Discover the Improved BEYOND Whey Hydrolysate Protein Shake

After an intense workout, it’s essential to optimize your training effects by replenishing your protein levels. A shake is often the quickest solution. However, the protein shake market is highly saturated, raising the question: which shake is the best choice? To answer this, we need to examine the ingredients—specifically, the type of protein used. There are different types of whey protein: concentrate, isolate, and hydrolysate. Many beginner athletes are unaware that these proteins are absorbed differently by the body. In this article, we explain the various protein types and how they are incorporated into our BEYOND shakes.

Limited Absorption in Most Protein Shakes

Did you know that only a limited percentage of the protein in traditional shakes—whether isolate or concentrate—is actually absorbed by your body? This is mainly due to the influence of stomach acid, which plays a crucial role in digesting and breaking down proteins like whey. Studies show that many people experience reduced stomach acid production due to chronic stress, processed foods, vitamin deficiencies, smoking, and excess weight. When stomach acid levels are low, proteins are not fully broken down, limiting their absorption in the small intestine. As a result, the body struggles to efficiently utilize the amino acids from whey isolate and concentrate, reducing the effectiveness of these protein sources.

Hydrolysate: Optimal and Faster Protein Absorption

Scientific research has shown that whey hydrolysate is absorbed at a rate of approximately 95% because the protein has already been pre-digested during processing. This means that large protein molecules are broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids, requiring less effort from the body to digest them further. Because whey hydrolysate is delivered in smaller fragments, it can be absorbed more quickly and efficiently by the small intestine without relying heavily on stomach acid. This allows hydrolysate to bypass the issues caused by reduced stomach acid production, resulting in better protein absorption and utilization.

Improved Digestion and Fewer Stomach Issues with Hydrolysate

Do you ever experience stomach discomfort, bloating, or gas after drinking a protein shake? This is common, especially for people who are lactose-intolerant or have a sensitive digestive system. Traditional whey protein shakes often contain residual lactose, which can cause digestive issues in those who are lactose-intolerant. Even people without lactose intolerance may struggle to digest certain shakes due to the way the protein is processed. Whey hydrolysate offers a solution. Since the protein in hydrolysate is pre-digested, it significantly reduces the risk of stomach issues. Multiple studies confirm that the body requires less effort to break down these proteins, leading to smoother digestion. Additionally, whey hydrolysate is nearly lactose-free, making it an ideal choice for those with lactose sensitivity.

Whey Hydrolysate is Allergen-Free and 100% Pure

Unlike soy or plant-based proteins, whey hydrolysate contains fewer allergens and is typically free from gluten and soy. This makes it highly suitable for individuals with allergies. Our BEYOND whey hydrolysate is also free from artificial additives commonly found in other protein powders, such as thickeners and processed E-numbers, which can contribute to skin issues and other sensitivities. The hydrolysis process removes many impurities and fats, resulting in a much cleaner and purer protein powder.

Handcrafted Hydrolysate from the Beemster Region

Our BEYOND whey hydrolysate is carefully handcrafted by a Zaanse nutrition expert with a focus on quality and sustainability. The process starts at a large farm in the Beemster region, where cows graze naturally on fresh grass. These grass-fed cows produce high-quality milk, which is then processed into whey protein. Finally, this protein is pre-digested and transformed into hydrolysate. This artisanal approach, combined with the rich nutritional profile of the milk, creates a pure and nutrient-dense product that supports optimal health and performance.
