What is protein?
Proteins serve as the building blocks of our body. They are composed of amino acids, which together form a protein. Some of these amino acids can be made by our body. However, there are nine amino acids that we must obtain through our diet; these are the essential amino acids.

Protein-rich food
Most people think of meat, eggs, or cottage cheese when they hear protein, but protein is found in many more foods. Fish, nuts, grains, and legumes are also rich in protein and can be an important source of protein in your diet.

High-quality proteins: hydrolysed whey isolate
We distinguish between different types of protein powders. Besides the vegan variants, which usually have a base of pea, rice, or bean proteins, we have whey protein powders. Whey is a by-product of cheese with a naturally high protein content, better known by its English name: whey.

There are different types of whey, such as concentrate, isolate, and hydrolysed isolate. For the production of Clear Whey, lactose, fats, and carbohydrates are filtered out of the whey concentrate. This gives us a whey isolate with a high protein content.

Increased absorption through hydrolysation
The whey isolate is then hydrolysed. In this process, the proteins are broken down into smaller pieces and pre-digested by the addition of enzymes. The end result is a hydrolysed whey isolate with improved absorbability.

Better solubility
Thanks to the hydrolysation of the proteins, the solubility of Clear Whey is also significantly improved. Shake your shaker a few times, and you have a delicious clear protein lemonade!

Easier to digest than regular shake
Lactose is a sugar naturally found in milk and dairy products. Whey concentrate contains lactose, but when making whey isolate, this specific sugar is largely filtered out. As a result, Clear Whey Isolate contains less than 0.2% lactose, making the clear protein lemonade easier to digest than the regular protein shake.

Complete amino acid profile
All protein sources contain all different amino acids, but the ratio can vary greatly. Proteins with a complete amino acid profile contain amino acids in ratios that closely match our needs. Some proteins contain relatively less of certain essential amino acids, making their amino acid profile less complete.

The protein in Clear Whey Isolate has a complete amino acid profile. It contains all essential amino acids, in the optimal ratios.

Essential amino acids and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA)
Of the 20 amino acids our body needs, we can produce or convert some from other amino acids. However, there are nine amino acids that our body cannot produce, and we must obtain them from our diet. The proteins in Clear Whey Isolate consist of 47% of these essential amino acids!

Three important essential amino acids are the BCAAs leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Clear Whey Isolate consists of 20% of these BCAAs, in the scientifically backed ratio of 2:1:1.
