Do you know the difference between denatured and undenatured protein?






Unfortunately,nearly every single whey protein supplement out there is denatured.
Fortunately, the whey protein shakes I take is not one of them. I'll explain in a second. When talking about whey protein and how its processed or treated, not all processes and whey proteins are created equally. 

Whey is the byproduct of cheese making. Most companies use salts, enzymes, acid or heat to separate out the curds from the whey and casein. You can see this if you have ever tried to make cheese at home. These four processes absolutely change whey and casein. This type is called "denatured" meaning the proteins are altered through chemical or physical means so that some of its original properties are lost or diminished at best.

 There is another way in which the curds and whey (reminds me of Little Miss Muffet) and the casein can be separated. It's a patented exclusive process called cold, ion exchange micro--filtration. This process does not use the above mentioned 4 processes. This is a different process and how the whey protein shakes (created from "undenatured" whey protein concentrate, milk protein contrated and low--heat, non--fat dry milk) that I take every morning as I rush out the door is created. 

This process is incredibly expensive but protects the whey in its natural God--given state, protecting all the dipeptided and tripeptides, yielding an amazing amino acid profile (build blocks of your cells) also. These undenatured proteins are then cold air dried in a huge spray--drying drum, using no heat and then the proteins are carefully sealed in crates.

Our whey comes from New Zealand organic, free--range cows that are grass fed (free from herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics, steroids, hormones, etc). The cows are milked and rested according to season. These are happy cows.This whey is exclusive to Isagenix. It is whey better!
