Whey protein hydrolysates

Whey protein hydrolysates

Supporting the dietary management of protein malabsorption

Malabsorption is an impairment of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to absorb essential nutrients from the diet such as protein.

Whey protein hydrolysates are often used in formulating medical foods providing adequate protein nutrition for patients with impaired gastrointestinal function. 

Our extensively hydrolysed whey protein ingredients are enzymatically treated for facilitating an efficient protein uptake. This feature can be particularly beneficial for patients with compromised digestion and absorption1. In addition, medical nutrition containing whey protein hydrolysates is recommended for patients with gastrointestinal intolerance. Under these circumstances, whey protein hydrolysates are considered a suitable alternative to intact protein1,2

Our whey protein hydrolysates can be used for ready-to-drink and enteral nutrition formulas1,2.
