Honest protein

Whey protein and lecithin. Nothing else.

Our instant whey is whey protein and sunflower lecithin, nothing more. Its protein content is not inflated with creatine, glycine or other cheap nitrogen sources, a practice known as amino spiking that still turns up in the market.

What you can check: the protein is declared on a dry-matter basis in the specification, and every batch arrives with its Certificate of Analysis. On request we have amino-acid profile, true protein and contaminants verified by an accredited laboratory before release.

Typical amino-acid values for whey protein, per 100 g of protein: about 10.6 g leucine, 22.6 g branched-chain amino acids and 47.4 g essential amino acids (published reference values; batch data on request).

Formulation guide

How much WPC80 Instant goes into what?

Typical inclusion rates from our specification, as a starting point for your recipe.

ProductShare of the blend
Flavoured whey shake80–95% (a 30 g scoop gives about 24 g protein)
Single-serve sticks and sachets70–90% (25–35 g per serving)
Breakfast and meal shakes40–60%
All-in-one and weight-gain powders25–50%
Protein oats, porridge and pancakes20–35%
Protein coffee and hot chocolate15–30%, prepared below 70 °C
Bakery premixes10–25%
Heat and acidity: whey proteins start to denature above about 70 °C, and standard whey turns cloudy in acidic drinks. For clear drinks below pH 4, use Clear WPI90.

Questions we hear

Whey protein, answered.

What is the difference between WPC80 and WPI90?

WPC80 is a whey protein concentrate with at least 80% protein in dry matter; it keeps some fat and lactose, which gives a creamier shake at a lower price. WPI90 is an isolate with at least 90% protein and very little fat and lactose, for lean and low-lactose products.

What does “instant” mean?

Instant grades are treated with a small amount of sunflower lecithin so the powder wets and dissolves quickly in a shaker, without lumps. Regular grades are for products where the protein is mixed in during processing, such as bars and bakery.

Can I make a clear protein drink?

Yes, with Clear WPI90. It is acid-stable and dissolves clear in drinks around pH 3, like a juice or iced tea. Standard whey, even an isolate, turns such a drink cloudy.

How much do I have to buy?

Bulk protein starts from one pallet; quantities and prices are quoted on request. Finished private-label protein powders start at 500 units per SKU.

Which documents do I get?

A specification sheet, a Certificate of Analysis for every batch, allergen and GMO declarations, and halal or kosher certificates where the grade holds them. Test methods and amino-acid profiles are available on request.

Do you also make the finished protein powder?

Yes. We blend, flavour, fill and label protein powders under your brand. See sports nutrition for ready-to-brand formulas.
