Non-gmo Whey Protein Concentrate

Whey protein concentrate (WPC) is a protein-rich powder made from whey, a liquid byproduct of cheese production. It is produced by removing enough milk components (like fat and lactose) from liquid whey to concentrate the protein content. The "non-GMO" label indicates that the whey was sourced from cows that were not fed genetically modified organisms.

Manufacturers add WPC to foods to boost protein content. It is often found in protein powders, nutritional supplements, and sports drinks. It can also be used in baked goods, dairy products, and infant formulas to improve texture and nutritional value.

Whey protein concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated whey proteins. While generally considered safe and beneficial for muscle growth and repair, some individuals may experience digestive discomfort.
