Whey protein, along with casein, one of the 2 major proteins in milk, is derived from purified cow's (or goat's) milk cheese - a complex process which includes defatting, precipitation, washing, solubilization, concentration and purification steps. Commercial ion exchange resins are also used as part of the purification process.
Whey "isolate" is a standardized, higher concentrated form of protein than whey "concentrate".
The cold filtered ion exchange process allows the whey protein to maintain its purest natural composition without the protein denaturation of heat.

More easily and efficiently digested form of protein than food.
Boosts energy.
Curbs appetite for sweets and other carbohydrates.
Acts as an antioxident, preventing peroxidation of fats.
Improves the viability of the probiotic bifidobacteria.
Increases endurance and muscle recovery from physical activity (especially effective within 30 minutes immediately following exercise).
Improves resynthesis of the body's high energy store, glycogen, by 20% or more following an intense workout.
Increases metabolism (helps speed weight loss).
With resistance training, results in significant weight loss, fat loss, lean body weight increase, and increased muscle strength.
Improves immune function. Protects against immune function disturbance caused by oxidized cholesterol (animal study). May assist human white blood cells in fighting off certain bacterial infections.
Twice as effective as highly touted soy protein anti-aging/rejuvenation benefits.
Increases bone growth, density and strength.
Helps prevent oxidation of the "bad" LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein).
When added to lactobacillus casei- and streptococcus thermophilus-enriched milk, raises "good" HDL cholesterol, lowers serum triglycerides and lowers systolic blood pressure.
Lactokinins from whey protein may have blood pressure-lowering benefits
