Whey Protein Hydrolysate - The Highest Quality Protein
Whey protein hydrolysate, also known as hydrolyzed whey protein, is a protein whose amino acids and peptides have been broken down into smaller chains of aminos. It requires higher processing than whey isolate and whey concentrate. It is the highest quality protein. It is easy on the digestive system and has a higher absorption rate. This makes it the most effective whey to take either pre or post workout. It has been proved by research that peptide based products taken during or after exercise improves the nitrogen balance in the body and enhances muscle growth. Because the protein content is very high a smaller amount needs to be ingested. It is absorbed anywhere between 10 to 30 minutes.
One strike against it is that the hydrolysis process makes its taste very bitter. The bitterness is determined by the level of the hydrolysis process, more hydrolyzed whey will taste bitterer. Hydrolysis costs the manufacturer more money so as a rule only around 20% of the protein supplement will be hydrolyzed. But it is the most digestible protein for human consumption.
It is partially pre-digested which makes it easier to absorb. It goes through a rigorous refining process, which make it faster as well as easier to digest and further improves its effectiveness at building muscle mass.
Dairy Proteins at Land O’ Lakes has developed the PowerPro Whey Protein Hydrolysate which provides superior solubility and bioavailability for nutritional drinks and product formulas specifically designed for athletes. The base whey protein used in the hydrolysis process is made by an advanced ultrafiltration/microfiltration technique that gently concentrates it in its most native form. This makes it more soluble and digestible compared to protein beverage formulations made in the past. This product has a very high Biological Value due to the presence of free essential amino acids in the form of free amino acids and bioactive peptides. It has a bland taste and odor and very low bitterness. Besides nutrition and flavor, it is visually, texturally and structurally appealing too. Another product is Whey Protein Hydrolysate 4520 in which the protient 4520 is a granulated whey protein hydrolysate manufactured with a proprietary, enzymatic process. This item contains a 90% protein level with great bioavailability. It is easy to digest and absorb and has a minimum of off flavors and bitterness. This product can be used in tablets, beverages and other health and wellness applications. Mypro Hydrolysed Whey Protein is produced by controlled enzyme treatment of whey protein. The process is very gently and stringently controlled which keeps the essential amino acids intact and retains the high quality of the protein. The degree of hydrolysis is 13% and it does have a bitter taste due to its pre-digested state. It is very highly rated for its solubility and nutritional value. Due to the purity of whey protein hydrolysate the price is on the higher side. But its health benefits far outweigh this drawback. One thing to keep in mind is that many manufacturers add just 1% or 2% of hydrolysed whey so they can put it on the label. This offers hardly any advantages so make sure you know what you are buying.
