Do Whey Protein Supplements Contain Sugar

• Whey protein is the protein you get from milk. It
  is of three types concentrate, isolate and
  hydrolysate. Most whey protein supplements these
  days dont contain sugar. You can check the
  packaging before buying them. However, many
  products contain artificial sweeteners such as
  aspartame, ace-K, sucralose, etc.
• Most protein supplements contain nil or around 1
  sugar these days. They contain other sweeteners.
  They are said to be low in calories compared to
  sugar, but since many of them are relatively new,
  no one knows about their long term effects.
  Supplements are products you have daily. The
  unflavoured options are generally unsweetened.
  For people who are not comfortable with
  artificial sweeteners, you can opt for
  unflavoured options. They might not be as tasty
  as other flavoured options, but they have less
  artificial flavours and colors. They can be added
  to smoothies, shakes, or other dishes as well, to
  gain their benefits without compromising on the
  taste.
