Ultra Whey COMPLEX Volactive®

Ultra Whey Complex is the 50% whey protein concentrate and 50% isolate product, manufactured using microfiltration and cross-flow ultrafiltration processes to obtain a whey with a high protein value (50%), without altering its properties. These proteins have a very high Biological Value and naturally contain essential (EAA) and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA).

It consists of Volactive® UltraWhey XP certified starting material of the highest quality on the market. Ultra Whey Complex contains 50% WPC (Whey Protein Concentrate) and 50% WPI (Whey Protein Isolate), making it possible to benefit from the characteristics of both types of protein.

WPCs contain high levels of growth factors, phospholipids, bioactive lipids and often also immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, and are rapidly absorbed proteins with a good digestion rate (45 minutes – 1 hour). WPIs, on the other hand, are the purest form of Whey, have a very high biological value, naturally contain branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and boast rapid absorption and a good digestion rate (30 – 45 minutes).

Ultra Whey Complex therefore provides a protein-rich mix (more than 23 g per serving!) with different absorption times: those typical of a WPC and those typical of a WPI.

Protein powders are indicated for meeting daily protein requirements, both for athletes with high protein needs and for sedentary individuals who want to enrich their snacks and breakfasts.

Proteins favour the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, have a plastic function (i.e. they facilitate tissue repair and construction), constitute hormones and enzymes, act as transporters and contribute, in the form of antibodies, to immune activities.

What does Volactive UltraWhey XP certification and starting material mean?

Volac® is a gold standard in dairy production and animal husbandry, and the largest producer of nutritional whey proteins for “Lifestyle” applications in Europe. It has earned a reputation as an absolute innovator in production technology and development in the field of nutrition.

The Volac® technical and scientific team draws on the company’s 40-year heritage in whey processing and the use of state-of-the-art ultrafiltration techniques. The Volactive® product range is the result of the use of the latest and most complex membrane and spray drying technologies, which effectively stabilise the protein material by reducing protein denaturation to an absolute minimum, thus providing whey proteins with nutritional profiles that are far superior to protein preparations obtained by other processing methods that may compromise their stability.

The protein isolate obtained from this starting material contains at least 92% whey protein. It is therefore called XP (Xtra Pure), a term used to emphasise the extra purity of this ingredient, which is ultrafiltered through a low-temperature, low-pressure process.
