Whey Hydrolysate
Whey hydrolysate is pre-digested whey marketed for rapid absorption. Standard whey plus whole foods matches outcomes for most trainees at lower cost.
Whey hydrolysate is whey protein pre-broken into smaller peptides for faster absorption—marketed for post-workout and sensitive stomachs. Evidence for superior muscle gain over standard whey is mixed for most people; cost is higher and taste can be bitter.
Regular whey isolate or concentrate plus whole food protein works for most training goals.

Is whey hydrolysate worth the extra cost?
