Why is high-DH hydrolyzed whey a superior source of protein than soy or other plant source proteins?
Whey has an amino acid profile very close to that of human muscle tissue, which means it has higher nutritional potential from the start. Secondly, high-DH hydrolyzed whey (Proto Whey) is virtually 100% absorbed. Conversely, soy and other plant proteins have an amino acid profile designed primarily for plant life functions giving it a nutritional potential generally far inferior to whey. Additionally plant proteins have a different molecular structure, which is very difficult for the human gut to absorb. Obviously if you don't absorb it, your body can’t use it and generally eliminates it as waste.
Why does Proto Whey absorb so much faster and more completely than other protein supplements and whole protein foods?
The protein molecules, called peptides, in Proto Whey are reduced (hydrolyzed) down to the molecular sizes necessary for absorption. Other products and foods need to be highly hydrolyzed after they are consumed, a process, which takes time and energy and rarely completes in the human gut leaving unabsorbed protein.
Most protein drinks and meal replacement formulas have poor chalky taste. What about Proto Whey?
Proto Whey is very different in that it does not mix into a thick, pasty drink. It has a light mouth feel and incredibly 4 delicious flavors newly engineered specifically for the high-DH hydrolysates in Proto Whey.
Mixing protein shakes is such a hassle. Does Proto Whey mix easily?
Yes, no blender is necessary. A few seconds of shaking or swift spoon stirring prior to drinking is all that is necessary.
How does the cost of Proto Whey compare to that of other protein supplements?
With the complete absorption factor of Proto Whey, the cost per serving of absorbed protein is actually less than virtually all other proteins – remember if it's not absorbed, it’s not utilized.
The label states that virtually all of the 4 grams of fat in a serving of Proto Whey are MCTs. What does this mean for the consumer?
MCTs are Medium Chain Triglycerides, which cannot be converted or stored as body fat. MCTs aid in digestion of protein and all other foods and supplements and contribute to overall health of intestinal tissue.
Why is Proto Whey the only 100% pure high-DH whey hydrolysate protein I can find?
Though Proto Whey hydrolysates are far superior nutritionally, their naturally occurring taste is too bitter for consumption. BioNutritional Research Group has developed the only unique and proprietary flavoring process available for high-DH hydrolyzed protein and thus it is the only product of its type on the market.
All the protein supplements I have used cause stomach bloating and gas. Why is Proto Whey so different?
Usually it is undigested protein that causes bloating and gas. Depending on the size of the protein meal, anywhere from 30-75% of non-hydrolyzed protein supplements and foods are not absorbed and end up as residue in the gut. Since Proto Whey is so highly hydrolyzed, it is more completely absorbed leaving virtually no residue to cause bloating and gas.
