What filtration process is used for LeanFit whey protein powders?
Our LeanFit whey protein powders are produced by a unique combination of, ultrafiltration and cross-flow microfiltration, a gentle physical process, which ensures that the proteins are not denatured and also preserves the proteins in its naturally occurring proportions. Ultrafiltration is the process of using a partly permeable membrane to separate much of the lactose and soluble minerals from the whey. This is done by forcing the lactose and other undesirables through the membrane at high pressure. The proteins which are too large to be forced through remain, thus creating a whey protein concentrate with a higher percentage of protein than before. Cross-flow Microfiltration is a state-of-the-art high tech manufacturing process that uses ceramic filters to remove the fat, lactose, and other unwanted materials, hence isolating the protein. The protein is not subjected to chemicals, therefore it is left unharmed and in its original state.
