Whey protein concentrate & isolates

Maintaining the body's protein requirements is crucial for a healthy body capable of performing daily activities. When dealing with illness or disease, meeting the body's protein requirements can support the recovery process1.

Whey proteins have long been recognized as an excellent protein source due to their high quality2. This quality is attributed to the easy digestibility of whey proteins and their superior content of essential amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), with leucine (LEU) being particularly important for muscle regulation3. Ongoing research aims to determine the optimal dosage, source, and timing of protein intake to enhance and preserve muscle size and strength in older individuals. Arla Foods Ingredients actively participates in various clinical trials that investigate the impact of whey protein on muscle mass among elderly individuals, including both those who are healthy and those affected by injury or illness.

We are committed to advancing research on the use of whey protein supplementation to enhance muscle mass and function in both healthy adults and individuals with advanced chronic conditions such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Through partnerships with universities and research organizations, we conduct studies to investigate and document the various health advantages provided by our whey protein ingredients. Our ultimate goal is to continuously enhance the quality of our ingredients for the benefit of consumers, based on the findings of these collaborative research efforts.
