i am a vegetarian, and i have done some research on whether whey protein vegetarian, and i got mixed answers, but most of them saying it depends on the processing. so can you help me understand if this is a vegetarian protien or not , and why ?

Vegetarian means no meat, as opposed to VEGAN, which would be nothing coming FROM an animal. It IS vegetarian. It is NOT vegan, as it comes from milk. If you are VEGAN, you will need a soy protein instead.

I'm not even sure if your question makes sense. It's an amino acid. You could get it from any protein source with the right components. It might even be completely synthetic. It's kind of like asking if this is the vegetarian carbon.

Also I have tried many different kind of protein and with each one after research have realized that there are some problems with it such as too much metal in the protein or too much sugar or other issues. But just today have purchase a type of protein that is made from peas with no sugar and it's organic. Most important of all it cold processed. Once I receive it and try it then I do se research on it and figure out if it's truly the ultimate and superior.

19 grams. You should be able to get an image of the ingredients from and amazon web site? A little less protein than the non organic. I think that this is a good product and reasonably priced. It seems like most other whey products have other unnecessary ingredients.

It has whey protein in it but it is not a good source of protein in general. Isopure is my preferred source.

You'd have to check with the manufacturer. They call it a natural product, but "natural" does not have any standardized or regulatory meaning. Everyone is free to decide for themselves what is natural. It's also vegan/vegetarian. You'd have to look at the ingredient list and decide for yourself if there are any ingredients that you don't want to ingest.

Currently it is porcine. However, they are soon coming out with both vegetarian and kosher versions. Log onto www.smartypantsvitamins.com and access the FAQ list. Your question is there and as well as the explanation of why. They offer to put you on their mailing list so that you would be advised when the other two versions are available. I love this product. Allergies aside (for you) it is the only vitamin supplement product of any kind that I have been able to tolerate in over 30 years. I am in my late 50's and have been using it for 3 years.

Yes, it still says Whey Protein, nothing about peas. Makes me quite hesitant to buy it!

Hi, looking at my jar, I do not see whey protein listed, only soy protein. The list of ingredients is quite long, so I will give you their website off the jar & maybe you can find out directly from them. It's www.Lifeburst.com Hope this helped some.

Not knowing the answer, I checked the label and the only ingredient which could have been from an animal source. I called the company and they stated the zinc was not from an animal source. The product should be safe for vegetarians.

I think it is comparable to other whey proteins. I take it pretty consistently so I'm not sure what my results would be without using it. I will say that I use this just to supplement the natural proteins I eat in my everyday diet. I usually just take one scoop a day; any more than that your body just flushes it in your urine...or at least that's what I've been told. I have stuck with it because I think it tastes the bests.

I just saw this question raised and contacted the company. They got back to me the very next day and directed me to this link: http://www.gardenoflife.com/Portals/11/Documents/Raw-Protein-Safety-Quick-Reference_2-7-14.pdfI will continue to use this product with confidence as I have been using it for years.

It is vegetable protein, you can read the ingredients at her website, JJ Virgin. It is delicious! I love it and drink one every morning, sometimes 2 a day. I add beets, kale leaves or chard. So yummy!

This amino acid (tryptophan) is found in (and can be extracted from) most plants and animal products (see Wikipedia). So, suppliments of this could be vegitarian/vegan compliant, but only if the manufacturer made the effort. Go to Source Naturals website. Note that they are expanding their Vegan True Line of suppliments, but it appears L-Tryptophan is not a part of this (yet). There is much info about L-Tryptophan at their site, but no mention of the amino acid source(s) or vegitarian/vegan compliance. So, with this level of info, we just don't know the status of this suppliment. If it's important, you could ask them (see contact info at their website).

I did not know the answer to that, but reading the other answers, I guess I will always purchase the vegetarian type. Good to know. Thank you.
