Edubily Whey Protein Concentrate as a natural whey form

Whey protein comes in different forms, and each has its own properties. The whey protein concentrate from the Edubily brand is the most original form of whey protein. Compared with whey isolate or whey hydrolysate, it is less heavily processed. As a result, in addition to protein, it also contains natural amounts of fat and carbohydrates as well as lactose. At the same time, whey concentrate is usually more affordable and offers a balanced protein source for everyday use.

With a protein content of around 77%, the whey protein concentrate provides a high-quality protein source. Alongside casein, whey is one of the two main components of milk protein and is produced as a by-product during cheese making. Thanks to its high content of essential amino acids, whey protein has a high biological value. 

The three whey forms compared

Whey protein is generally available in three different forms. 

• Whey concentrate: The simplest form of whey protein. It has a high protein content, but also more fat and carbohydrates, as it is filtered less. Whey concentrate is more affordable, but it also contains lactose.
• Whey isolate: Additional filtration removes fat and carbohydrates almost completely. This increases the protein content to approx. 90% and generally makes whey isolate easy to digest, almost completely lactose-free and lower in calories.
• Whey hydrolysate: An enzymatically broken-down form of whey in which the protein structures are split into smaller peptides. This further speeds up absorption in the body. However, whey hydrolysate contains lactose and often has a bitter taste (or some aftertaste if this is masked by added flavoring).

The whey protein concentrate from the Edubily brand offers a balanced and natural form of whey protein. If you are looking for a whey that is as unprocessed as possible with a natural nutrient profile, the concentrate is a suitable option. You can also find whey isolate and whey hydrolysate in our shop.

Whey protein from milk from cows with pasture access

The origin of the milk plays an important role in the quality of the protein. The whey protein concentrate from the Edubily brand is made from milk from cows with pasture access. The whey protein concentrate used provides around 77% protein and is obtained gently to preserve the natural protein fractions as much as possible.

The formula focuses on a clean composition without unnecessary additives. The flavored varieties are sweetened exclusively with steviol glycosides from the stevia plant and contain no artificial sweeteners. The raw materials are regularly analyzed by independent laboratories and checked for heavy metals and antibiotics.

Very good solubility for shakes around your training

A protein powder should be quick and easy to prepare. The whey protein concentrate from the Edubily brand dissolves well in water or milk and makes a creamy shake. In addition to classic protein shakes, the whey protein powder can also be stirred into smoothies, porridge or other recipes, supporting a high-protein diet.

Frequently asked questions & answers from Edubily

How do whey protein isolate and concentrate differ?

Isolate is filtered more heavily and is therefore purer, while concentrate is more natural and more affordable. Whey protein isolate contains more protein (over 90%) and less lactose and fat than whey protein concentrate, which contains around 70 to 80% protein.

What is the difference between protein powder and whey protein?

Protein powder is a general term for different protein sources such as whey, casein, egg or plant-based proteins. Whey protein is a protein source obtained from whey.

Does whey protein contain all essential amino acids?

Yes, whey protein is a complete protein and contains all nine essential amino acids.

Can whey protein concentrates be consumed if you are lactose intolerant?

It depends on the severity of the lactose intolerance. Whey protein concentrate contains lactose and can cause digestive problems. Therefore, whey protein isolate, or another protein source, is often the better choice if you have an intolerance.

Is the product gluten-free?

The product does not contain any gluten-containing ingredient. However, due to the manufacturing process, contamination with minimal traces cannot be completely ruled out. For this reason, the product is unfortunately not suitable for people with celiac disease.

Who is the whey concentrate not suitable for?

The whey concentrate is not suitable for people with an allergy to whey protein.

Can I take the whey concentrate during pregnancy?

Yes, the powder has been pasteurized. In general, the whey is also heated to prevent contamination and kill any possible germs.
