Whey Protein Hydrolysed: buying guide

Hydrolysed whey vs whey isolate

Whey is a milk protein that mixes easily and is digested quickly. The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) notes that whey hydrolysates and isolates are the most researched proteins for resistance training, partly because of how they are digested, and that more of their essential amino acids reach the bloodstream than with soy protein.

Hydrolysing whey is one more processing step on top of making an isolate. It is easy to assume that means faster results, but the ISSN position stand points out that differences in how quickly proteins are absorbed go beyond the degree of hydrolysis alone, and it does not single out hydrolysed whey as building more muscle than other high-quality whey. For most people, getting enough total protein each day matters far more than the type.

Many popular products are blends. Rule 1's R1 Protein, for example, combines whey isolate with partially hydrolysed whey isolate. For a deeper look at isolates versus blends, read whey protein isolate vs whey blend.

Who it suits

  • People who want an isolate-based protein that is low in fat. R1 Protein, for example, lists 1 g of fat or less per serve.
  • Lifters who like a quick-mixing shake straight after training.
  • Anyone who prefers the taste or texture of a particular hydrolysed product. A standard isolate is an equally reasonable choice if you prefer it.

Hydrolysed whey is still made from milk, so it is not suitable if you have a milk allergy. If you avoid dairy, look at plant-based protein instead.

How to compare on the label

  • Protein per serve and per 100 g. Per 100 g is the fairest comparison, because scoop sizes differ.
  • Protein sources. Check whether hydrolysed whey is the main protein or one part of a blend.
  • Carbs, fat and sugar. Compare these on the panel, especially if you track your intake.
  • Leucine or BCAA content. Useful when comparing serve sizes.
  • Testing. If you compete in a drug-tested sport, choose a batch-tested product (for example HASTA, Informed Sport or Informed Choice) and check with your sport first.

Whey Protein Hydrolysed: questions and answers

Is hydrolysed whey better than whey isolate?
Not in any way that clearly matters for results. The ISSN notes that whey hydrolysates and isolates are both among the most researched proteins for resistance training, and that absorption differences go beyond the degree of hydrolysis alone. It does not identify hydrolysed whey as building more muscle. Choose based on taste, mixability, how it sits with you and price per serve.
Is hydrolysed whey protein lactose free?
Not necessarily. Hydrolysed whey is made from milk, so it is a milk protein and some products may still contain small amounts of lactose. Labels differ, so check the nutrition panel and allergen statement. Whey is not suitable for people with a milk allergy. If you need to avoid dairy completely, look at plant-based or beef protein powders instead.
How much protein do I need per day?
The International Society of Sports Nutrition suggests 1.4 to 2.0 g of protein per kg of body weight a day for most people who exercise regularly. For a 70 kg person that is about 98 to 140 g a day, from food and supplements combined. The ISSN also suggests spreading protein evenly across the day, roughly every 3 to 4 hours.
How much hydrolysed whey should I have in one serve?
The ISSN's general guide is about 0.25 g of high-quality protein per kg of body weight per serve, or 20 to 40 g, containing around 700 to 3,000 mg of leucine. Check the protein per scoop on your product's label to see how many scoops reach that amount, and follow the label directions.
What is the best hydrolysed whey protein in Australia?
There is no single best one for everyone, because taste, budget and how a shake sits with you matter most. At Supps247, Rule 1 R1 Protein is our best seller in this range, and other popular options include Dymatize ISO100, EHP Labs IsoPept, Next Generation Hydro-Iso WPI and Day One Hydrolysed Protein Isolate. Compare protein per 100 g, price per serve, flavours and whether the product is batch tested. Our guide to the best whey protein isolate in Australia explains how we rank our top picks.
Where can I buy hydrolysed whey protein in Melbourne or online?
Order hydrolysed whey protein online from Supps247 for delivery Australia-wide, usually within 2 to 8 business days, or buy it at one of our 17 Victorian stores, including Springvale, Craigieburn, Carnegie and Moonee Ponds, or at Richlands in Queensland. R1 Protein comes in 1, 2, 5 and 10 lb tubs and Dymatize ISO100 in several sizes, so you can start with a smaller tub to test a flavour. Stock and sizes vary by store, so check the product page or call before you travel. Our store locator finds your nearest store, and orders of $99.99 or more ship free.
Is hydrolysed whey safe to have every day?
For healthy adults, yes, within sensible amounts. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements reports no safety concerns for protein intakes up to about 2.0 g per kg of body weight a day in athletes, and the Australian Institute of Sport suggests keeping protein supplements to one or two serves a day. Hydrolysed whey is still a milk protein, so avoid it if you have a milk allergy. Read the label as well: Primabolics Iso-Ripped, for example, says it is not suitable for children under 15 or pregnant women.
Does hydrolysed whey have any side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. When side effects do happen they are usually digestive, such as wind, bloating or cramps, and lactose is a common trigger: healthdirect lists these as typical lactose intolerance symptoms, though many people cope with small amounts. Isolate-based hydrolysed powders carry little lactose. Next Generation Hydro-Iso WPI lists 0.6 g of sugars per serve in Chocolate, and EHP Labs IsoPept adds lactase in its enzyme blend. Sweeteners and gums can also disagree with some people, so check the ingredient list.
Does hydrolysed whey work, and how long before I notice a difference?
It works as a high-quality protein. The ISSN says rapidly digested proteins rich in essential amino acids and leucine are the most effective at stimulating muscle protein synthesis, and that protein and resistance training work together. Hydrolysis is one extra processing step, and the Australian Institute of Sport notes hydrolysates cost the most, with claims of faster uptake. Changes in muscle and strength come from weeks and months of consistent training with enough total protein, not from a single tub. Dymatize ISO100 and Rule 1 R1 Protein WPI both list 25 g of protein per scoop.
