About this supplement
Instantized Whey Protein Concentrate is a processed form of whey protein concentrate designed for improved mixability and solubility. Whey protein is derived from milk during cheese production and contains all nine essential amino acids with high levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), particularly leucine. The 'instantized' process involves agglomeration techniques that create larger, more porous particles that resist clumping and disperse easily in liquids without requiring vigorous shaking or blending. This form typically contains 70-80% protein by weight, with the remainder consisting of lactose (milk sugar), milk fat, minerals, and moisture. It is a complete protein with high biological value and rapid digestion kinetics.

Physical properties
Typically a fine, agglomerated powder that is off-white to cream in color. Highly soluble and dispersible in water and other liquids with minimal shaking. Hygroscopic (can absorb moisture from air).
How it’s made
Produced by filtering liquid whey (a byproduct of cheese manufacturing) using microfiltration or ultrafiltration to concentrate the protein fraction. The resulting whey protein concentrate (WPC) powder is then 'instantized' via an agglomeration process. This typically involves rewetting the powder particles in a controlled chamber, causing them to stick together into larger, porous aggregates, which are then re-dried. This creates a powder that wets and disperses more easily.
