Bagged whey

[Steve Gardener]

We took delivery of a new batch of the bagged whey and have held some stock back at our packers plant so as to be able to choose whether or not to get some tubbed or bagged. Hopefully this will resolve future stock issues.

Another point, which has proved very useful for us, is tying down a limited but constant supply of WPC 75. The company which supplies us has located a new source of NZ WPC and an agreement between us and them means we are one of just two companies selling unflavoured bulk amounts that can get their hands on the said product.

Tie that in with another agreement we have with them has meant, just this last week, one of the smaller rivals we have having to come to us to source WPC 80. As you can imagine this helps keep our books nice n healthy.

So not only do we have the bagged whey back in stock and at great prices but we are doing what we can to ensure a constantly flowing supply of the same.

Please note: We are currently selling a lower priced 'non-instant' version of the WPC 80 for a trial period.

S'ok I knew what you meant. I asked this question of our suppliers. I simple terms an 'instantized' whey mixes more freely than a non-instant whey. Most wheys mix a hell of a lot better than old protein powders used to.

The process of instantization, as I was told, involves taking a non-instant whey and blowing it down a long tube using warm air. The warm air, although causing some denaturing (not as big as deal as is sometimes made out) both dries out the particles (a whey protein will be about 5% moisture by content) and this drying out means that the particles clump together. This makes the powder slightly granular but also dry and thus the larger particles (although still relatively small) wont stick to each other as much as a non-instant whey and so mix and blend more easily. Thus marketing phrases used on other sites such as 'mixes with a spoon' were born. They neglect to add that this is even more true of flavoured WPC's with sugar and similar added to them which will make it even easier if less healthy.

Hope that helps

Ok. If I was to buy some of your unflavoured Whey protein, What can I mix it with? Anything?
Orange juice, milk, water? Can I buy flavourings to mix with it?
Sorry about what may seem Daft, unimportant questions, but I'm new and not quite sure what I'm doing
Thanks Jr

Check our main site for suggestions in the recipies section. Personally I have mine with water but a bunch have asked me about having it with milk and replied 'as you like it'.

Steve, I know your gonna rip the piss now, but I got a couple of questions, What is better to mix your 75% whey with? Milk or Water. and how much protien does a heaped scoop of the power contain? Cheers.

I prefer water but it's up to you. And depends on the scoop size. Our 50ml equates to about 22g protein
