Protein???

17/male/140lbs looking to gain mass.. I've decided to start using whey protein, but i am not too sure of the different types or brands, etc. While researching, i've realized that there are 3 types: concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate. Which one is best suited for a teen looking to gain mass?

The only nutrition store i can think of in my town is nutrition house (http://www.nutritionhouse.com they have a list of all their supplements).. which should i get? Thanks!

Ok basically concentrate whey protein is about 70-80% whey protein along with some growth factors, lactose, and fat. Since it's lower in protein % people assume it's a lot worse because it has less protein per gram than isolate. However it contain several growth factors but they have not yet been determined whether they actually help or no.

Isolate is 90-96% protein so it gives you a lot of protein with virtually no fat.

Hydrolysate is basically protein that has already been partially broken down. It's supposedly easier to adsorb but it hasn't really been proven to be better results.

You don't have a GNC? I wouldn't buy anything from that place according to the site, it lacks variety and the products are expensive.
