Whey protein powder is one of the most popular supplements. For decades, they were a niche protein source, used mostly among bodybuilders and serious athletes.
But that's change.
Today you’ll find them at corner stores, big box retail stores, and through hundreds of different brands.
That's because the benefits range beyond muscle and strength building.
Eating more protein can support recovery, help you stay satiated, and support hundreds of critical bodily functions.
Whey protein powders provide a convenient way to get more protein, especially around your workout when whole-food meals aren't practical.
However, there are a few common problems with whey protein powders.
Many don't absorb well, they're made with low-quality ingredients, or they don't taste good.
In this article, we’ll explain why these common problems exist and how we overcome them with our Whey Protein Isolate.
Problem #1: Absorption
One of whey protein’s advantages over other proteins is that it digests quickly.
However, it’s also infamous for leading to stomach discomfort and poor absorption.
The first key to improve this is to only use whey protein isolate. Many protein powders use the cheaper whey protein concentrate, which contains less protein by weight and more sugar and fat.

This isn’t the end of the story though. Just because it's all isolate, doesn’t mean you’re absorbing as much as you can.
That’s why in our Whey Protein Isolate, we use a patented form called ioWhey® Protein Isolate.
This form uses a patented technology to guide the whey protein through your digestive tract, where it can then be absorbed into your bloodstream. It has been shown to increase essential amino acid bioavailability by 123%.*
This means your body can absorb and use more of the protein to support muscle recovery, growth, and performance.*
Problem #2: Quality
We already talked about the importance of using whey protein isolate over concentrate. We only use ultrafiltered whey protein isolate, which removes more of the unwanted lactose and fats, leaving you with pure, high-quality protein.
Again, it doesn’t end here.
In all Kaged supplements, we don’t use any artificial colors, flavors, or dyes. We also avoid GMOs and gluten. You don’t want these ingredients in your protein powder. We believe that your protein powder should be as clean as possible. Each of our flavors of Whey Protein Isolate has 1g of sugar or less.
Problem #3: Taste
Let’s be honest, taste matters.
And we’ll admit, compared to 2015 when we started, the overall taste of protein powders available has improved a lot. If you're an OG fan of protein powder, you probably remember when most of them tasted like spoiled milk mixed with fake powdered chocolate.
But many protein powders taste good for the wrong reasons—they're packed with low-quality ingredients like sugar, fat, and artificial flavors.
Creating a great-tasting protein while keeping the ingredients clean is something we’ve worked to perfect over many years. You can get Kaged Whey Protein Isolate in three delicious options: Vanilla, Chocolate, and Chocolate Peanut Butter.
We’re so confident you’ll love it, that if you don’t, you’re covered by our best-tasting protein guarantee. That is, you have 60 days to decide if you love it or not, and if you don’t, you’ll get a full refund.
Improve Recovery and Results
You know you need protein. Whether you want to have a scoop right after you train, in your morning smoothie, or with plain Greek yogurt and fruit, Kaged Whey Protein Isolate provides the combination of quality, taste, and price that frankly, we don’t think you’ll find anywhere else.
