Vitakruid Clear whey isolate tropical Vitakruid Clear Whey Isolate - Tropical
What is protein?
Proteins serve as the building blocks of our body. They are made up of amino acids, which together form a protein. Our bodies can produce some of these amino acids themselves. However, there are nine amino acids that we must obtain through our diet; these are the essential amino acids.
Protein-rich food
Most people think of meat, eggs, or cottage cheese when they think of protein, but protein is found in many other foods. Fish, nuts, grains, and legumes are also rich in protein and can therefore be an important source of protein in your diet.

High-quality proteins: hydrolyzed whey isolate
We distinguish between different types of protein powders. Besides the vegan varieties, which usually have a base of pea, rice, or bean proteins, we also have whey protein powders. Whey is a byproduct of cheese production with a naturally high protein content and is better known by its English name: whey.
There are different types of whey, such as concentrate, isolate, and hydrolyzed isolate. To produce Clear Whey, lactose, fats, and carbohydrates are filtered from the whey concentrate. This results in a whey isolate with a high protein content.
Increased absorption through hydrolyzation
The whey isolate is then hydrolyzed. This process breaks down the proteins into smaller pieces and pre-digestes them with enzymes. The end result is a hydrolyzed whey isolate with improved absorption.
Better solubility
Thanks to the hydrolyzation of the proteins, the solubility of Clear Whey also improves significantly. Shake your shaker a few times and you'll have a deliciously clear protein lemonade!
Easier to digest than a regular shake
Lactose is a sugar naturally found in milk and dairy products. Whey concentrate contains lactose, but this specific sugar is largely filtered out during the production of whey isolate. Clear Whey Isolate therefore contains less than 0.2% lactose, making the clear protein drink easier to digest than a regular protein shake.
Complete amino acid profile
All protein sources contain all the different amino acids, but their ratios can vary considerably. Proteins with a complete amino acid profile contain amino acid ratios that meet our needs. Some proteins contain proportionally fewer of certain essential amino acids, making their amino acid profiles less complete.
The protein in Clear Whey Isolate has a complete amino acid profile. It contains all the essential amino acids in optimal ratios.
Essential amino acids and branched chain amino acids (BCAA)
Of the 20 amino acids our body needs, we can produce some ourselves or convert them from other amino acids. However, there are nine amino acids our body cannot produce and therefore must obtain from our diet. The proteins in Clear Whey Isolate consist of a whopping 47% of these essential amino acids!
Three important essential amino acids are the BCAAs leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Clear Whey Isolate consists of 20% of these BCAAs, in a scientifically proven ratio of 2:1:1.
Mocktail tip
As a clear protein lemonade, Clear Whey Isolate is also perfect for mixing with other drinks. Try this tropical mocktail, for example!
- 300 milliliters of coconut water or pineapple juice
- 1 scoop Clear Whey (25 grams)
- 100 milliliters of sparkling water
- Slice of lime
Combine the coconut water or pineapple juice with the Clear Whey and let it sit for 5 minutes. Top with sparkling water and a lime wedge. Enjoy!
Tip! Pineapple juice contains sugar. Want the highest possible protein percentage in your drink? Choose coconut water.
