Whey protein caramel flavour - Classic range

Whey protein comes from whey, one of the fractions of cow’s milk. Ours is an isolate: the whey is mechanically filtered (microfiltration and ultrafiltration) at cold temperatures and without heat treatment to minimize protein denaturation. It is then spray-dried in a matter of milliseconds, resulting in a very fine powder.
The main proteins in whey are beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin, lactoferrin, and immunoglobulins. They are rich in essential amino acids and BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine), which contribute to muscle protein synthesis: this is what first earned whey its place in bodybuilding. They also contain a lot of glutamic acid (glutamate), a precursor to glutamine.

No. A weight gainer typically contains more carbohydrates than protein: ideally, a serving of 20 to 25 g of protein with about three times as many carbohydrates. It’s designed to provide a lot of calories, for example, during a bulking phase. Our classic line, on the other hand, contains only the minimum amount of carbohydrates to complement the protein.
We sweeten it with real, whole, unrefined, organic sugar rather than artificial sweeteners like aspartame or sucralose, which are up to 600 times sweeter than sugar. This sugar adds bulk to the mixture, resulting in a slightly lower protein content per 100 g of finished product. Once mixed in a shaker, the mixture contains about 5% carbohydrates.

We use ingredients from organic farming as much as possible (sugar, vanilla powder, cocoa, natural red berry flavoring, etc.), which are inspected and certified by Ecocert. However, the milk used to produce our whey powder is not certified organic; therefore, we cannot market our product as French organic whey. We chose to use local milk—sourced from pastures in the Rhône-Alpes region and from the extensive farming system of our partner, the Union des Producteurs de Beaufort—rather than organic milk, for which we could not have guaranteed the same local sourcing.

Whey is primarily intended for athletes who want to supplement their protein intake, especially when their diet does not provide enough. Protein helps increase and maintain muscle mass. Rich in protein, whey is often consumed after a workout; however, it is the total daily intake that matters most.

No, we do not add any additional protein or amino acids. Most of the amino acids come from our whey powder, which is naturally rich in BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine), with 5 to 6 g per serving—more than most plant-based proteins. The rest comes from other ingredients, such as cocoa, in negligible amounts.

Proteins naturally foam when mixed with a liquid, to a greater or lesser extent depending on their purity. To limit this phenomenon, many protein powders contain lecithin, most often soy lecithin. It is an emulsifying additive, and we have chosen not to use it—nor any other processed ingredients derived from soy. Our whey may therefore foam slightly after vigorous mixing: this foam is temporary and perfectly normal.
In hot weather, it may be more abundant, as heat alters the structure of the proteins when they come into contact with water. Tip: Store your packet in a cool, dry place—such as a basement—or even in the refrigerator if it’s tightly sealed. This won’t affect the quality of the powder, and it will significantly reduce foaming. For best results, first pour the liquid into the shaker, then add the powder, and mix as directed on the back of the package.
