The milk proteins that make up the Diet Protein Blend, also called micellar proteins, represent a formidable technical advance in the family of proteins replacing “casein”. If we trace the history of high protein supplements, we see that there has been a constant increase in their biological quality.
The first proteins on the market appeared in the 1940s. They then contained soya. Very difficult to digest, soybeans were replaced 10 years later by calcium caseinate (commonly known as casein but which, due to its artificial aggregation with calcium, was not digested very well). It wasn't until the 90s that whey became popular. Of a much higher quality than "casein", it quickly replaces the latter, which almost disappears. Nowadays, total milk proteins stand out on their own thanks to their digestive qualities and their perfect complementarity with whey.
No chemical or genetic manipulation
A simple chemical manipulation (known as “instantaneousization”) transforms poor quality, completely insoluble proteins into proteins that melt in water. At Nutrimuscle, we prefer to use quality proteins in order to avoid chemical processes. Nutrimuscle's total milk proteins are “non-instants”. Therefore, they do not contain transgenic soy lecithin (GMO) or carboxymethylcellulose, and have not undergone ionizing radiation treatments.
Why is a lot of protein processed by calf rennet?
This manipulation occurs during the manufacture of the cheese. Rennet is essential for altering the molecular structure of milk proteins so that they become cheese. Technically, rennet is said to be used to flocculate the casein part of milk. The latter is therefore contaminated by calf rennet while its amino acids have been degraded during the reaction of transformation of milk into cheese.
At Nutrimuscle, we only use noble material for our total proteins. They come directly from milk by cold ultrafiltration. Thus, the total proteins of Nutrimuscle milk are therefore not treated with calf abomasum. The integrity and the quality of the amino acids are therefore not altered, and no animal residue foreign to the milk is present. Nutrimuscle total milk proteins are therefore ideal for vegetarians who wish to supplement themselves with protein.
