Frequently Asked Questions

Isolates undergo a more intense filtration process to remove nearly all of the fat and lactose, leaving behind a purer product with over 90% protein on a dry basis. Isolates are preferred by athletes for the protein purity. Concentrates are a great way to add extra protein into your diet. They are much more affordable per gram and are some are the best-selling and best-tasting whey that we have. Bodylogix® Natural Isolate is a whey isolate and Bodylogix® Natural Whey is a whey concentrate.

Whey protein hydrolysate is whey protein concentrate that has been partially broken down by enzymes. This allows it to be absorbed more rapidly than whey concentrate or isolate.

Whey protein is a by-product of cheese, which is a product of cow’s milk. The process of converting milk into cheese is dependent on coagulating through the use of an enzyme. The enzymes in this product are sourced from microbial fermentation. It is low temperature processed with cross-flow micro-filtration and ultra-filtration methodology.

They are: Alpha-lactalbumin 23%, beta-lactoglobulin 65%, glycomacropeptide 8%, bovine serum albumin >1%, immunoglobulin, lactoferrin, and growth factor are <1%. There is no alpha, beta or kappa casein which speaks to the purity of the whey protein.

Bodylogix® sources several types of whey including New Zealand, European, American and/or Canadian cows. Whenever possible, cows are given pasture access. Due to harsh winter weather conditions, it may be necessary to sometimes keep the cows inside. For products containing New Zealand Whey, the mild climate allows cows to have year-round pasture access.

The exact temperature used in processing whey protein for Bodylogix protein powders is proprietary information. We can assure you the protein is NOT denatured — whey denatures when it is exposed to temperatures above 159.8 degrees F.

Bodylogix® Natural Whey contains about 3-6% lactose. Bodylogix® Natural Isolate contains around 1%. Vegan protein contains no lactose.

Bodylogix® Natural Whey and Natural Isolate protein powders are VegeCert Vegetarian certified. Whey is sourced from milk and processed with microbial enzymes, not animal rennet and we only use plant-based lecithin as an emulsifier. Our protein powders do not contain eggs or any other animal by products.

Bodylogix® Vegan Protein comes from five plant sources: organic pumpkin seed, sprouted whole grain brown rice, pea, chia seed and sprouted quinoa. Our Vegan Protein is an excellent protein supplement for those who choose to avoid animal-based proteins or have dietary sensitivities to milk products like whey protein.

Bodylogix® Vegan Protein has a distinctly different taste and has a thicker texture than any other protein we offer because it is plant-based and contains more fiber. People who enjoy our vegan shakes commonly blend them with water, fresh fruit or almond milk.

No.

No, only vegetarian rennet is used to separate the milk components during cheese making.

L-Glutamine is derived through fermentation of a sugar source such as corn, beets or cane sugar, etc. Since the source changes based on availability, we opted to only list “vegetable source” on our label. It is not animal derived.

Bodylogix® BCAAs are derived from fermentation of a sugar source like corn, beets or sugar cane. These products use sunflower lecithin and does not contain soy.

Yes. Bodylogix® protein products use Dutch cocoa powder. This processing provides a milder chocolate taste.

Bodylogix® vanilla flavor is made with an extract of real vanilla beans. The extract can be water or alcohol based. For the alcohol based vanilla extracts, the alcohol is removed at the end of the extraction. To confirm this, we test these ingredients for residual alcohol content following USP methods.

Natural flavors use only components found in nature as opposed to artificial flavors which are entirely synthesized in a lab. Natural flavors are comprised of many compounds, some of which have long, chemical names like 2-Isobutylthiazole and cis-3-hexenal, which are two of the many compounds that give tomatoes their characteristic flavor. We are unable to list all components of natural flavors on our product due to available space.

Soy lecithin is an emulsifier that helps the whey protein mix with water (or your favourite beverage) quickly and without clumps.

Preparation & Consumption

There are many great alternatives to simply mixing your powder with water. All types of milk and juices can be used. Please see our recipes for some great shake ideas.

Bodylogix® whey protein should be avoided by people with milk allergies. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a liver or kidney disease should consult their health care practitioner before use, if they plan to supplement with more than 30g protein per day. People sensitive to lactose may want to avoid Bodylogix® Natural Whey.

While it is perfectly safe to consume Bodylogix® protein powder in a hot beverage, high temperatures may result in protein denaturing and clumping. For the best consistency, mix protein powder into liquid after warming.

If you are on a low protein diet, we recommend you discuss your desire to use a whey protein with your doctor or health care practitioner before starting any new supplement. He or she will want to monitor you closely to ensure adding protein to your diet does not impact your health condition.

Packaging

During shipping the powder often acts as a quicksand which envelopes the scoop. It is likely buried somewhere within the product powder.

Yes Bodylogix® bottles and lids can be recycled where facilities exist. Check your local recycling depot for acceptable plastics.

Bodylogix® products are filled based on weight and not volume. As the product is transported and then stored, the powder settles which increases the amount of space in the bottle. In addition, our bottles require specialized machinery for filling. This machinery requires a certain amount of available space in the bottle in order for the equipment to fill the bottle with powder. Please be assured you are receiving the number of servings indicated on the bottle.

NSF is a voluntary third-party standard Bodylogix® has chosen to pursue. NSF certification means the product has been produced in a facility that is GMP registered with regular on-site inspections of manufacturing compliance. Before the certification logo can be added to the label, products are tested to ensure the ingredients listed on the package are in the product. Every product is regularly verified for potency and purity. Random re-testing ensures the claims of quality ingredients are accurate and true.
