Whey Concentrate (It consists of 70-80% protein and is cheaper compared to the other types.), Whey Isolate (It is formed when whey concentrate undergoes further processing. It has 90% protein. It is costlier than concentrate.) Whey Hydrolysate (This is the costliest type since it is highly processed and in pre-digested form. It is easy for the body to absorb.)
