Hydrolyzed Whey Protein
	 Cross-Flow Microfiltration Whey Protein Isolate (CFMWPI)
	 Ion-exchange Whey Isolate (IEWPI)
         Whey Protein Concentrate

Scientific Description The most digestible source of whey protein developed for human consumption. A hydrolyzed whey is partially digested to make them more assimilable for human digestion. The protein molecules are split into smaller groups called peptides. The amino acids are called peptide bonded. Described as a highly purified protein enzymatically hydrolysated to form whey peptides. The benefits of whey protein isolate are combined with the hydrolysated whey peptides extremely solubility and nutrition benefits. Hydrolyzed whey protein can be process to different degress of quality. The Protein Factory will offer 3 different hydrolyzed whey proteins to choose from.

Bodybuilding and Athletic Supplementation Description Excellent source of whey protein, probably the best. BUT because of the hydrolyzation process, the protein unflavored is undrinkable with a terrible taste. Our suggestion is to combine the hydrolyzed with whey isolate or any other source of protein, preferable a 4 to 1 ratio. Hydrolyzed whey protein is also the most expensive, which is another drawback besides the taste. Great for people who are allergic to some properties of whey. Used mostly be hard-core bodybuilders and extreme athletes. (NPC, IFBB, Olympic and professionals).

Scientific Description Whey protein isolate is the cleanest form of whey protein. Isolation of the whey, using cross-flow microfiltration is the next processing step after concentration. Its has a higher protein per serving ratio than whey concentrate . Whey isolates yield over 90 grams of protein per 100 grams of whey. It is virtually fat and lactose free. Whey isolate yields a higher amount of BCAA, half of which come from the essential amino acids. Extremely digestible with a good taste.

CROSS-FLOW MICROFILTRATION....THE PROCESS DESCRIBED IN LAYMANS TERMS Whey protein isolate can be manufactured using different methods. The Protein Factory carries two different whey isolate proteins. Thus we feel the need to inform our customers of each different method.

1. Cross-flow microfiltration possess more calcium and less sodium than ion-exchange. Thus, women and athletes on performance enhancement drugs might want to consider cross-flow microfiltration as their choice for obvious reasons.

Bodybuilding and Athletic Supplementation Description

The ideal source of whey protein protein for weight training athletes. Users reported no experience with digestive problems such as gas, bloating, and diaherra, as commonly associated with whey concentrate. Reported higher lean muscle gains with whey isolate over concentrate due to it's higher P.E.R. value. Which means, more weight is gained from every gram of whey isolate taken. Although twice as expensive as whey concentrate, the benefits out way the price. If one wants protein and not fat and carbs, then choose whey isolate. Mostly consumed by recreational bodybuilders and ametuer athletes. Great for bodybuilders who are lactose intolerant. WARNING Many companies claim to use whey isolate but do not. Remember, isolated whey protein costs twice as much to manufacture therefore their profit margin would be drastically reduced, that is why there are so many whey concentrates on the market and whey complexes (combinations of WPC & WPI). Look at the nutritional facts, if the label reads 2 or more carbs it usually is a concentrate or contains it. Once again beware of proprietary information

Scientific Description Manufactured from fresh, sweet dairy whey. Using the ion-exchange process the proteins are separated on the basis of their electrical charge. The extraction works by controlling the electrical charge on the proteins using chemical reagents. The electrical charge on the proteins attaches them to resins in the reaction vessel. The product contains the proteins beta-lactoglobumin and alpha-lactalbumin. It is instantized and mixes very easily with a spoon. It is also fat and lactose free.

Ion-exchange whey isolate is excellent for any athlete in wishing to try an alternative to whey concentrate. If one experiences bloating and other digestive problems then IEWPI is a good choice. This protein mixes very easily with a spoon and probably is the best tasting protein in the Protein Factory's selection. One advantage Ion-exchange whey isolate has over CFM is that it has a 5% greater protein percentage. Which means your getting more protein for your money.

Whey Protein Concentrate Scientific Description Derived from sweet dairy whey. Using the ion-exchange process the whey is concentrated to remove most of the fat and lactose and other unwanted materials. Depending on the quality and cost, WPC can yield a protein ratio of 34 to 89 grams of protein per 100 grams of whey. Yields and excellent source of BCAA and retains it high biological value. The overall PER is 3.2.

The most commonly used source of whey protein. Used by over 99.5% of supplement companies. WPC is higher is fat, carbs, and lactose than WPI there results in less assimilation by the stomach and intestines. Many users of WPC report bloating and gas with supplementation. Considered by many as the economical source of whey protein. Great for athletes with low budget or require high amount of protein per day. Typically used by college, high school, and beginner to intermediate bodybuilders.
