Hydrolyzed Milk Protein Isolate

Hydrolyzed milk protein isolate is a protein source made from milk. It is produced by breaking down milk proteins into smaller pieces, called peptides, through a process called hydrolysis. This process can make the protein easier to digest.

Manufacturers add hydrolyzed milk protein isolate to foods as a source of protein and to improve texture. It is often found in protein bars, nutritional supplements, and baked goods.

Hydrolyzed milk protein isolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, which is essential for muscle building and repair. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk proteins, but specific evaluations for hydrolyzed milk protein isolate may vary. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
