Clear Whey

Data on Clear Whey:

Regular whey comes from whey concentrate, the least processed type which contains small amounts of lactose and fat, and clocks in at about 70-80% protein. Clear whey comes from whey isolate, which goes through a greater refining process, with lower levels of lactose and around 90% protein content.

Clear Whey has several disadvantages:

The high acidity can be detrimental to the stomach and blood pH balance. The cost is increased by additional production stages and the marketing hype surrounding this product. Expect to pay around €20 more per kg than classic whey.

The "fruity" taste must be reinforced by the use of synthetic compounds to mask the undesirable taste, in particular sweeteners, synthetic flavours, acidity correctors, acidifiers... All ingredients with no nutritional value and potentially harmful to long-term health.

Despite its many advertised selling points, Clear Whey is an ultra-processed product with no nutritional superiority, and sold at a much higher price.
