So I was at Popeye's today...
Picking up some more whey, and I came across a new type of whey that ON has. I've always used the 100% Gold Standard or whatever, but this new one is called Platinum Hydrowhey. I asked the guy at the front what the difference was, and it was clear he was talking out of his ass when he said basically there's casein in it, but right beside the Platinum was ON's casein protein. He told me the Platinum is for before bed, but I figured it would be strange for ON to make 2 types of before bed wheys. So does anyone know what this Platinum Hydrowhey is and what the difference is between the regular Gold Standard stuff?

Before you trash talk people who work at Popeyes, just remember they work there for a reason and you don't.

Thanks liquidboi. I didn't check the price, but I just assumed they were the same price. So its essentially more "stuff" that's not whey?

I wasn't trashing the guy. I'm just saying he couldn've easily just have said he didn't know instead of making some bs up about a product they sell I was asking information about. Or it could be that I have a university education and don't want to work at Popeye's. If the internet is hurting your feelings, you should probably stop using it.

because they don't have an education and can't get a job making more than 15/hour??

:werd: I'd rather have a sales rep say to me straight up that they don't know the difference instead of feed me some BS. It's not like I expect them to know about every single damn supplement in the store.

No concentrate and isolate are just different grades of protein extracts.
Isolate is more pure (~90-95%) while concentrate is a bit less (~75-85%.) That is why the hydrowhey has 30g/serving while normal ON GOLD'S isolate/concentrate/peptide combo has a bit less.
They say the isolate's hydrolyzed, so you can absorb it faster (which is BS imo...it's a marketing scheme and no one can tell the difference.)
People prefer isolate because #1 they like having the "best" protein that is theoretically the most "biologically valuble" aka it can be absorbed the easiest. #2because some people have digestion issues and isolate seems to be better for them.
However, the prices between normal GOLD and PLATINUM ON is not worth it. Even if you factor in bioavaliability, and the higher % extract...you'll get more protein in you/$ with concentrate probably.
EDIT: Just looked it up and it looks like platinum's serving size is larger than gold's...so that may be one of the big reasons why the protein/serving is higher.
