Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between hydrolyzed whey and regular whey isolate?
Hydrolyzed whey undergoes an additional enzymatic process that pre-digests the protein chains into smaller peptides, making it the fastest-absorbing form of whey — faster than regular isolate and significantly faster than concentrate. The result is quicker amino acid delivery post-workout and lower residual lactose, which is easier on digestion. ISO 100 uses 100% hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, making it one of the purest and fastest protein options on the market.
Is Dymatize ISO 100 good for cutting or weight loss?
Yes — ISO 100's macro profile is purpose-built for cutting phases. Less than 1g of sugar, under 0.5g of fat, and ≤120 calories per serving mean virtually every calorie you consume is protein. The 25g protein per serving supports muscle preservation during a caloric deficit, and the fast absorption makes it ideal post-workout when your body needs amino acids quickly. Many Bulldog customers rely on ISO 100 as their go-to protein during a cut for exactly this reason.
Is Dymatize ISO 100 gluten-free and lactose-free?
Yes to both. ISO 100 is gluten-free and is filtered to remove excess lactose, making it one of the most accessible protein powders for athletes who are gluten-intolerant or lactose-sensitive. While it is derived from dairy (whey), the hydrolyzation and filtration process removes the vast majority of lactose — most lactose-sensitive users report no digestive issues with ISO 100. If you have a severe dairy allergy, consult a healthcare professional before use.
When is the best time to take Dymatize ISO 100?
The most popular timing is within 30–60 minutes post-workout — the rapid absorption of hydrolyzed whey means amino acids reach your muscles quickly during the critical recovery window. ISO 100 also works well first thing in the morning to break an overnight fast, or between meals to keep protein intake consistent. With ≤120 calories per serving, it fits into virtually any point in your day.
