Cyvex Nutrition has added artisan-crafted whey protein concentrate 80% to its protein ingredient line. The specialty concentrates are part of the latest corporate acquisition of Cyvex Nutrition's parent company, Omega Protein Corp. in February 2013.
The Wisconsin-manufactured whey protein is a source of certified organic cow, recombinant bovine growth hormone-free (rBGH) cow and pure goat nutritional supplement grade whey protein concentrates. It is hormone-free, gluten free and contains beneficial natural enzymes, vitamins, antioxidants and is rich in potassium and calcium. The whey protein concentrate also soothes the digestive and intestinal track, strengthening the immune system.
The whey comes from small specialty and artisan cheese makers who source their milk from local family-owned dairy farms and is USDA approved for organic production. Processing of the whey includes low temperature ultra-filtration and gentle drying.
"This artisan quality whey is produced with carefully selected ingredients and crafted using delicate process that results in an end product of the utmost quality, and we are pleased to have these whey protein concentrates to offer our customers for their functional food and beverage formulations," said Constance Ostler, director of sales and marketing at Cyvex Nutrition.
