Whey protein vs casein protein
Which one is better for health?
I’m lactose intolerant, so both are horrible for me. I’ve also read negative things about both, even if you have no lactose issues. I also stay away from soy. I stick to egg white or rice protein. Sun Warrior makes an awesome protein mix that uses hemp, cranberry, and pea protein.
Whey in myopinion is better, casein digest slower lots of gas and bloat.
There is no best! There is a time to use both proteins, for example Whey should be used about 1hr to 30min before a workout and then again directly after a workout as it digests quickly. Casein should be used right before bed since it will slowly digest over night or when you know you can’t get a meal in. It’s all about time with these, do you need it in your system fast(such as right after a hard workout) or would you like to feed your body over a longer period.
I assume you are going to start gym workout.
Around workout you want to use hydrolyzed whey isolate because it’s been proven to be a better when you looking for strength and muscle grow.
Last thing you need to check out is are they Cold Filtered, Micro Filtered, Ultra Filtered, Ion Exchange, because it has nothing to do with quality of protein.. it’s just process how they filter lactose and fat away..
Remember you need to eat 2,5-3h before workout to charge your glycogen stores. I took chicken and rise and a couple shake of gainer with extra carbs.. Thats about 1200calorie. And if you want u cant take EAA with meals and with your workout drinks.
And if you are in diet you don’t have to use carbs at all when taking whey protein because whey protein itself raise insulin level.
Sry i pretty much answer questions you didnt ask ![]()
Eat, train, eat, sleep. Repeat.
Quality food, God diet, intense training, and lots of sleep. Don’t get lost in all the tiny details. Some of the best body builders never had any of the supplements we use today.

And they used doping. It all depens what is he’s goal, if it’s just keep good care of health i agree with you but if he want to grow big in decent time then he must think even those tiny details.
I like to think it’s like small rivers, first they are small but some point they unite to one big river.. When you change enough small things they become huge.
How much difference in growth would you see between two twins. Both train the same but one uses cold filtered whey and one uses micro filtered. After a year how much difference ifs there? I’m willing to bet there would be no noticeable difference.
Like i said how it has filtered is last thing what we want to think about.
What is whey protein? It’s scraped off from cheese because it’s “by-product(?)” after casein goes in cheese. After that lactos and fat have to filter out from whey and that process we call “cold filtered” “micro filtered” etc etc.
The way how fat and lactos has remove from whey doesn’t matter.
Americans start to use those names: Cold Filtered, Micro Filtered, Ultra Filtered, Ion Exchange etc etc. It was just good marketing and it still is because people wonder should i buy cold or micro filtered whey.
Only thing what matters is it hydrolyzed whey. Hydrolyzed whey pass your gastrointestinal faster and Protein synthesis will start faster. Good for taking after training.
You can check if it’s isolate or not, it tell’s number of protein percentage what it contains.
I took whey protein after every workout and then began to incorporate casein before bed and results were quick. Casein is underrated. I would take both but then again idk your budget. With a good diet putting on muscle with these two will be fast.
