Now that you know the ins and outs of whey protein isolate, you might be wondering where you can get some.

There are a lot of different supplement companies out there that carry whey protein products, but I can understand if you want the most “bang for your buck”.

So let’s go over some of the highest rated whey protein isolate supplements out there.

Top 5 Whey Protein Isolate Supplements

Syntrax Nectar

Syntrax Nectar is one of the best tasting proteins out there, probably because they flavor it with fruit juices.

This supplement contains Promina, one of the highest quality whey protein isolates, and it contains no fat or carbohydrates!

You can get this supplement in sizes ranging from a single serving to 2 pounds and it comes in the following flavors:

This is one of the higher end whey protein isolate supplements, but if you want a great tasting, high quality protein then you won’t mind the price so much.

AST VP2 Whey Isolate

AST VP2 contains 100% Hydrolyzed Oligopeptide Isolated Whey Peptide Fractions, yeah that’s a mouthful!

This is another high end whey protein supplement, but it’s a very high quality version!

It’ll cost a little more, but if you can afford it then buy this for its efficiency.

Its popularity might be due to the blend of proteins you get with this supplement.

So if you were ever unsure about which type of whey protein to get, don’t worry this supplement has them all; from low end to high end.
