Do you have to replace your whey protein concentrate with "native whey" product to avoid missing out on massive gains? The study to answer this question has not yet been, done, but the study at hand certainly does not warrant this conclusion. You will probably have seen the results of the latest study from a recent paper by scientists from the  Norwegian School of Sport Sciences  (Hamarsland. 2017). The one, where 20g of native whey protein showed significantly faster amino acid absorption than 20 g of whey protein concentrate 80 (WPC80), hydrolyzed whey (WPH), microparticulated whey (MWP), and milk proteins (Milk) after being administered to thirteen healthy male subjects (age: 26.6 ± 7.4 years, height: 180.8 ± 6.3 cm, weight: 80.8 ± 6.3 kg) in a single-blinded, randomized, five-way crossover, controlled study - a study, of which I am pretty sure that various snake oil vendors are already (ab-)using it to sell expensive "native", i.e. unprocessed whey protein a...

Casein & whey - Many companies sell both. For a good reason! It appears to be logical. By combining whey and casein in your post-workout shake you would have the protein synthesis triggering spike of amino acids from the whey and the long-lasting pro-anabolic hyperaminoacidemia (=elevated amino acid levels in the blood) from casein. Can you ask for more? Yes, you can! You can ask for scientific evidence that this is actually superior to say spiking your whey protein with additional pro-anabolic BCAAs (Atherton. 2010; Blomstrand. 2001) and allegedly recovery boosting glutamine (Sharp. 2010).
