What Is Cold Filtered, Ionized Whey Protein?

  • Whey protein, along with casein, one of the 2 major proteins in milk, is derived from purified cow's (or goat's) milk cheese - a complex process which includes defatting, precipitation, washing, solubilization, concentration and purification steps.  Commercial ion exchange resins are also used as part of the purification process.

  • Whey "isolate" is a standardized, higher concentrated form of protein than whey "concentrate".

  • The cold filtered ion exchange process allows the whey protein to maintain its purest natural composition without the protein denaturation of heat. 

Benefits of Whey Protein Isolate Include the Following

  • More easily and efficiently digested form of protein than food.

  • Boosts energy.

  • Curbs appetite for sweets and other carbohydrates.

  • Acts as an antioxident, preventing peroxidation of fats.

  • Improves the viability of the probiotic bifidobacteria.

  • Increases endurance and muscle recovery from physical activity (especially effective within 30 minutes immediately following exercise).

  • Improves resynthesis of the body's high energy store, glycogen, by 20% or more following an intense workout.

  • Increases metabolism (helps speed weight loss).

  • With resistance training, results in significant weight loss, fat loss, lean body weight increase, and increased muscle strength.

  • Improves immune function.  Protects against immune function disturbance caused by oxidized cholesterol (animal study).  May assist human white blood cells in fighting off certain bacterial infections.

  • Twice as effective as highly touted soy protein anti-aging/rejuvenation benefits.

  • Increases bone growth, density and strength.

  • Helps prevent oxidation of the "bad" LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein).

  • When added to lactobacillus casei- and streptococcus thermophilus-enriched milk, raises "good" HDL cholesterol, lowers serum triglycerides and lowers systolic blood pressure.

  • Lactokinins from whey protein may have blood pressure-lowering benefits
