i am a vegetarian, and i have done some research on whether whey protein vegetarian, and i got mixed answers, but most of them saying it depends on the processing. so can you help me understand if this is a vegetarian protien or not , and why ?

Vegetarian means no meat, as opposed to VEGAN, which would be nothing coming FROM an animal. It IS vegetarian. It is NOT vegan, as it comes from milk. If you are VEGAN, you will need a soy protein instead.

The description says vegetarian yet the ingredients state gelatin. Since gelatin is not vegetarian I am not sure what to think.

We're vegetarian. I don't think there is any animal in it, and it's a tablet, so there's no protein jacket. I tossed the box, so I can't look at the list of ingredients. Best I can answer.

Hi Sharon! Actually there are no whey proteins on the market that are actually "raw." When dairy products are sold across state lines, they must be pasteurized under FDA regulations. So if you see any whey protein marketing itself as "raw" it actually isn't. Source is proud to be transparent about our methods, our cows, and our farms. Thanks for the question.

Aminos are the building blocks of protein. With that said, your actual questions would be. What is syntha 6 protein bioavailability? Ie the acutual protein my body will use. Syntha 6 is actually 6 proteins in one which make it more popular then "on whey" for obviously the different digestion stages. A scoop has 22 grams of which 80% is bioavailability is dependent on you. "Ie before or after workout before or after bed. In between meals your basically piss out your money because the body brakes it down to the amino acids needed at the time. It's an excellent maintance protein. You want more protein bioavailability for your money look into isopure or my favorite to stack with syntha 6 which is humapro

Hi there! We're obviously partial, but Source is Non-GMO Project Verified and American Humane Association certified while Raw is not. We also tell you where we get our whey (Northern California farms) while they are very vague. Finally, they're really not "raw," that's just a marketing tactic.

Yes, whey is the protein source for this product. It is from grass fed cows raised in New Zealand who are not treated with antibiotics or given GMO grains.

The protein is 100% whey based but there is a small % (most likely less than 1 - 2%) of soy lecithin as an emulsifier. Since lecithin is a highly refined ingredient there is little to no protein left so it is an incidental ingredient. If it is an allergen concern, recommendation is to avoid. If you are not concerned about allergen, this is an excellent product.

i'd use raw organic whey if you can find it. Raw has all the nutrients in it. I use warrior whey organic. I think it's low heat processed.

Also I have tried many different kind of protein and with each one after research have realized that there are some problems with it such as too much metal in the protein or too much sugar or other issues. But just today have purchase a type of protein that is made from peas with no sugar and it's organic. Most important of all it cold processed. Once I receive it and try it then I do se research on it and figure out if it's truly the ultimate and superior.

I am using it for the last 6 months. I am allergic to soy. I can't find a whey protein without soy. I tried this one and loved it. In wholefoods it cost around 24.99$. So Amazon is the best deal . Based on the label it says it is organic and free range cows.

Yes, it still says Whey Protein, nothing about peas. Makes me quite hesitant to buy it!

You'd have to check with the manufacturer. They call it a natural product, but "natural" does not have any standardized or regulatory meaning. Everyone is free to decide for themselves what is natural. It's also vegan/vegetarian. You'd have to look at the ingredient list and decide for yourself if there are any ingredients that you don't want to ingest.

Currently it is porcine. However, they are soon coming out with both vegetarian and kosher versions. Log onto www.smartypantsvitamins.com and access the FAQ list. Your question is there and as well as the explanation of why. They offer to put you on their mailing list so that you would be advised when the other two versions are available. I love this product. Allergies aside (for you) it is the only vitamin supplement product of any kind that I have been able to tolerate in over 30 years. I am in my late 50's and have been using it for 3 years.

There is no whey protein. I'll post a picture of the ingredients if I can figure it out.

I just saw this question raised and contacted the company. They got back to me the very next day and directed me to this link: http://www.gardenoflife.com/Portals/11/Documents/Raw-Protein-Safety-Quick-Reference_2-7-14.pdfI will continue to use this product with confidence as I have been using it for years.

Not knowing the answer, I checked the label and the only ingredient which could have been from an animal source was zinc. I called the company and they stated the zinc was not from an animal source. The product should be safe for vegetarians.
