More Information

* Per serving
** Compared to traditional whey protein. The traditional whey protein from cows digestibility number is 0.95. Whey protein isolate from fermentation’s digestibility number is 0.96. The higher value of protein digestibility value indicates the easier to be digested.
^ Compared to 100% whey protein powder from USDA nutrient database. 13g of leucine in Orgain Better Whey fermented whey isolate vs. 8.6g of leucine in traditional whey protein from cows per 100g basis.

*** Comparing Orgain Better Whey (Fermented Whey Isolate) to traditional whey protein production from cows

(1) Calculated with the same total corrected protein content at 1kg (3.5% w/w protein) by the blue water consumption. GHG (Green House Gas) Emissions are measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents (kg-CO2e) in average number per 1kg of protein. This is measured in kilograms of CO2-equivalents per 1kg of protein (kgCO2 eq per 1kg protein)

(2) The low heating value approach was used to determine the primary energy from non-renewable resources and is measured in megajoules (MJ)

Blue Water: Based on blue water which refers to a consumption of water use captured the amount of water consumed by the system, not just total withdrawals. This is measured by Liters (L) – total amount of water withdrawn from and not returned to surface and ground water sources.  The two major sources of water consumption for both Fermented whey and Bovine whey: Fermented Whey (Protein Development at 50.1%, and Cleaning at 14%), and Bovine Whey (Drinking and Cleaning – using 40 gal per day, range 30-50 gal per day The Value of Water (psu.edu)). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5149046/ , 19. Hoffman JR, Falvo MJ.

Green House Gas Emissions: Emissions are measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents (kg CO2e) in average number per 1,000 grams of protein. This is measured in kilograms of CO2-equivalents per 1000g of protein (kgCO2eq per 1000g protein). Source: Poore, J., & Nemecek, T. (2018).

What is Fermented Whey Protein Isolate?

Fermented Whey Protein Isolate is a high-quality protein with the same nutrition as whey protein but made using fermentation. Fermentation is a centuries-old process that uses microorganisms to make foods and beverages like sourdough bread, yogurt, and beer. 

Can I consume Better Whey if I have a milk allergy?

No. This product contains milk protein allergen. If you have a milk allergy, we recommend not consuming the Better Whey Protein Powder.

How is Fermented Whey Protein Isolate more sustainable? 

When comparing Whey Protein Isolate from fermentation to traditional whey produced from cows, calculated based on total protein in cow's milk at 3.5% by weight, Whey Protein Isolate from fermentation is produced using:

10x less blue water*** (1)
10x less GHG emissions*** (1)
1.5x less energy consumption*** (2)

What is the amino acid profile of Better Whey and is this a complete protein?

Yes, this is a complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids the body cannot make. Plus, it is higher in branched chain amino acids and contains 1.5x the amount of leucine*^ than traditional whey protein. The figures below represent the typical essential amino acid profile per 1 serving (36g) of Better Whey Protein Powder (Average milligrams per serving naturally occurring)
