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.

You'd have to check with the manufacturer. They call it a natural product, but "natural" does not have any standardized or regulatory meaning. Everyone is free to decide for themselves what is natural. It's also vegan/vegetarian. You'd have to look at the ingredient list and decide for yourself if there are any ingredients that you don't want to ingest.

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".

I just saw this question raised and contacted the company. They got back to me the very next day and directed me to this link: http://www.gardenoflife.com/Portals/11/Documents/Raw-Protein-Safety-Quick-Reference_2-7-14.pdfI will continue to use this product with confidence as I have been using it for years.

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

milk is basically liquid meat it has a lot of chemicals in it that are given to the cattle just use New Zealand whey whey that is after everything is spun out and they give no chemicals or products to cattle there it works even if you have a milk allergy what is what you want but I ordered the New Zealand whey you can get it at amazon.com I have no financial interest in this company and I use it all the time for protein muscle milk has I believe and you do not want soy because soy is an estrogen producing product which could cause diseases

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

It's whey as in from a cow. (Milk based) the ingredients are clean. I'm sensitive to a lot of artificial junk and I find this to be very easy in the stomach and digestive system. Ingredients are certified whey protein from cows that are graze on organic pastures.

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.

It is my understanding it is 100% whey protein from grass fed cows. Nothing else is added.

The product does not say it is vegetarian, although it is soy free, milk and gluten free, and in a bottle that is BPA free. The company also makes a vegetarian version of this (I got it at Vitamin Cottage). The only difference in the ingredients is in the capsule - this one has a capsule made from gelatin and water. The vegetarian version has a capsule made from cellulose and water. So I guess it depends on how strict a vegetarian you are. I do think it is a wonderful product, and my whole family takes it. Hope this helps!

It's lab generated, in sterile environments. I don't know how they gain the protein though. Here's my question: Why do you eat kosher meat only? Isn't it because of nutritional value, and smaller toxicity? Protein shakes are most nutritional, and have a way lower toxicity than any meat out there; even if they would derive the proteins from pig meat. However I do not believe they get their proteins from real meat. So my answer would answer your question only halfway. If you're concerned about toxicity and nutrition, I'd say it's Kosher. But if you want to be absolutely sure; to trace back how they get their protein (protein is protein, whether or not it comes from cow, horse, or pig meat, egg white, or soy), you'd have to contact the manufacturer. More then not they'd say their protein is gotten from Whey (cow milk)

I am sorry, K. Vee, I do not know the answer to your question. My assumption--and I repeat "assumption"--is that it is denatured in the pasteurization process, but I've not felt it to be an important issue for me specifically. I am not looking for "results" as a young bodybuilder would. I am a senior male, placed on a zero-fat diet by a cardiovascular surgeon, following a fem-pop bypass in my left leg. I have difficulty in getting sufficient protein in my diet, thus the supplement. I have found that I can keep up very strenuous activity all day when I use the whey protein supplement, which was my goal.

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.

This is actually a difficult question to answer as there is much debate on the topic. Truly, it depends on your goals. If you are in a "Paleo Challenge", you'll want to consult the rules (some people say whey is not paleo because it is derived from milk). However, if you are simply searching for a healthier lifestyle, but you prefer to supplement your protein intake, then whey is a great option. For the active athlete/person on a paleo lifestyle diet, protein intake is as vital as sleeping. Also, in most whey proteins the irritants and allergens found in actual cow's milk have been removed. Whey isolates are preferred by most athletes for the easy access to increased protein versus price. I hope this helps.

Dear Customer, We clicked on the link Amazon sent with your complaint. We fail to see anywhere in the listing that it claims to be vegan. It does not state it in the title, the details, nor the product description. Perhaps Amazon sent the wrong link? While this product is listed by many sellers and on multiple listing for example one pack, two pack, etc. our company has never listed it as vegan. Our recommendation is to find the actual incorrect listing and notify Amazon themselves. It may be that Amazon has already made the correction, without seeing what you are referring to we can't be sure. Sincerely, HealthHelp
