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.
