Why we at Wheycation consciously rely on natural Swiss whey protein concentrate
Not all whey proteins are created equal. Anyone in the fitness or nutrition world will quickly come across terms like isolate or hydrolysate – they sound technical, performance-oriented, and sophisticated, and are often touted as higher-quality forms of protein. But are they really the better choice?
At Wheycation, we think: No, not necessarily. And here we explain why we deliberately chose the more natural Swiss whey protein concentrate – rather than isolate or hydrolysate.
What is behind isolate and hydrolysate?
Protein isolate is obtained from concentrate through additional filtration steps, increasing the protein content to over 90 %, while fat and lactose are almost completely removed. This can be an advantage for people with severe lactose intolerance, and in certain applications, a high protein content makes sense, but important micronutrients are also lost.
Protein hydrolysate is even more processed – through enzymatic cleavage, the protein is already present in small peptides. This is supposed to make it easier to absorb, but in fact, native whey protein, with its amino acids, is already very easily absorbed by humans. And hydrolysate often tastes bitter and artificial.
Our way: Natural, enjoyable and meaningful
At Wheycation, we rely on Swiss whey protein concentrate because it simply makes more sense for our values and the needs of our customers – and for taste – without sacrificing effectiveness.
✔️ Naturalness instead of overprocessing
Our whey comes from Swiss cheese dairies that source their milk from local farmers who must adhere to strict animal welfare and quality standards. The whey is processed gently—without the complex and sometimes chemically modified steps required for isolate and hydrolysate. This preserves natural micronutrients and maintains the protein's natural state.
✔️ Functionally complete – and low in lactose
Our whey protein concentrate provides all essential amino acids in optimal ratios – exactly as the body needs them. It's highly bioavailable, supports muscle building, recovery, and the immune system – and contains very little lactose. It's well tolerated by many people – completely isolate-free.
✔️ No need for artificial additives
Isolates and hydrolysates often require additional sweeteners, flavors, or texturizing agents to be edible while maintaining their high protein content. Our concentrate, on the other hand, offers a natural creaminess and a pleasantly mild flavor. This allows for products that simply taste good without artificial tricks.
✔️ Enjoyment is our focus
Our customers love Wheycation not only for the nutritional value, but also because our products taste authentic. No metallic aftertaste, no artificial sweetness, and no powdery feel. The naturally creamy taste of our protein is the perfect base for our protein powders and porridges.
Our conclusion
Those who want isolate or hydrolysate are often looking for the maximum—especially the maximum in terms of protein content. We, on the other hand, offer the maximum in naturalness. Whey protein in its least processed form as a concentrate delivers exactly the right amount of protein, is high-quality, highly bioavailable, well-tolerated—and, above all, delicious. That's precisely why we rely on Swiss whey protein concentrate. For honest products. For real taste.
