The truth about our Whey Protein Isolate

At Sally-Ann Creed we are passionate about bringing the best, clean and pure supplements to promote health and longevity to our clients. Let’s explain why our Best Whey Isolate stands out compared to others. We asked our dietitian to compare several popular whey protein powders on the market, and here’s what you need to know to make the best choice for your family.

Whey protein is the by-product of cheese manufacturing (at Sally-Ann Creed we get ours from USA mozzarella production). It originally starts with cow’s milk which contains two types of protein—whey (80%) and casein (20%)—remember Little Miss Muffet?. During cheesemaking, enzymes are added to the heated milk which cause the casein in the milk to coagulate, or change to curd, separating from a liquid substance. The liquid substance is the whey which is further separated into the three types of whey.

Side note: Both whey and casein are high-quality complete proteins, however casein is referred to as a “slow” protein due to its slow absorption and digestion whereas whey protein is much quicker to digest and higher in leucine.

FUN FACT: Did you know that creatine is NOT a protein? It’s a compound that is naturally created to help provide energy to the cells in your body. It is used in conjunction with protein to promote muscle growth when combined with weight training.

Pure protein with superior quality:
Our Best Whey Isolate is made with only whey protein isolate sourced from quality mozzarella. Giving you a product that’s 86% pure protein. Compared to other products that range between 66% and 71% protein, we lead the whey. 😂

Why choose whey isolate?

  • Ideal for those with lactose intolerance
  • Absorbs quickly for faster recovery and body usage
  • Contains minimal carbs (0g sugar)

Per serving protein comparison:

  • Creed Whey Isolate: 31g protein (86%)
  • Best Whey Isolate: 20g protein (86%)
  • Competitor 1: 23g protein (72%)
  • Competitor 2:20g protein (69%)
  • Competitor 3: 25g protein (65%)

Clean, Minimal ingredients:
We believe in keeping our products simple, clean and natural. The only ingredients in our Best Whey Isolate are whey protein isolate and sunflower lecithin. Absolutely no sugar, artificial sweeteners, flavourings or unnecessary fillers. In contrast, other brands include:

  • Vegetable oils
  • Sugars, syrups
  • Artificial flavourings
  • Preservatives
  • Maltodextrin

Natural Flavours:
Our whey comes in two flavours:

  • Unflavoured
  • Chocolate—made with real, non-GMO cocoa powder for a natural, wholesome taste

Unlike other products loaded with artificial flavours we wanted our customers to be able to customise their protein smoothies with alternative flavours from nature such as berries, nut butter or vanilla extract.

Low-Carb Friendly:
With 0g sugar and only 1.5g carbs per serving, our Whey Protein Isolate is perfect for those seeking a high-quality protein for daily use without the added unnecessary and unclean ingredients- because you deserve nothing but the best.
