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.

The description on Amazon does have the statement about whey. My guess is someone at Amazon entered the wrong info. Per the container this is 100% Pure, Non-GMO Pea Protein isolate from yellow peas. Also I can tell you I like peas but detest split pea soup. I had to play around with the amount of this powder to use so I didn't feel like I was drinking pea soup. From that, I know this is pea protein. Hopes it helps.

Aminos are the building blocks of protein. With that said, your actual questions would be. What is syntha 6 protein bioavailability? Ie the acutual protein my body will use. Syntha 6 is actually 6 proteins in one which make it more popular then "on whey" for obviously the different digestion stages. A scoop has 22 grams of which 80% is bioavailability is dependent on you. "Ie before or after workout before or after bed. In between meals your basically piss out your money because the body brakes it down to the amino acids needed at the time. It's an excellent maintance protein. You want more protein bioavailability for your money look into isopure or my favorite to stack with syntha 6 which is humapro

It is important to understand the difference as to whether a product "contains" animal-based ingredients, or is "derived from" animal-based 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 and is clear to everyone.

I have never used the wild whey protein but I am very happy with the regular Source Organic Whey Protein. I will definitely buy it again. Hopes this helps. Barb

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

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.

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.

For me it's ok when mixed with most other things. I like Chocolate Whey and maybe some skim milk to taste. I've also mixed it with Cytomax. Personal taste, just mix it with something you like and it's fine. I'm on my third large container and don't notice the taste any more. It's a lot better than trying to eat the large amount of veggies you are supposed to eat every day.

i'd use raw organic whey if you can find it. Raw has all the nutrients in it. I use warrior whey organic. I think it's low heat processed.

As far as i know, no. Soy protein is made from plants and whey is from animals. If you want a leaner look go for soy or if you want more muscle go for whey. Whey generally has more grams of protein per serving compared to whey. And to be honest my experience whey works best for me because i do more cardio its generally harder for me to gain weight and keep it on. But with whey protein ive seen beautiful results. This is actually a great and economic brand for use 10 stars all around.

It probably would be, since it's pea protein rich. I've never used whey protein. But I still have to eat something solid like either an egg white or one small piece of chicken or fish. The drink for me has mostly helped curb any need for carbs, i.e., bagels, etc.

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".

Hi, looking at my jar, I do not see whey protein listed, only soy protein. The list of ingredients is quite long, so I will give you their website off the jar & maybe you can find out directly from them. It's www.Lifeburst.com Hope this helped some.

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.

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.

Not knowing the answer, I checked the label and the only ingredient which could have been from an animal source was zinc. I called the company and they stated the zinc was not from an animal source. The product should be safe for vegetarians.
