Is Hydrolysed Whey Worth It

Q: Hey Mike. Just wondering on your opinion on Hydrolysed whey. Is it worth spending that extra bit of money? or should i stick with a wpi?

A: I haven't seen any reputable articles that indicate that hydrolysed whey is superior to the commonly used whey isolate. Unless you are able to get a great deal on hydrolysed whey, I would just stick to whey protein isolate (wpi).
