Non-gmo Whey Protein Isolate

Non-GMO whey protein isolate is a highly purified form of whey protein, a byproduct of cheese production. It is made by further processing whey to remove most of the fat and lactose, resulting in a protein concentration typically above 90%. The 'non-GMO' label indicates that the cows producing the milk were not fed genetically modified organisms.

Manufacturers add whey protein isolate to boost the protein content of foods and beverages. It is commonly found in protein powders, nutritional shakes, bars, and sports nutrition products. Its neutral flavor and excellent solubility make it versatile for various applications.

Whey protein isolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a complete protein, containing all essential amino acids, and is a popular supplement for muscle growth and repair. JECFA has evaluated whey protein and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence suggests it can support satiety and may play a role in weight management when part of a balanced diet.
