Isogold Whey Protein

Whey protein isolate is a high-quality protein source with a complete amino acid profile, supporting muscle growth and recovery. It is highly processed to remove most fats and lactose, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance. Compared to other protein sources, it offers superior bioavailability and digestibility.

Whey protein hydrolysate is a pre-digested form of whey protein, allowing for faster absorption and utilization by the body. It is processed to break down proteins into smaller peptides, enhancing digestibility. This form is particularly beneficial for post-workout recovery due to its rapid absorption.

Beneficial ingredient — whole-food or functional value in this product class.

Medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats that are rapidly absorbed and used for energy. Derived from coconut oil, they are beneficial for quick energy and may support weight management. MCTs are less likely to be stored as fat compared to long-chain triglycerides.

Cinnamon is a spice known for its antioxidant properties and potential to support blood sugar regulation. It is minimally processed and adds flavor and aroma. Its health benefits are supported by traditional use and some scientific studies.

Cocoa is rich in flavonoids, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is minimally processed and adds a chocolate flavor. Cocoa consumption is associated with cardiovascular benefits.

Probiotic cultures like Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus fermentum support gut health by promoting a healthy microbiome. They are beneficial for digestion and immune function. Probiotics are often included in supplements for their health-promoting properties.

Stevia is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener derived from the stevia plant. It is processed to remove bitter compounds, resulting in a sweet taste without calories. It is a suitable sugar alternative for those managing blood sugar levels.

Silicon dioxide is used as an anti-caking agent to prevent clumping. It is naturally occurring and considered safe in small amounts. It does not contribute any nutritional value.

Guar gum is a thickening agent derived from guar beans. It is used to improve texture and stability in food products. While generally safe, it can cause digestive issues in large amounts.

Lactase is an enzyme that helps break down lactose, making the product suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals. It is added to improve digestibility for those with lactose sensitivity. It does not provide additional nutritional benefits.

Natural flavours are often used to enhance taste but can be a catch-all term for various additives. The lack of transparency in their composition can be concerning for those with allergies or sensitivities. They are processed and may not offer any nutritional benefits.

Natural cream flavour is used to mimic the taste of cream but may contain various additives. Its processing and lack of transparency can be problematic for those with dietary restrictions. It does not contribute any nutritional value.

Sunflower lecithin is used as an emulsifier to improve texture and mixability. While it is less processed than soy lecithin, it still undergoes significant processing. It does not provide substantial nutritional benefits.

Soy lecithin is a common emulsifier derived from soybeans, often genetically modified. It is heavily processed and may contain trace amounts of soy allergens. It does not offer significant nutritional benefits.

Sucralose is an artificial sweetener used to provide sweetness without calories. It is chemically altered to be non-caloric, but its long-term health effects are debated. Some studies suggest it may affect gut health negatively.
