Is your Whey Protein denatured?Updated 8 days ago

We occasionally get asked if the heat used in processing 'damages' our protein. The short answer is: No. While the structure of the protein may change through a process called denaturation, its ability to help you build muscle and recover remains exactly the same.

What is Denaturation? Think of a protein like a folded-up piece of origami. Denaturation is simply the process of 'unfolding' that paper. This can happen due to heat, changes in pH, or even mechanical stress (like whisking an egg).

• The Reality: Unfolding the paper doesn't change the fact that it is still paper. Similarly, denaturing protein doesn't destroy the amino acids—the essential building blocks your body needs.

• A Familiar Example: When you cook a steak or fry an egg, you are denaturing the protein. This actually makes the protein more digestible and easier for your body to use!

How we process True WPI: Our Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) undergoes a process called 'spray-drying.' This involves a brief period of heat to turn the liquid whey into the fine, high-quality powder you find in our pouches.

The True Guarantee:While this heat may cause some minor denaturation (unfolding), it does not reduce the amino acid content or the nutritional value of the protein. Your body will still absorb and utilize the protein perfectly to support your muscle growth and recovery goals
