Is this product paleo-appropriate? The whey protein has me wondering. Thanks.

This is actually a difficult question to answer as there is much debate on the topic. Truly, it depends on your goals. If you are in a "Paleo Challenge", you'll want to consult the rules (some people say whey is not paleo because it is derived from milk). However, if you are simply searching for a healthier lifestyle, but you prefer to supplement your protein intake, then whey is a great option. For the active athlete/person on a paleo lifestyle diet, protein intake is as vital as sleeping. Also, in most whey proteins the irritants and allergens found in actual cow's milk have been removed. Whey isolates are preferred by most athletes for the easy access to increased protein versus price. I hope this helps.

The only thing in there is the egg whites, no soy, dairy, or sugar is in it. That's the reason why I chose this over any other protein. I only buy the plain egg white protein because I didn't want any other additives. I usually mix it into something, such as the "Naked" juices/smoothies. I have one in the morning & make a double size to take to work. When I sip on it..it keeps my hunger away. I actually have this on auto ship for once a month & usually end up buying another one. It's the best way that I've found to get enough protein for the day without all of the calories. I hope this helps you The only thing in there is the egg whites, no soy, dairy, or sugar is in it.

It has whey protein in it but it is not a good source of protein in general. Isopure is my preferred source.

It should not contain whey if it is advertised as a pea protein, also nothing on the container refers to whey. I hope this is helpful.

Jacalyn, thanks for great information! I like Jay Robb's product a lot, but my situation has changed and it just doesn't fit it in the budget right now. I have immune issues, and am wondering whether Consumer Lab indicates that Costco or T Joe's protein powder is OK for the interim? Grateful for your input!

I'm not sure if that is true, but I really like using it in my smoothie in the morning. My lactose intolerance stops me from being able to use the whey protein and this one isn't gritty and blends well. Enjoy!

No whey. I use it because it is lactose free. Excellent product. Great source of protein. Have it with Almond milk, p-butter and a banana every morning.

It can probably come across as a little chalky. With that said, it is one of the best protein powders I've ever used (so far I have only bought the chocolate). I also never just drink it straight. I mix mine with a handful of frozen fruit and a couple of cups of leafy greens (kale, spinach, chard) and blend together. I think it's great.

It was very good, but rather expensive. After doing some research I decided to go with an organic whey protein that comes out of Canada and sold at Amazon. I buy the chocolate flavored organic no sugar added WHEY FACTOR. The two pound canister is only $24.95.

Hi, thank you for your question. I have been drinking this Soy protein. I can give you my comments. 1. No for body builder, 2. Yes for LACTOSE-INTOLERANT and 3. No for BULKING PHASE. If you want no. 1 & 3 yes, you may have to find whey protein from Soy or plants. Hope this helps. thanks

Hi JN, Whey Protein has naturally occurring amino acids. Here is a typical amino profile for our whey isolate: http://i.imgur.com/NgG5x9G.jpg

We are happy to help! Upon consulting with our product specialist, we have found it is not recommended to take Casein protein and supplement with another protein. However, we are not medical doctors and not sure of every persons' needs. We recommend following up with your health care provider or nutritionist for further information. We hope this information is helpful!

Hi, looking at my jar, I do not see whey protein listed, only soy protein. The list of ingredients is quite long, so I will give you their website off the jar & maybe you can find out directly from them. It's www.Lifeburst.com Hope this helped some.

It is my understanding it is 100% whey protein from grass fed cows. Nothing else is added.

Go Directly to Naturade's Website. Or I an send you a shot of the back of the can. It is very good- oddly enough I thought what the hell will pea protein taste like. I love it! I think its 230 cals for 2 scopes. No Fat- No Dairy- No Soy- No Whey.

Absolutely, man. Whey is one of the highest quality protein out there. Take it after your workouts and you won't feel as sore. After a week or two start taking after your workouts and before bed with some milk. Obviously you're going to have to diet and excersize but ya whey will definitely lean you out.

Hello Vida! It is whey isolate; however, it is a wonderful protein source. If you want any other specifics you can also go to teraswhey.com - I have been using the goat for quite a while - no problems - I have celiac disease (22 years), irritable bowel and microscopic colitis - no problems for me with this product. Hope this helps! If I can be of further help, feel free to let me know.
