For all those fitness enthusiasts, body builders and beginners like myself know the importance of taking protein supplements. When I decided to take supplements myself I ended up in Confusion between two types of Protein Supplement Brands “Protein X” and “Whey Protien”. Both of these brands extract the supplement from vegetarian sources. So I was confused as to which one should I select.
I decided to research on both of them. First was Price, Protienx costs 735 for 500 grams whereas Whey protein costs 3493 for 2 kg, that is 873 Rs for 500 grams (Prices as on amazon.com). The next thing I was how much protein I get per 100 grams. Whey Protein gives us 76 grams of protein per 100 grams of serving and 25 grams per 33 grams serving. Protein X gives us 32 grams protein per 100 grams and 11 grams protein per 33 grams. But Protein X also provides many other essential proteins and minerals that Whey protein doesn’t give. Also I saw that Whey protein is made from milk and milk derivatives whereas Protein X is made from groundnut. The protein extracted from milk derivatives is better than those derived from other vegetarian sources.
Bottom line, If you want to build lean muscles and do not require other minerals and vitamins then Whey protein is better. But if you want protein and have sedentary lifestyle then Protein X is better. Please make sure that you consult your doctor or nutrition consultant before taking actual decision.
