What it is

Hydrolyzed whey protein isolate is a highly purified form of whey protein, a byproduct of cheese production. It is made by breaking down the protein into smaller pieces (peptides) through a process called hydrolysis, which can make it easier to digest and absorb.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add it to foods as a source of protein. It is commonly found in protein bars, meal replacement supplements, and sports nutrition products like protein powders and recovery drinks.

Health notes

Hydrolyzed whey protein isolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of essential amino acids that support muscle growth and repair. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey proteins. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

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