What it is

Hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate is a protein source made from whey, a byproduct of cheese production. The whey is processed to break down its proteins into smaller pieces, making it easier to digest and absorb. This results in a concentrated powder form.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add it to foods to increase the protein content. It is commonly found in protein bars, sports drinks, meal replacements, and other nutritional supplements. Its solubility and digestibility make it a versatile ingredient for these products.

Health notes

Hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey proteins. While generally considered safe, individuals with milk allergies should avoid it.

Allergen info

Hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
