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.

Proto Whey vs. Other Hydrolyzed Whey
Sure, you can find whey hydrolysate in many different brands of protein supplements nowadays, but don’t be fooled. All hydrolysates are not the same.
The degree of hydrolysis (DH), or the extent to which the protein has been hydrolyzed (broken down) makes all the difference. Proto Whey is still the only high-DH whey protein around. It has been so extensively hydrolyzed that it contains up to 40% di and tri peptide content, which is something no other protein brand can say. Don’t be fooled by hydrolyzed imitators; Proto Whey is the real deal.
What’s a whey protein hydrolysate?
What in the world is that? It’s a specific type of whey protein that is biologically and scientifically better for you. When a protein is hydrolyzed, it is broken down into smaller and smaller pieces, and, generally speaking, smaller is better. Smaller proteins mean better absorption and less digestion.
Proto Whey is 100% hydrolyzed – no whey isolates, whey concentrates, or caseins. Just 100% bioavailable when protein hydrolysate. Remember, smaller is better and means less waste, so you get more for your money out of Proto Whey.
