WPI Sample Box

Protein powder is essentially a concentrated source of protein derived from either an animal or plant source. Whey protein is a high-quality, complete protein naturally found in cows' milk. Whey is separated as a by-product of cheesemaking, when enzymes are added to the milk to encourage coagulation, separating the liquid from the solids (curds). The liquid content (whey) is strained off and filtered to remove most of the fat and lactose.

For WPC80, the liquid is micro-filtrated and for WPI90 it goes through a second ultra-filtration process that removes further fat and lactose resulting in a more refined whey. The filtered liquid is then evaporated and dried to become a pure whey powder, which is how it arrives at the True Protein HQ, where we blend it with all-natural flavours and package it on site.

The key difference between the two whey protein powders is refinement. Both powders go through a micro-filtration process in their raw state, but WPI90 goes through a further ultra-filtration process that strips away more of the lactose and other elements to give a purer whey with a higher protein content of around 90%.

We have opted to use stevia to sweeten our flavoured proteins. Stevia is derived naturally from a plant grown in South America and is around 200-300 times sweeter than sugar. We therefore only need very small quantities of this naturally produced sweetener to flavour our protein powders.

There is only a trace amount of lactose in our WPI90 protein powder due to the ultra-filtration process it goes through to remove the lactose. You may be able to consume it if you are lactose intolerant or lactose sensitive but should seek advice from your doctor first if you are concerned.

Yes, it is perfectly safe to drink whey protein without working out, especially if you have a low-protein diet or are recovering from illness. However, it is important to review your own individual requirements to avoid excess protein consumption. It's also important not to replace whole food sources with protein shakes. Protein supplements should ideally be used alongside a healthy balanced diet.

If using your protein alongside an exercise regime then we recommend enjoying a protein shake within an hour of finishing your workout to enhance recovery. Protein shakes can also be consumed at any time throughout the day, depending on your individual needs. The latest scientific research suggests that consumption of 1.2-1.6g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day is an appropriate protein target (1). For example, if your current weight is 80kg then your dietary protein requirements are between 96-128g per day. Our protein can also be used as an ingredient in both sweet and savoury recipes.

Yes, as WPI90 is so low in carbs (approx. 1.9g per 30g serve with water) it is suitable for taking when following the low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet.
