Whey Protein Concentrate

whey protein concentrate is derived from
sweet dairy whey (milk). Â The process is through an ion-exchanged
filtering process in which fat, lactose, carbohydrates and
other materials are removed from the final product. Â Whey
Protein Concentrate can be sourced at 35% to 80% protein
per final product. Â We at True Protein only offer Whey Protein
Concentrate at its highest ratio, 77-80%. Â

Whey Protein Concentrate is considered the most economical
choice when buying a protein powder. Â Whey protein in general
is known for its extremely quick and fast digestion, it is great
for post workout shakes as well as anytime you need a quick
burst of amino acids.  Though, an excellent source of BCAA’s,
assimilation and digestion through the intestines is lessened
because of remaining products left in the filtering process. Â
Fat, lactose and the like, leave some users bloated and
gaseous.

Whey Protein Concentrate possesses a very bland flavor. Â
The mouth texture is very smooth and is easily mixed in a
shaker or blender. Â Since this is an instantized protein, it
mixes easily with a spoon as well.

Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration Â

Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration is derived
from whey protein concentrate, but ultimately from
sweet dairy whey. Â Isolates, Cold-Filtration, Microfiltration and
Ion-Exchange, are protein powders that are the next steps to
further process whey protein concentrate. Â The Â
Cold-Filtration process is a procedure of separating the proteins
through the use of micro filtering the mass all while using a cold
or “chilled” process (environment).  These filters allow the protein
to be removed from the unwanted fat, lactose and the like. Â
Cold-Filtration Isolate is virtually fat free and lactose (sugar) free. Â

So what is the difference between Cold-Filtration and Microfiltration? Â
They both use the same extraction process of filtering, but the
Cold-Filtration is just that, the liquid mass is chilled and then
filtered. Â As well the mass is then sprayed dried in a non heat
environment to preserve the undenatured proteins.

Using the Cold-Filtration method, the overall protein is said to only
be 0-3% denatured, in comparison to other proteins that can be denatured
up to 15%. Â Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration is very high in bioactive
whey protein fractions, including immunoglobulin, lactoferrin and
glycomacropeptides.

Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration is a great whey
protein for users who experience bloating and other problems
associated with whey protein concentrate. Â As well, users who
want a higher protein percentage per product, an Isolate is a
great choice. Â

Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration possesses an
extremely clean taste. Â This product alone is opaque in nature
(almost clear) and does not have any distinct flavor. Â Great for the
individual that dislikes the taste of “protein powders.

Whey Protein Isolate Ion-Exchange

Whey Protein Isolate Ion-Exchange is derived
from whey protein concentrate, but ultimately from sweet dairy
whey. Â Isolates, Microfiltration Cold-Filtration and Ion-Exchange,
are protein powders that are the next steps to further process
whey protein concentrate. Â The Ion-Exchange process is a
procedure of separating the proteins through their specific
electrical charge. Â Chemical reagents allow theelectric charge
of the protein to be controlled and then extracted. Â Ion-Exchange
Isolate is virtually fat free and lactose (sugar) free. Â The extraction
process leaves the final product almost all protein, around 96%
protein.

Whey Protein Isolate Ion-Exchange is a great whey protein for
users who experience bloating and other problems associated
with whey protein concentrate. Â As well, users who want a higher
protein percentage per product, an Isolate is a great choice. Â

Whey Protein Isolate Ion-Exchange possesses an extremely
clean taste. Â This product alone is opaque in nature (almost clear)
and does not have any distinct flavor. Â Great for the individual that
dislikes the taste of 'protein powders'.

Whey Protein Isolate Microfiltration Â

Whey Protein Isolate Microfiltration is derived
from whey protein concentrate, but ultimately from
sweet dairy whey. Â Isolates, Microfiltration Cold-Filtration and
Ion-Exchange, are protein powders that are the next steps to
further process whey protein concentrate. Â The Â
Microfiltration process is a procedure of separating the proteins
through the use of natural ceramic filters. Â These filters allow the
protein to be removed from the unwanted fat, lactose and the like. Â
Microfiltration Isolate is virtually fat free and lactose
(sugar) free. Â

True Protein carries 3 different types of Whey Protein Isolates,
Ion-Exchange , Cold-Filtration and Mircofiltration. Â Ion-Exchange uses
electrical charge and chemicals to extract the protein, but Â
Mircofiltration uses a more natural way of extracting protein through
filters. Â Microfiltration Isolates are left with more calcium
and give the user the highest level of undenatured protein available. Â
The extraction process leaves the final product almost all protein,
around 92% protein.

Whey Protein Isolate Microfiltration is a great whey
protein for users who experience bloating and other problems
associated with whey protein concentrate. Â As well, users who
want a higher protein percentage per product, an Isolate is a
great choice. Â
