When it comes to whey protein powder, most of the time, the cost comes down to the various sources used to provide the protein. A quick example would be a supplement with only whey isolate will be more expensive than one with whey isolate and concentrate. Legion exclusively uses whey isolate in its star protein product, Whey+, although to offer something more value-focused, it now has the simply named Legion Whey Concentrate.
As mentioned, whey concentrate is a cheaper and lower concentration source of protein compared to whey isolate, but it is still a great source of protein in most cases, just more cost-effective. Unlike Whey+, Legion Whey Concentrate uses only whey concentrate, no high-end isolate. The nutrition profile breaks down to 20g of protein per serving, 2.5g of fat, 4g of carbohydrates, half of that sugar, and a higher than usual calorie count of 120.
The difference in price between Whey+ and Legion Whey Concentrate is notable, where a 30-serving bag of the former is $64.99 and the latter is $44.99, with two flavors in Dutch Chocolate and French Vanilla. When worked out based on the amount of actual protein you get, Whey Concentrate is 24% cheaper comparing the same sizes, although if you get the larger 60 serving bag of Whey+, the value gets a little bit closer at 18%.
Legion is also having a sale at the moment, and it’s a big one, where everything is buy one, get one half price, even protein powders. The promotion does apply to Legion Whey Concentrate, and it brings the cost down from $44.99 to $33.74 each for two.
