Whey Protein Supplement Product Comparison

Whey Protein is the starting point for all healthy living, muscle building and general sports nutrition. It should form the foundation of any supplement plan - get it wrong, and everything else you do could be for nothing. Many of the more 'advanced' types of supplements available on the market today rely on you having a sufficient supply of good quality, bio-available protein in your body. So get the first step right, and you'll be well on your way to supplement success!

We only sell whey protein supplements that have been microfiltered using ion exchange and cold filtration to preserve protein integrity, and nearly all our whey protein supplements include Whey Protein Isolates as their key ingredients. These provide the most biologically-available source of protein available today, helping you to build and maintain quality lean muscle mass as efficiently as possible. All our whey protein supplements are free from sucrose and aspertame, so you can rest assured that you're giving your body plenty of beneficial nutrition without compromise!

Manufacturers - if there is any aspect of your Protein supplement that you feel is either not mentioned, or misrepresented, then please don't hesitate to get in touch with us and we'll update the table accordingly. We want this to be as fair a comparison as possible, so would welcome any of your feedback!

Unfortunately, trying to compare all the different whey protein supplements available is something of a headache. Different manufacturers present different information in totally different ways, so a straight comparison is far from easy. Working out what you're getting (or not getting) for you money is a fairly awkward process! However, we at Explosive Nutrition have attempted to collate as much relevant info about the different protein wheys we have available for sale, shown in the tables below. This is definitely not a complete picture of the different whey protein supplements, as many are too complex to sum up in a few lines, but hopefully the core info here should help some of you make up your minds about which brand to go for.
