Whey protein is a protein derived from milk. It is the liquid byproduct obtained during cheese production. This watery portion of milk separates from the curds during the cheese-making process and is rich in proteins and essential amino acids.

By consuming a serving of Protelicious Whey Protein daily for a few weeks, you can expect to see various health benefits. These include a boosted immune system, reduced cellular inflammation (a factor in aging), improved focus (particularly beneficial for kids at school), enhanced tone and texture of your skin (a welcome benefit for teens), more stable blood sugar levels, and improved sleep cycles.

Choosing whey protein from grass-fed cows is important because it results in cleaner dairy and meat that are free from growth hormones and pesticides commonly found in industrially raised cows. Grass-fed dairy also offers a significantly different nutritional profile, including more healthy omega-3 fatty acids and less saturated fat compared to dairy from commercial feedlots. Protelicious whey is sourced from New Zealand grass-fed cows, ensuring both ethical and health-conscious choices. As whey is highly absorbable, it's best to avoid whey from industrial sources where growth hormones and antibiotics can be present in the dairy products.

Yes, gourmet whey protein concentrate by Protelicious contains about 7g of lactose per 100g, or approximately 1.75g per 25g serving. This is well below the typical tolerance threshold of 12g per serving for lactose-intolerant individuals. In comparison, a 250ml serving of milk contains about 12.5g of lactose. Most lactose-intolerant consumers can safely include this protein in their daily diet without adverse effects. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider before trying new supplements.

Protelicious uses whey protein concentrate, which has about 80% protein content. Concentrate is less processed than isolate, resulting in slightly less protein per 100 grams. Moreover, concentrate is significantly better tasting, making it a clear choice for Protelicious.

The main difference between animal and vegetable protein sources lies in their amino acid profiles and how quickly our bodies can absorb them. Animal proteins generally have a superior essential amino acid profile compared to plant proteins. Essential amino acids, which the body cannot synthesize, must be obtained through diet, and there are eight essential amino acids among the 20 different amino acids. While plant proteins can be digested, certain sources (like soybeans, peas, and fava beans) contain anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors, lectins, and tannins that can hinder protein utilization and amino acid absorption. Whey protein is the most effective protein for the human body, offering a superior amino acid profile, higher absorbability, and greater quantity of usable protein. Animal protein provides approximately five times more usable protein per gram than plant-based protein. A healthy approach is to consume plenty of vegetables with meals and use grass-fed whey protein smoothies to fill any protein gaps.

To maintain freshness, store Protelicious whey protein in a cool, dry place, and keep the container tightly sealed. Avoid exposure to moisture and heat to preserve its quality.
