The fully disclosed label means you know exactly how many grams of each type of whey is in every scoop. Their blend is made even more noteworthy with a few natural digestive enzymes and the most bomb flavours on the market today.

- Whey Protein Concentrate
- Hydrolysed Whey Protein Isolate
Whey Protein Isolate is the purest and most highly filtered form of whey and one of the primary ingredients in Ghost Lifestyle protein powder. There is only as little as 1% lactose in whey protein isolate as the filtration process removes the majority of the lactose, making it a great option for those who are sensitive to lactose.
The highest quality isolates contain a minimum of 90% protein and are very easily digested out of all whey protein forms. Isolate has very little fat, carbohydrates and cholesterol and is very low in calories, making it an ideal option when in a dieting phase when retaining muscle mass is imperative.
Whey Protein Concentrate has a higher percentage of lactose than whey protein isolate. Concentrates are generally between 70 to 80% protein and rich in branch chain amino acids and glutamine. Whey protein concentrate is also high in biologically active components that have numerous beneficial properties, similar to what is found in milk.
Hydrolysed whey protein is whey protein isolate that has been hydrolysed. When it comes to fast recovery with little to no digestive discomfort, hydrolysed whey protein is superior. The hydrolysation process means that both the assimilation and digestion of the protein are enhanced to an optimal level for muscle protein synthesis.
