What is protein?
Proteins serve as the building blocks of our body. They are made up of amino acids, which together form a protein. Some of these amino acids can be produced by our body. However, there are nine amino acids that we must obtain through our diet, these are the essential amino acids.
Protein-rich food
Most people will think of protein as meat, eggs, or quark, but we find protein in many more foods. Fish, nuts, grains, and legumes are also rich in protein and can therefore be an important source of protein in your diet.

High-quality proteins: hydrolyzed whey isolate
We distinguish different types of protein powders. In addition to the vegan varieties that usually have a base of pea, rice, or bean proteins, we have whey protein powders. Whey is a byproduct of cheese with a naturally high protein content and better known by the English name: whey.
There are different types of whey, such as concentrate, isolate, and hydrolyzed isolate. For the production of Clear Whey, lactose, fats, and carbohydrates are filtered out of the whey concentrate. This gives us a whey isolate with a high protein content.
Increased absorption through hydrolysis
Next, the whey isolate is hydrolyzed. In this process, the proteins are broken down into smaller pieces and pre-digested by the addition of enzymes. The end result is a hydrolyzed whey isolate with improved absorption.
Better solubility
Thanks to the hydrolysis of the proteins, the solubility of Clear Whey also improves significantly. Shake your shaker a few times and you have a delicious clear protein lemonade!
Easier to digest than regular shake
Lactose is a sugar that naturally occurs in milk and dairy products. Whey concentrate contains lactose, but during the production of whey isolate, this specific sugar is largely filtered out. As a result, Clear Whey Isolate contains less than 0.2% lactose, making the clear protein lemonade easier to digest than regular protein shakes.
Complete amino acid profile
All protein sources contain all different amino acids, but their ratios can vary significantly. Proteins with a complete amino acid profile contain amino acids in ratios that align well with our needs. Some proteins contain relatively less of certain essential amino acids, making their amino acid profile less complete.
The protein in Clear Whey Isolate has a complete amino acid profile. It contains all essential amino acids, in optimal ratios.
Essential amino acids and branched chain amino acids (BCAA)
Of the 20 amino acids that our body needs, we can produce or convert some from other amino acids. However, there are nine amino acids that our body cannot produce and must be obtained from our diet. The proteins in Clear Whey Isolate consist of up to 47% of these essential amino acids!
Three important essential amino acids are the BCAAs leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Clear Whey Isolate consists of 20% of these BCAAs, in the scientifically supported ratio of 2:1:1.
Mocktail tip
As a clear protein lemonade, Clear Whey Isolate is also perfect for mixing with other drinks. For example, try this tropical mocktail!
- 300 milliliters of coconut water or pineapple juice
- 1 scoop of Clear Whey (25 grams)
- 100 milliliters of sparkling water
- Lime slice
- Mix the coconut water or pineapple juice with the Clear Whey and let it sit for 5 minutes. Top off with the sparkling water and the lime slice. Enjoy!
Tip! Pineapple juice contains sugar. Do you want the highest possible percentage of protein in your drink? Then choose coconut water.
