Looking
for the best whey protein powder for building muscle is pretty
subjective because the word "best" differs based on
opinion, taste or feeling but for me, the best whey powder would
be a protein which meets some or all of these criterias:
Doesn't
have artificial sweeteners and flavors. Artificial sweeteners
like sucralose and acesulfame potassium are the most common fake
sugars in supplements nowadays and are 600 times and 200 times
sweeter than table sugar respectively. These sweeteners are questionable
for health as to their long term usage and the majority of people
who consume them are prone to side effects like migraines, headaches
and dizziness. If you want to bypass those, you have to look for
a natural whey protein. A natural whey protein doesn't have any
sweetener at all or use natural sweeteners like stevia, luo han
guo or cane sugar.
Doesn't
have garbage fillers, instead they should be a pure whey protein
isolate or whey protein concentrate or a mixture of both. More
and more ingredients in a supplement doesn't mean you're getting
the best, on the contrary, a lot of these are just additives.
The natural whey protein doesn't have a lot of ingredients as
its main focus is on health, for example if you find only whey
protein isolates or concentrates in a product, you will know it's
natural and is a quality supplement.
Has
been cold pressed, hence they have not been denatured as no heating
was done to the whey protein during the manufacturing process.
If you see something like cross-flow microfiltered(CFM) whey protein
on a supplement, you can vouch it's of high-quality. This type
of protein has been cold processed and ultrafiltered using acid
and bleach-free processing environment.
Below
is my list of the 29 best whey protein powder for building muscle.
There is a mixture of both whey protein isolate and whey protein
concentrate or a whey concentrate/isolate blend and all of them
are 100% natural.
