Hi there, the whey protein is a by-product of making cheese, so it comes from milk. Whey protein isolate, although it's made from dairy, is so pure that it really has no carbs, fat, and no lactose. Isopure basically takes the protein out of the whey (lactose, fat, carbs), so you are left with only protein. Hope this helps a little!

Vegetarian means no meat, as opposed to VEGAN, which would be nothing coming FROM an animal. It IS vegetarian. It is NOT vegan, as it comes from milk. If you are VEGAN, you will need a soy protein instead.

the description for dutch chocolate flavor says it contains Bovine Serum Albumin 6-8%- serum is whats left after blood is filtered and allowed to clot. So technically not vegetarian.

Soy's not the only vegan protein source out there. There are loads of others without the side-effects of soy. Search in Amazon on Google for vegetarian protein or vegan protein!

Also, if you want a zero carb high protein drink that you can mix with water and will taste like fruit juice, try Nectar Fuzzy Navel, it's cheaper and tastes better, it's my favorite protein of all time.

It is vegetable protein, you can read the ingredients at her website, JJ Virgin. It is delicious! I love it and drink one every morning, sometimes 2 a day. I add beets, kale leaves or chard. So yummy!

There is no whey protein. I'll post a picture of the ingredients if I can figure it out.

It should not contain whey if it is advertised as a pea protein, also nothing on the container refers to whey. I hope this is helpful.

good question. honestly i'm not sure but I don't believe much of Dr. Mercola's claims--he said on his website his whey protein had 1 or 2 ingredients but it doesn't, he preaches organic--the whey protein isn't USDA certified organic. If he said its was rBGH/rBST hormone free not sure I'd believe it.

I can't answer that for you. I used up the bag I had. I think if you click on the picture of it and see what is in it, it would help you to decide. I am now using a Vegan pea protein that only costs 20 as compared to that one which is 60. You can either at Amazon.com

I am not an expert on the Vegan stuff. I do things Holistically. I have had some serious problems with digestion, changed myself to the Paleo Diet, helped me tremendously. I had to get away from all grains, they are treated with chemicals to produce a higher yield and in turn they cause a lot of health issues for the consumers. I did some research on this, not a lot but learned enough to figure things out, that pertained to me. In answer to your question, the product looks as close to vegan as you can get, without producing the products yourself.

I don't know. It does not seem to indicate that it is cold process on the can. According to the website, "Our factory is unique because it can batch process different types of whey and keep them all separate. This is what makes it possible for us to make organic cow, rBGH-free cow, and goat whey protein products. We make extensive use of heat exchange to maintain cool temperatures throughout our ultrafiltration process. Once the whey protein is concentrated, we carefully dry it to preserve its nutritive value that ensures you are getting a non-denatured source of whey protein." http://www.teraswhey.com/about-teraswhey/manufacture.html I don't know.

No, this product is not organic. There is no USDA Organic symbol, and in the ingredient list it states it is only "Whey Protein Concentrate" all organic products label their ingredients as "organic". So it would read "Organic Whey Protein Concentrate" if it where organic, but it is not. They try to trick buyers into thinking it is organic by making their business name contain "organic" at the end. It is an old trick that fools many.

Of course.At least that is what it claims. Organic which means the grass also had to be organicly grown for the cows. That is organic. However, the real concern should be the method of process that had been used to create the protein because the market is fluded with organic protein and to distinguish which is the superior is the methods of process. So your main concern should completely depend on the merhod of process.

It is important to understand the difference as to whether a product "contains" animal or other ingredients, or is "derived from" animal or other ingredients. The distinction is that enzymes such as the ones we use in this product are highly concentrated and isolated from the source materials - whether that be from fruits, from pork or from fungi. This is very common and typical in the supplement industry. What this means is that someone with an allergy or other sensitivity to papaya for example, should not have to be concerned about taking the papain enzyme that has been isolated from papaya. Likewise regarding animal-based and other enzyme sources, however if a person practices a philosophical or religious avoidance of using ANY animal-sourced products, then we totally respect that and this is why we do not make any claim about animal-free ingredients. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for asking.

The list of ingredients are too long to list, the main thing is the protiens are vegetarian based ie. pea protein, potato protein and chorella protein.There is no lactose, whey or fructose in this product. All other ingredients listed are from friuts and vegetables. It is a great tasting product and I recommend trying it as I have used many protein powders before and this one supplies 22g of protein and ONLY 5g of sugar which is not from any artifical sweeteners it is from natural organic sugar cane juice.

That frustrates me too. Why mess up a otherwise great product? Practically everything is using this crap now. I think I will try the Raw Organic Whey - USDA Certified Organic Whey Protein, 12oz next. But the shipping is killing my pockets. I wish I could get it locally.

I do not know. I actually ended up tossing it. Everyone has told me it is one of the best tasting wheys out there. Buy it has a strong after taste. Even if I put it in a smoothie. I just couldn't get used it. It does contain a lot of protien but it was expenive just to toss it....

Hey there! i must say the soy protein is sooo much better i accidentally bought the pea one now i have like five that i need to drink. its tolerable especially if u are putting it in fruit, but next time I'm definitely getting soy

Just got to know what wulsen factor is thanks to google. I dont know if it does have it as its more of a scientific value and Im thinking cant be judged by taste.Only thing I can say is the older generation (in India) who used organic ghee seemed to have less joint issues even on a vegetarian diet.

Hi, thank you for your question. I have been drinking this Soy protein. I can give you my comments.1. No for body builder, 2. Yes for LACTOSE-INTOLERANT and 3. No for BULKING PHASE.If you want no. 1 & 3 yes, you may have to find whey protein from Soy or plants. Hope this helps.thanks
