Raw Whey Protein Powder- Natures Preferred Source

Raw Whey Protein Powder- The Ultimate Protein
Source

Raw Whey Protein Powder is a food partial derived from
cow's milk. The casein, which is a milk protein commonly
associated with allergies, is separated when producing whey
protein. Raw Whey Protein powder contains an excellent
spectrum of amino acids which are the building blocks of
protein and are also the precursors of hormones and
neurotransmitters such as thyroid hormone, serotonin,
melatonin, dopamine, adrenaline, etc. Raw whey protein
contains a large amount of beneficial proteins called
immunoglobulins which help the body heal and develop
proper immunity.

Egg white was long considered the gold standard for protein
quality and was assigned a biological availability value of
100%. Every other protein source such as beef or fish was
measured as a percent of the quality of egg white. But when
the biological availability of raw whey protein was discovered
to be more than 70% greater than that of egg whites, the
percents were changed to whole numbers. Egg whites were
assigned a value of 100 and raw whey protein powder
measures around 170 depending on the production methods.

Are all Whey Proteins the Same?

NO! Just as there are many different types of cheese, there are also many different methods of
extracting whey protein from whole milk and each process has an effect on the quality of the
whey produced. There is micro-filtration, ultra-filtration, cross-filtration, and ionization to name
a few. But the most important aspect of whey processing is heat, or more specifically, lack of
heat.

Raw milk has never been through the heating process of pasteurization which
destroys many of the beneficial enzymes of raw milk. Pasteurization also denatures the
protein which means the beneficial immunoglobulins are broken down into the individual amino
acids, losing the beneficial healing effects of the immunoglobulins. Further, heat causes the
amino acid cystine to be broken down into two molecules of the amino acid called cysteine
which when ingested does not make it through the digestive process in tact. This may be the
most important aspect of raw whey protein versus pasteurized whey. Raw whey protein is full of
cystine whereas pasteurized whey contains very little. That cystine will make it through the
digestive process and once absorbed it will be broken down into the all importent amino acid
called cysteine.

What is Cysteine? How does this help us Detox?

Cysteine is one of the 20 or so amino acids that combine to make up all of the different proteins
that make up life. Different combinations of the 20 amino acids make the diversity we see in the
proteins that make up enzymes, bones, muscles, nerves, hormones, etc. When we do not have
enough of one of the amino acids, our ability to make the proper proteins that our bodies need
is severely diminished.

Although every amino acid is important, the amino acid cysteine should hold special importance
to those trying to detoxify their bodies. Cysteine contains sulphur which means that cysteine
can bind to toxins and ship them to the liver where the liver can further detoxify and eliminate
those toxins. Without high sulphur containing amino acids such as cysteine, the body can not
effectively detoxify.

Cysteine is also a precursor to the most important anti-oxidant in the body- glutathione.
Glutathione is the most abundant anti-oxidant in the body that protects us from damage due to
toxins and free radicals. Glutathione is found in the highest concentration in the brain and the
liver. No wonder low glutathione levels are closely linked to neurologic disorders such as
parkinsons and alzheimers as well as cirrhosis of the liver. Glutathione is also in charge of
pushing toxic metals, such as mercury, out of brain cells so that the other detox pathways can
eliminate the toxic metals from the body. Without cysteine, there would be no glutathione to
help your body eliminate toxic metals or to protect your precious brain or liver.

Clearly, our bodies require large amounts of cysteine (from cystine) which is most available in
Raw Whey Protein.

Can I get Cysteine/Cystine from other protein
sources?

In short, not enough. We've already established why pasteurized milk and pasteurized whey
protein are poor sources for cysteine/cystine. But let's look at other common protein sources.

Goat's milk- As a whole food, goats milk is preferable over cows milk because it contains very
few allergens and is much easier to digest than cows milk. But when you compare the protein
content in goats milk to that of the low allergen raw whey protein, there is no comparison in the
bio-availability and cysteine/cystine content. Raw whey is much higher in both and raw whey is
equally as easy to digest as goats milk. Further, raw goats milk is very difficult to obtain unless
you own a goat. Yet, unpasteurized (raw) whey protein is available.

Soy- If you want to detoxify, this is definitely NOT the protein source for you. For one thing
there is virtually zero cysteine in soy protein and second, soy contains high amounts of
phyto-estrogens which will bog down your detoxification pathways. In fact, one serving of soy
based infant formula contains the same amount of estrogen as five birth control
pills!!! Stay away from soy protein.

Where can I get Raw Whey Protein?

Unfortunately, most health food stores and nutrient shops
do not understand the benefits of raw whey protein
versus pasteurized whey so the best place to obtain it is
from Complete Health. I carry a professional grade raw
whey protein that was made from organic milk of grass
fed cows using only a low heat filtration system that
completely leaves the cysteine in tact. This also insures
that the milk is high in omega-3's and another molecule
called CLA which aids in fat burning. It is by far the finest
source of whey protein I have found.
