Whey protein with decaffeinated coffee - No added sugar

In short: whey protein, in the form of an isolate. In detail: whey, derived from cow’s milk, is filtered using microfiltration and ultrafiltration—mechanical processes applied at cold temperatures, without heat treatment—to minimize protein denaturation. The isolate is then spray-dried: the drying process takes about one millisecond and results in a very fine powder. It primarily contains beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin, lactoferrin, and immunoglobulins. These proteins are rich in essential amino acids, BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine)—which play a role in muscle protein synthesis—and glutamic acid, from which glutamine is produced. Bodybuilding was the first field to utilize them.

In short: no. In detail: A weight gainer often provides more carbohydrates than protein—ideally 20 to 25 g of protein for about three times as many carbohydrates—to provide plenty of calories for muscle gain. The classic line contains only the minimum amount of carbohydrates to complement the protein. The sugar used is real, organic, whole sugar—unrefined—chosen instead of aspartame or sucralose (which are up to 600 times sweeter). It adds bulk, resulting in a slightly lower protein content per 100 g. Once mixed, the drink contains about 5% carbohydrates.

In short: it is not certified organic because of the milk. Here’s why: we use as many organic ingredients as possible (vanilla powder, natural red fruit flavoring, sugar, cocoa, etc.), which are inspected and certified by Ecocert, but the milk from which our whey powder is derived is not certified organic; therefore, we are not allowed to use the term “French organic whey.” We chose to use local milk from the extensive farming system of our partner, the Union des Producteurs de Beaufort, and its pastures in the Rhône-Alpes region, rather than organic milk, for which such local sourcing could not have been guaranteed.

In short: it’s natural, temporary, and we’ve chosen not to prevent it with an additive. In detail: all proteins foam when reconstituted in a liquid, to an extent that varies with their purity, and even more so in hot weather, which disrupts the interaction between proteins and water. Many products add lecithin—often soy lecithin—an emulsifier; we do not use it, nor do we use any processed soy products. To minimize foaming: store the packet in a cool, dry place (cellar, or refrigerator if tightly sealed), which has no effect on the quality of the powder; pour the liquid before adding the powder; mix as directed on the back of the packet.

In short: no. To be more specific: we do not add any proteins or amino acids. The BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine) come naturally from whey, which provides 5 to 6 g per serving—more than many plant-based proteins. The other ingredients, such as cocoa, contribute only a negligible amount.

In short: to supplement your protein intake. In detail: Whey is primarily intended for athletes whose diet does not always meet their protein needs. Protein helps increase and maintain muscle mass. Rich in protein, whey is often consumed after a workout, though the most important factor is your total daily protein intake.
