Ultrafiltered and undenatured low temperature processed Whey Protein Isolate (includes Beta Lactoglobulin, Alpha Lactoalbumin, glycomacropeptides, Immunoglobulin, Bovine Serum Albumin, Protease Peptone, Lactoferrin, Lacto Peroxidase), real Dutch Cocoa (in chocolate flavor only), natural and artificial flavors and colors, citric acid, lecithin, acesulfame potassium, sucralose.

Taste: 10/10
Excellent taste, it grew on me by the end of the first week. I can describe the taste as a sweet-tart flavor, not too strong just balanced right. Substance from Scivation and Giant's WPI cannot even compete with this watermelon flavor. I have used it to mask my bulk leucine and it's work perfect.

Mixability: 9.5/10
Similar to GF-pro, just requires some swirls with a spoon and dissolves in just water. There is a tiny amount left on the spoon.

Value: 9/10
It's a protein isolate, thus it's a little more expensive than traditional whey concentrates. Comparing it to other whey isolates, for $19.99 its cheaper than most. The process used for the whey protein is microfiltered which is important, since you want to stay away from ion-exchanged whey isolates.

Overall: 9.5/10
Whey supremecy is awesome, the taste is second to none and quite addicting. This product is tied with blueberry Ergopharm's Gf-pro and kiwi-strawberry Vpx zero carb in regards to taste. I really am glad Customizer(Dave) created this product. The bonus is when he had a 2lb jug for $13.50, and sorry this sale is long gone. Thanks Dave

Background info on whey isolate and micro and cross filtration

Whey
The other major part of milk protein is whey (about 20%). Unlike casein, whey proteins are soluble in liquid and have many different benefits besides muscle growth. Whey is a fast-digesting protein with a high branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) content that quickly delivers these BCAAs to muscle cells. Due to its fast action and its high BCAA content, whey protein is an excellent choice to take immediately before and after your workouts.

Here's a list of some significant whey proteins and their important properties.

* Beta-lactoglobulin
The largest protein fraction of whey, it's rich in BCAAs.

* Alpha-lactalbumin
A low-molecular-weight peptide fraction of whey that is easily digested, allowing faster absorption and uptake by muscles.

* Glycomacropeptide
Actually a fraction of casein that is often found in whey, it stimulates the release of CCK--a hormone that signals to the brain that you are full--which helps to reduce appetite.

* Immunoglobulins
Fractions of whey that strengthen the immune system.

* Bovine serum albumin peptides
The fractions of whey that are rich in the precursors for glutathione (one of the body's most important antioxidants).

* Lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase
Minor protein fractions that have antimicrobial properties.

* Whey protein isolate (WPI)
A purer form of whey protein (90% or higher) than concentrate, because it is processed even further via longer filtering or ion exchange (IE). This makes it a good protein to use when dieting because it has a lower carbohydrate and fat content. However, IE WPI will have lower amounts of glycomacropeptide (the CCK trigger that helps stem appetite).

RELATED ARTICLE: PROTEIN PROCESSING
Manufacturers use various processing methods to separate whey protein from the lactose, fat and other components found in milk. Some of the more common methods are listed below. These terms often show up on product labels. Here's what they mean.

* Ultrafiltration
A process that uses pressure and a porous membrane to separate the fat and lactose from milk proteins.

* Microfiltration (MF) or cross-flow microfiltration (CFM)
A method that further separates whey protein from fat and lactose through a low-temperature process using high-tech ceramic filters that maintain the majority of the beneficial fractions. MF- and CFM-type processing removes the large fat globules that ultrafiltration cannot separate to achieve a fat content of less than 1%.

* Ion exchange (IE)
A method that uses ionically charged resins and chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide to separate protein. This process is often used to produce the purest form of whey protein isolate--meaning it has the highest protein content of all whey proteins (90% or more). The drawback is that some of the beneficial subfractions are lost, particularly hunger-suppressing glycomacropeptide.

* Hydrolysis
Describes the separation of protein into peptides (multiple amino-acid fragments). Hydrolysis breaks some of the amino-acid bonds in the protein chain, allowing the protein to be digested and absorbed more rapidly.
