Hi there, the whey protein is a by-product of making cheese, so it comes from milk. Whey protein isolate, although it's made from dairy, is so pure that it really has no carbs, fat, and no lactose. Isopure basically takes the protein out of the whey (lactose, fat, carbs), so you are left with only protein. Hope this helps a little!

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 for dutch chocolate flavor says it contains Bovine Serum Albumin 6-8%- serum is whats left after blood is filtered and allowed to clot. So technically not vegetarian.

Soy's not the only vegan protein source out there. There are loads of others without the side-effects of soy. Search in Amazon on Google for vegetarian protein or vegan protein!

Also, if you want a zero carb high protein drink that you can mix with water and will taste like fruit juice, try Nectar Fuzzy Navel, it's cheaper and tastes better, it's my favorite protein of all time.

This product is vegan, meaning it is free of animals and animal by-products. Whey is milk derived, therefore there is no whey in this product whatsoever.

The product looks like is gluten free. For the other questions I don't have an answer. However, like I said before I didn't get a chance to taste it because of the warning label, which reads that could produce harm to the reproductive organs and has minerals that are pretty harmful to your health if you have them more the amount is allowed daily. Now, don't forget that every protein product are concentrated so to me it's not ideal to have this protein or another. Also, if you like you could call them up so they could answer all your questions. Hope that helps

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.
1992141
No, this product is not organic. There is no USDA Organic symbol, and in the ingredient list it states it is only "Whey Protein Concentrate" all organic products label their ingredients as "organic". So it would read "Organic Whey Protein Concentrate" if it where organic, but it is not. They try to trick buyers into thinking it is organic by making their business name contain "organic" at the end. It is an old trick that fools many.

Good Evening Mimi,The Bovine ingredient comes from Cows, not sure if the glandular extract comes from local cows or from out of the country. I suggest contacting The Standard Process Company. I wish you the best on your path to wellness, always do good research and be proactive.Sincerely,iamxoxo

If you mean the plain then yes. All of the flavored Orgains are great even the vegan. I avoid plain in any protein shake as it us just that "plain".

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

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.

It's lab generated, in sterile environments. I don't know how they gain the protein though. Here's my question: Why do you eat kosher meat only? Isn't it because of nutritional value, and smaller toxicity? Protein shakes are most nutritional, and have a way lower toxicity than any meat out there; even if they would derive the proteins from pig meat. However I do not believe they get their proteins from real meat. So my answer would answer your question only halfway. If you're concerned about toxicity and nutrition, I'd say it's Kosher. But if you want to be absolutely sure; to trace back how they get their protein (protein is protein, whether or not it comes from cow, horse, or pig meat, egg white, or soy), you'd have to contact the manufacturer. More then not they'd say their protein is gotten from Whey (cow milk)

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.

In other words is this gelatin made of cattle or swine? Hi Orianna. It's probably made of 'both' as most gelatins are a combination of both cow and pig by-products (such as left over skin). I was gonna say that it's not such a big deal since it's really only a tiny amount but now that I've been asked to put it into words, yeah, not such a good thing. It's very easy to overlook such minute ingredients but overall it can (and often does) make a difference. It's apparent now that I must have been 'asleep' to have overlooked this factor. I will continue to purchase 'activated charcoal' but no longer from Nature's Way. We should always look for the 'Vegetarian Capsule' label before making a purchase. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! ;)

I am not an expert on the Vegan stuff. I do things Holistically. I have had some serious problems with digestion, changed myself to the Paleo Diet, helped me tremendously. I had to get away from all grains, they are treated with chemicals to produce a higher yield and in turn they cause a lot of health issues for the consumers. I did some research on this, not a lot but learned enough to figure things out, that pertained to me. In answer to your question, the product looks as close to vegan as you can get, without producing the products yourself.

I did not know the answer to that, but reading the other answers, I guess I will always purchase the vegetarian type. Good to know. Thank you.

http://designerwhey.com/about-us/faq/questions/what-is-"denaturation"-are-designer-whey-products-made-with-non-denatured-protein/If you read their above link it states that there is virtually no denatured proteins but that it is impossible to state 100% because of the temperatures used during processing (as with all items that are packaged). I would read their website fully to know all the information about this protein.

This one has a large spread of digestive enzymes, among the most complete that I've found in digestive enzyme supplements. If there is a specific enzyme for digesting gluten, I don't know about it, and that isn't specified on the label. And I also don't know about casein. Maybe this is something I need to learn about, however this does help me to digest both (although I usually try to avoid them in my diet). This has good enzymes for protein and fat, and a complete spread of vegetarian enzymes. That's as much as I can tell you.

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.
