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.

I always thought Hema was animal-based, but I had trouble confirming this online. What I did find were plenty of links to Amazon for a Vegetarian Formula of Hema-Plex. Try searching those terms and see if you go to a different product page, if it's important?

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.

The protein is 100% whey based but there is a small % (most likely less than 1 - 2%) of soy lecithin as an emulsifier. Since lecithin is a highly refined ingredient there is little to no protein left so it is an incidental ingredient. If it is an allergen concern, recommendation is to avoid. If you are not concerned about allergen, this is an excellent product.

Hello, Mariah-- To address your specific points regarding Orac Energy Protein and Greens: 1) All "common" fruits or vegetables are listed as organic on the label. Some thing,s such as quercetin, milk thistle, and a number of others are are listed ingredients but no claims they are organic. 2) A full serving contains 3 grams of carbohydrates. about a 2/3 teaspoon in terms of sugars. Not bad when you consider (as I've heard) we need 10 teaspoons daily for good nutrition. There is a gram of fiber which plays into the carbohydrate/sugar ration in some ways that I'm not too familiar with. Fructose isn't listed specifically. 3) The maker claims Orac Energy Protein and Greens is is 100 vegan, so no there can't be any whey. Hope this helps. Brad Stephan

Yes, it's one of the few products for Whey protein that is organic and that comes from Grass-Fed cows. I use to buy it from Whole Foods, but it is a bit less expensive here, and they deliver it fast and well-packaged.

If you mean the plain then yes. All of the flavored Orgains are great even the vegan. I avoid plain in any protein shake as it us just that "plain".

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.

I think it is comparable to other whey proteins. I take it pretty consistently so I'm not sure what my results would be without using it. I will say that I use this just to supplement the natural proteins I eat in my everyday diet. I usually just take one scoop a day; any more than that your body just flushes it in your urine...or at least that's what I've been told. I have stuck with it because I think it tastes the bests.

My label doesn't mention whey.It says " 100 % non-GMO pea protein isolate from yellow peas. We make drinks with fruits and vegetables adding this protein. Hope this helps.

Hello Ross, We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. As the product information does not indicate that the gelatin used is vegetarian, we cannot guarantee that it is. I have forwarded this concern to the appropriate department for their further resolution. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Best in health, Jessi V.

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.

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....

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.

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

The only thing in there is the egg whites, no soy, dairy, or sugar is in it. That's the reason why I chose this over any other protein. I only buy the plain egg white protein because I didn't want any other additives. I usually mix it into something, such as the "Naked" juices/smoothies. I have one in the morning & make a double size to take to work. When I sip on it..it keeps my hunger away. I actually have this on auto ship for once a month & usually end up buying another one. It's the best way that I've found to get enough protein for the day without all of the calories. I hope this helps you The only thing in there is the egg whites, no soy, dairy, or sugar is in it.

Hi there! We're obviously partial, but Source is Non-GMO Project Verified and American Humane Association certified while Raw is not. We also tell you where we get our whey (Northern California farms) while they are very vague. Finally, they're really not "raw," that's just a marketing tactic.
