Great all around/general use protein. (Most popular, by far).
Concentrate vs. Isolate
Milk derived (so may not be best for those with lactose intolerance).
You get what you pay for, but don’t over pay on fancy “hydrolyzed” or “platinum” powders. Most are over-kill for the average person.
Casein
Sometimes called “milk” protein, since it makes up most of the proteins in milk.
From the “curds” in milk.
Longer lasting–takes around 6 hours to completely breakdown.
Beef
Pretty solid protein.
Not very sustainable.
Creatine and Carnosine normally found in whole food beef is not added back in to the processed powder.
Egg
One of the “original” protein powder supplements.
Good choice for lean, cholesterol-free protein.
Plant Protein-based
Soy
One of the more popular types of protein,especially among females. (Don’t worry fellas, NO conclusive evidence has been found linking phytoestrogens [estrogen hormones from plants] to lowering testosterone/raising free estrogen in the body).
Good for baking. (The raw, unflavored power sucks it for making protein shakes).
Hemp
Includes all 8 essential amino acids organically.
Very environmentally friendly
Great for baking or making into shakes.
Unfortunately, the THC HAS been removed.
Rice/Pea/Bean
Rice protein is usually found mixed with bean or pea proteins to form a “complete” protein source.
Tastes a little earthy in our opinion. (Like kissing an unwashed hippie chick).
