To put it simply, native whey is whey protein in its purest form. One of the most unique aspects about it is that it’s extracted directly from fresh milk and cold-filtered without heat or chemicals. As a result, native whey is:
Standard whey protein is the by-product of cheese making. That means the whey is separated from the cheese curd through a process that requires chemicals, heat, and enzymes. It’s more affordable than native whey because it’s cheaper to produce—that’s why you see it in so many protein supplements.
Native whey is clinically-proven to stimulate muscle repair and growth faster than standard whey protein. One study measured native whey protein's effectiveness in enhancing endurance performance among young, moderately-active men engaged in plyometrics training. Research showed that a single serving of native whey protein kickstarts muscle recovery within 30 minutes, outperforming standard whey (which took up to 48 hours to stimulate muscle repair).
Protein needs are unique to your goals, budget, lifestyle, and nutrition requirements. That said, native whey is the choice for athletes who want to build muscle faster, people who want to hit their daily protein goals with fewer serving, and anyone interested in a cleaner* protein powder. Plus, native whey is more neutral in flavor so you can easily incorporate it into your meals throughout the day.
Standard whey, on the other hand, tends to be a more budget-friendly option because it’s cheaper to make.
