What makes BiPro ELITE different than other whey proteins?
People often ask what makes BiPro ELITE Whey Protein different than other whey proteins. Although there are other differences, two differentials are that BiPro is a clean protein with naturally sourced sweeteners and flavors, and only uses ion-exchanged whey protein isolate.
If you look at the ingredient list of most protein supplements, you’ll likely see a long list that read like a chemistry lab. All BiPro Whey Protein products are using clean, naturally sourced sweeteners and flavors, and minimal ingredients. You won’t find artificial sweeteners, dyes, fillers, and bulking agents present in BiPro.
Many top protein powders say “isolate” on their label. Supplement companies use "isolate" on their label, but it’s often a blend of proteins. Their protein blends contain lesser quality proteins like whey concentrates and they aren’t required to tell you how much of each type of protein is in their products. BiPro ELITE only uses whey protein isolate.
BiPro Whey Protein Isolate goes through an advanced patented ion-exchange process that filters out fat, lactose, sugar, and carbohydrates. Ion exchange technology is regarded as the best of the best in the world. It removes fat and lactose through an electrical charge. The finished product has a slightly higher level of protein (90 percent or higher) and a lower level of fat and lactose than micro-filtering. This process takes exceptional care not to denature the protein; resulting in an ultra-purified protein isolate with approximately 30% more leucine than microfiltered whey isolate. Leucine is known as the critical amino acid for athletes to initiate muscle protein synthesis. Whey concentrates use a microfiltration process, a separation technique that “concentrates” the protein based on the size of material that can fit through pores in a membrane, using pressure. Whey protein concentrate contains fat, lactose, sugar, carbohydrates, and its purity can vary, anywhere from 25 to 89 percent.
In recent years, supplement manufacturers have been sued for allegedly spiking products with cheap fillers that they’re passing off as protein. So even if a label says it is an isolate, how do you know it’s true? BiPro ELITE’s products are NSF Certified for Sport®. To be NSF Certified, they are tested by a third party called NSF International. NSF verifies that the product contains only the ingredients listed on the label, and it is free of contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, toxins, and potential pathogenic microbes.
As BiPro has grown, we’ve stayed true to the idea that protein supplements should have a clean label. BiPro’s clean label means minimal and naturally sourced ingredients. BiPro’s clean label means zero grams of sugar, natural sweeteners, and natural flavors. It means you get the protein you need to thrive and no fillers that lessen quality.
