Jarrow Formulas 100% Natural Whey Protein Unflavored -- 2 lbs

Jarrow Formulas 100% Natural Whey Protein Unflavored -- 2 lbs

18% GlycoMacroPeptides Full Spectrum Whey. Whey Protein is a 100% natural protein concentrate of Whey and is specially ultrafiltered under low temperature to be low in fat, lactose and carbohydrates. Whey Protein is a rich source of glutamine-rich biologically active proteins. Fifty-one percent of the proteins found in Whey are from BLG (beta-Lactoglobulin), 20% of Whey is ALB (AlphaLactalbumin), 10% immunoglobulin, 10% Albumin, 7% minor fractions(Beta-Microglobulin, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, lactolin and relaxin). Albumin is of particular interest to researchers because of its elevated concentration of glutamylcysteine, a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione. Whey Protein supports muscle development because it is the richest natural source of BCAAs (Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine), important fuel components of muscle tissue. BCAAs are depleted from muscle tissue following strenuous exercise, which can cause catabolic loss of protein. BCAAs suppress proteolysis which is the breakdown of muscle tissue. BCAAs are important as a metabolic fuel for muscle and other tissues by its involvement in the alanine cycle (a process of energy production from BCAAs). BCAAs have been known to enhance performance in moderate as well as intense exercise by improving endurance. Each scoop (23 grams) of Whey Protein provides a total of 4.6 grams of BCAAs. No other source of protein provides as much BCAAs as Whey. Jarrow Formulas 100% all natural Whey Protein is rich in glycomacropeptides, which are biologically active proteins that improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and growth of bifidobacteria. Whey Protein is specially processed to concentrate and preserve glutamine. Predigested Whey, such as that found in peptides and hydrolyzed Whey products, results in a loss of glutamine. Therefore, Jarrow Formulas Whey is not hydrolyzed. Also, Whey Protein is extremely rich in essential amino acids that raise the biological effeciency of the protein. Whey Advantages 100% Natural Nothing artificial: No artificial flavors, sweeteners or colors. 18% Glycomacropeptides: Unique low molecular weight compounds. Highest Biological Value: 104 Highest concentration of muscle-boosting branched chain amino acids per serving. You Also Might Like..........

Great protein source, October 15, 2009
By lancet

"I've used protein concentrates at breakfast over 40 years. Jarrow's Whey Protein is the best I've found for the money. I prefer Unflavored, but it also comes in flavored varieties. It gives one great energy to meet the day."

Very versatile, September 26, 2009

Much prefer soy protein, September 7, 2009

Great Product!, July 2, 2009
By Ryhana from Napa Valley, Ca

"I really trust Jarrow Co. This whey protein powder is very pure, dissolves easily, tastes fine. I have been purchasing it for years now. It has no sweeteners or fillers. I make smoothies using almond milk as a base, then adding whey, Maca, coconut oil, green powder, and a little frozen fruit. Yummy!"

Great Product, July 1, 2009
By Babycakes from Weston, Fl

"I like Jarrow Whey because it does not contain sugar or artificial sweeteners, is lower in calorie and has a high percentage of amino acids. After my workout I use it in a protien shake with or without 1 scoop of Walker's Vanilla, 1 TBS of Barlean's High Lignan Flax Oil and fresh blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries."

Very Good Purchase, June 17, 2009
By Ebork from Massachusetts

"I have bought this product 2 times already. It is great if you don’t like the flavor that other protein powders come in.
My Opinion:
Best if mixed with juice or a smoothie. You won’t be able to taste it at all!!!

High in Immunolglobulins, June 12, 2009
By Fibonacci from CA

"This neutral unflavored whey concentrate has 10% Immunoglobulin which may help support your immune system. The whey issolates seem to only have 3% immunoglubulins.
Looking for GMP certification but can't find it.

Terrific, Easy-Dissolving Whey, June 12, 2009
By Bionda

"I used this for the first time yesterday - what a great product. The powder dissolved very easily in water with no grit, and there was no discernable flavor (or it was masked by the strawberries I added). Today I made a shake with just milk and vanilla and the powder again dissolved easily. The whey flavor was detectable but not in a bad way. I will definitely purchase this again and again!"

VERY unflavored!, June 10, 2009
By Anonymous from Motown, USA

"I've used a variety of protein powder supplements over a number of decades.

This is the most neutral tasting of them all.

That's good if your goal is to avoid sweeteners, fillers, etc.

It you want to mask the flavor of something else you add . . . not so good.

In my case, I add spirulina. With other powders, even vanilla is enough to dilute the spirulina flavor, but with this Jarrow, it predominates. I add a flavored powder to make it more palatable.

As with so many other supplements, I can't determine how effective it is. When one takes a number of products -- how to tell?

I do like what Jarrow says about how the product is made and the short, non-sweet list of ingredients. This seems a very clean product.

So, given the notes above, recommended!

Great way to boost protein, May 31, 2009
By LivingFineDiabetic from All over the place

"I have added this to whole grained pancake mix to boost the protein to be able to eat it as a diabetic for a balanced meal. It works great, no taste leftover, and the pancakes have no funny texture or anything. I add this to other things too. Does not replace those test-tube like whey shots that I also purchase, but works well for baked goods."

Best Non-Flavor Ever, May 14, 2009
By alaskan from Alaska

"My daughter needs to gain weight due to cancer. Since the chemotherapy has altered her taste buds, this product is wonderful as she cannot tell I have added it to her favorite juices to make a nice beverage for her. She wants "normal" drinks. This one makes us both happy!"

Makes excellent smoothies!, March 29, 2009
By DoctorJ from Syracuse, NY

"Even though this protein powder has less protein and costs a little more than other protein powders, I like it because it's not sweetened, has less calories, and is unflavored. I prefer to add my own extra nutritional and sweetness boost with 2% milk, plain low fat yogurt, ground flaxseed, a little bit of V8 Fusion juice, and whatever fruits I have around the house, usually frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries, strawberries, bananas, and pineapple. It's delicious and nutritious."
