fat and carbs. Whey isolate is more filtered, usually 90%+ protein, and works well if you're lactose-sensitive or want a leaner macro profile. Whey hydrolysate is pre-digested for faster absorption, mainly useful post-workout, and usually costs more.<\/p>\n
Look at the protein-per-serving on the label, not just the marketing claim on the front. A genuine 24-25g of protein per ~30g scoop is a good benchmark \u2014 anything noticeably lower for a similar serving size usually means more filler.<\/p>\n
Always buy from an authorised dealer. Grey-market and duplicate stock is a real problem in the supplement industry, and it's the single biggest risk to both safety and results. Every tub we sell at Crown Holder is sourced directly from authorised distributors.<\/p>\n
Finally, pick a flavour and mixability you'll actually enjoy \u2014 the best protein is the one you'll consistently take. If you're unsure, our team in-store is always happy to help you compare options for your specific goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
