Hi there, the whey protein is a by-product of making cheese, so it comes from milk. Whey protein isolate, although it's made from dairy, is so pure that it really has no carbs, fat, and no lactose. Isopure basically takes the protein out of the whey (lactose, fat, carbs), so you are left with only protein. Hope this helps a little!

Vegetarian means no meat, as opposed to VEGAN, which would be nothing coming FROM an animal. It IS vegetarian. It is NOT vegan, as it comes from milk. If you are VEGAN, you will need a soy protein instead.

the description for dutch chocolate flavor says it contains Bovine Serum Albumin 6-8%- serum is whats left after blood is filtered and allowed to clot. So technically not vegetarian.

Soy's not the only vegan protein source out there. There are loads of others without the side-effects of soy. Search in Amazon on Google for vegetarian protein or vegan protein!

Also, if you want a zero carb high protein drink that you can mix with water and will taste like fruit juice, try Nectar Fuzzy Navel, it's cheaper and tastes better, it's my favorite protein of all time.

To be honest, I only bought it that one time, I am using a different product now. I liked protein 17 but they don't have it any more, so I am using "Source Organic Whey Protein 2.0 Lbs Bulk"... I don't even remember reserveage organics... sorry.

All the folks that say it's 100% whey, the product description clearly says, "Whey Protein Concentrate (whey protein concentrate soy lecithin)" And the front of the label says "Contains milk and soy." So technically it does contain soy (lecithin). Most whey products contain soy lecithin. I'm guessing it's in trace amounts, most &lt; 1%, but not sure since it doesn't say.

Hello, Mariah-- To address your specific points regarding Orac Energy Protein and Greens: 1) All "common" fruits or vegetables are listed as organic on the label. Some thing,s such as quercetin, milk thistle, and a number of others are are listed ingredients but no claims they are organic. 2) A full serving contains 3 grams of carbohydrates. about a 2/3 teaspoon in terms of sugars. Not bad when you consider (as I've heard) we need 10 teaspoons daily for good nutrition. There is a gram of fiber which plays into the carbohydrate/sugar ration in some ways that I'm not too familiar with. Fructose isn't listed specifically. 3) The maker claims Orac Energy Protein and Greens is is 100 vegan, so no there can't be any whey. Hope this helps. Brad Stephan

good question. honestly i'm not sure but I don't believe much of Dr. Mercola's claims--he said on his website his whey protein had 1 or 2 ingredients but it doesn't, he preaches organic--the whey protein isn't USDA certified organic. If he said its was rBGH/rBST hormone free not sure I'd believe it.

Cold press simply means heat wasn't used in filtration of the whey! Which is great because the protien isn't denatured! Meaning it's in it's purest form! It's has not lost any of its natural compound by being heated and processed! .... Hope that helps! .... It's expensive because it's pure and organic no fillers/no bi products! Just pure organic! I highly recommend it

Hi, looking at my jar, I do not see whey protein listed, only soy protein. The list of ingredients is quite long, so I will give you their website off the jar & maybe you can find out directly from them. It's www.Lifeburst.com Hope this helped some.

In the beginning, 12 years ago, yes, I was concerned. However, at the time, my Nutritionist (By the way, his entire family of five have been with Standard Process for at least 15 years that I know of) stated: Do you eat meat, ie: beef, lamb, etc? I stated "Yes"....His comment: Well then, what is the difference. All Standard Process products are tested for purity and safety. Google Standard Process so you can understand who and what they are. This company has been around for many years. My Nutrionist gave me all the data on each of the products I take, so I feel very comfortable taking Catalyn, along with all and any of their products. Hope this helps make your decision. In the beginning, 12 years ago, yes, I was concerned.

You'd have to check with the manufacturer. They call it a natural product, but "natural" does not have any standardized or regulatory meaning. Everyone is free to decide for themselves what is natural. It's also vegan/vegetarian. You'd have to look at the ingredient list and decide for yourself if there are any ingredients that you don't want to ingest.

The label that's shown in the Amazon pics clearly says, "Gelatin" which means it's NOT vegetarian. I hate how little accurate information is available on Amazon for supplements. I've spent HOURS trying to find a vegan D3 supplement that doesn't have crap in it. Still searching.

Good Evening Mimi,The Bovine ingredient comes from Cows, not sure if the glandular extract comes from local cows or from out of the country. I suggest contacting The Standard Process Company. I wish you the best on your path to wellness, always do good research and be proactive.Sincerely,iamxoxo

The protein is 100% whey based but there is a small % (most likely less than 1 - 2%) of soy lecithin as an emulsifier. Since lecithin is a highly refined ingredient there is little to no protein left so it is an incidental ingredient. If it is an allergen concern, recommendation is to avoid. If you are not concerned about allergen, this is an excellent product.

There is no whey protein. I'll post a picture of the ingredients if I can figure it out.

Yes, it's one of the few products for Whey protein that is organic and that comes from Grass-Fed cows. I use to buy it from Whole Foods, but it is a bit less expensive here, and they deliver it fast and well-packaged.

Why would a vegetarian even want to make sausage. Tofu links???? Just seems like being a poser. I like eggplant but why try to turn it into anymore than what it is. Bacon is from a living breathing animal, not reconstituted from plant proteins. a vegetarian that wants vegan sausage or bacon or hamburger is really riding the fence and maybe needs a 12 step program.

The product looks like is gluten free. For the other questions I don't have an answer. However, like I said before I didn't get a chance to taste it because of the warning label, which reads that could produce harm to the reproductive organs and has minerals that are pretty harmful to your health if you have them more the amount is allowed daily. Now, don't forget that every protein product are concentrated so to me it's not ideal to have this protein or another. Also, if you like you could call them up so they could answer all your questions. Hope that helps

Just got to know what wulsen factor is thanks to google. I dont know if it does have it as its more of a scientific value and Im thinking cant be judged by taste.Only thing I can say is the older generation (in India) who used organic ghee seemed to have less joint issues even on a vegetarian diet.
