How Is Whey Protein Made?

Whey protein is a milk protein and is a dairy product. It’s a protein-packed punch and contains amino acids - specifically leucine, which assists in protein synthesis and muscle formation.

Myprotein's Impact Whey Isolate is rated first for both value and quality by independent testers LabDoor, with Impact Whey Protein not far behind in second and third place, respectively. Let’s see how Myprotein's whey protein is manufactured and what are the processes carried out to ensure the maximum quality ensuring greater health benefits associated with whey.

How Whey Protein Is Made

To make things easy to understand, let’s depict the complete process visually. The whey protein manufacturing undergoes a set of steps as shown in the image below. Hereon, I would like to take the opportunity to explain each and every step.

Step 1

Whey protein is a dairy product and is obtained from cow’s milk. The best cattle farms are chosen and it's ensured that the cattle are healthy and properly fed. The cattle breeding farms are located on the outskirts of cities, away from noises and pollution. Sometimes the farms might be 3-4 hours’ drive from the city. The farm breeds over 1000 cows which are capable of producing high-quality milk which is free from pesticides and also organic. The milk obtained from the process above has around 3.5 % protein, 4% fat and 4.6 % lactose.
