What is the main difference between Ascent and Promix?

Ascent uses cold-filtered native whey (extracted directly from milk, not from cheese-making byproduct) sourced from US dairy. Promix uses traditional cheese-byproduct whey sourced from small US family farms with grass-fed standards. Both are clean-label brands with no artificial sweeteners, but the protein extraction methods differ.

Is native whey actually better than regular whey?

It is a slight quality upgrade. Native whey is extracted directly from skim milk via cold microfiltration, which preserves more of the native protein structure and produces a slightly higher leucine content (about 11 percent vs 10 percent in traditional whey). The differences are small. For 95 percent of users, the practical impact is negligible.

Which has better flavor, Ascent or Promix?
