Hydrolysed Whey: What It Is and How to Choose
What hydrolysed whey is. Hydrolysed whey protein (WPH) is milk whey protein that has undergone enzymatic hydrolysis, a process that breaks part of the protein down into smaller peptides. It can be made from concentrate or isolate, and many products combine hydrolysate with whey isolate.
Examples of hydrolysed whey. Formulas such as Dymatize ISO100, Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey and BioTechUSA Hydro Whey Zero include hydrolysed whey in their composition. You will find these products in our whey isolate collection.
Authorised claims. Like any whey protein, hydrolysate is a source of protein. Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass, to the maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones.
Flavour and texture. Hydrolysis can give a slightly more bitter taste, which manufacturers usually balance with flavourings and sweeteners. The price per serving tends to be higher than for concentrate.
Hydrolysate, isolate or concentrate? If price is your priority, whey concentrate is usually the most economical option. If you prefer more protein per gram, compare isolates and hydrolysates. See all our protein powders.

FAQ — Does hydrolysed whey contain milk? Yes. It is a milk protein, so it contains milk as an allergen. Check the label for the lactose content of each product.
FAQ — When should I take hydrolysed whey? Like other whey proteins, you can take it after training or at any time of day to top up the protein in your meals. Follow the manufacturer's recommended daily dose.
