The whey protein isolate (WPI) used in the ingredients of 180 Natural Protein Superfood is Grass-Fed Instantised Whey Protein Isolate.
It is manufactured by cross-flow micro-filtration (MF) and ultra-filtration (UF). Micro-filtration naturally isolates undenatured protein, providing a MF whey protein isolate (WPI) product that is low in fat, high in protein and very low lactose. The WPI whey protein isolate is an undenatured, soluble whey protein with excellent nutritive value, making it a great choice of WPI for 180 Natural Protein Superfood.
