Protein shake question
I finally found a shake i can stand from GNC, it's whey protein- banana flavor @ 20g/serving. When I went in to get more today the lady working there told me I should be using whey isolate @ 28g/serving. She said it is absorbed better. I held off and figured I would call the nutritionist Monday to ask her but remembered you guys would probably be just as helpful. The problem is they don't have the isolate in the banana flavor. Can someone tell me the difference. Thanks in advance

I can't give you any advice, but I will ask if the shake tastes like a cardboard box? I find protein shakes (at least any I ahve ever tasted) to taste and smell terrible. :\
I think most of us that use shakes are using a whey isolate or whey isolate blend.

I do NOT understand the science of all this...but I CAN read my labs. So based on those, I'm going to say that either a) not eveyone needs protein supplementation, or b) non "isolate" protein works just fine, or c) some combination of those things is true.
Meanwhile, the only protein I've used that my gut likes are the see-through stuff in the tubes or egg white protein.
