Which is better for a post-workout shake?

Both work. ISO100 is hydrolyzed, so it is absorbed a bit faster and tastes like chocolate straight from the shaker. NOW Isolate is plain, so you would add your own flavor.

Which has cleaner ingredients?

NOW Sports Isolate. It is unflavored and unsweetened, with no artificial sweeteners, and it is Informed Sport certified. ISO100 adds flavoring and sweetener.

They are close. Buyers of both report easy mixing and little grit. ISO100 is formulated for shaker bottles; NOW dissolves well in water, milk or juice.

Can I use the unflavored NOW isolate in food?

Yes. Buyers use it in smoothies, coffee, baking and keto recipes because it adds protein without changing taste. ISO100's chocolate flavor limits that.

Is ISO100 worth stepping up to over NOW?

If you want a ready-to-drink flavored shake and faster-absorbing hydrolyzed whey, yes. If you want a neutral, tested powder you can add to anything, NOW is the better fit.

Which lasts longer per tub?

ISO100. Its tub holds more servings. NOW Isolate has about 19 servings, and buyers say it runs out quickly.

Dymatize ISO100 Hydrolyzed Whey vs NOW Sports Whey Protein Isolate

Both deliver 25 g of whey protein per scoop, but they aim at different shoppers. The Dymatize ISO100 is hydrolyzed whey isolate with added flavoring and sweetener, so it mixes fast and tastes like chocolate; owners rate it highly for post-workout shakes. The NOW Sports Isolate is unflavored and unsweetened, third-party tested and Informed Sport certified, and suits people who want a clean, versatile protein to add to their own drinks and recipes. Pick ISO100 for taste and convenience; pick NOW for a neutral, additive-free powder.

Choose the Dymatize ISO100 if you want a flavored, fast-mixing hydrolyzed whey shake you can drink straight after training.
Choose the NOW Sports Whey Isolate if you want an unflavored, unsweetened isolate you can add to smoothies, coffee or baking without changing the taste.
