What is hydrolysis?

Hydrolysis is the process of breaking down proteins into smaller and smaller components through the use of acids or enzymes. These hydrolyzed proteins are then easier to absorb and utilize.
So what’s the difference between all the hydrolyzed whey proteins on the market today?
Simple: the Degree of Hydrolysis (DH). When proteins are broken down externally, some may be broken down entirely, and others may have only undergone a small amount of hydrolysis. Proto Whey is extensively hydrolyzed, moreso than any other product on the market. This extensive breakdown of proteins allows Proto Whey to absorb rapidly and completely, without the waste associated with whole proteins and only partially hydrolyzed supplements.
