where does the protein come from, if it's vegan and soy free?

Yes, whey is the protein source for this product. It is from grass fed cows raised in New Zealand who are not treated with antibiotics or given GMO grains.

I checked one of my cans. There are no animal products listed in the ingredients, however it does mention that they are produced in a facility that has fish and shellfish. As a vegan myself, this doesn't bother me, but for a person with fish or shellfish allergies, I might be concerned.

B12 comes from bacteria in the ground. That is how animals get it, not from their gut. Due to over-farming (to feed factory farmed animals) the soil is depleted of most nutrients and factory farmed animals are given B12 supplements. Vegans can get it from supplements, or from not washing veggies very well, since it's in dirt (no thanks! I'll stick to supplements or fortified foods for B12).

I'm looking at a bottle right now, and the label states that the glucosamine is derived from a vegetable source. The label gives no information about where the chondroitin comes from, but it is usually derived from cow, pig, or shark cartilage. If you're vegetarian, you'll probably have to find a different product. If you need to be absolutely sure about the source of ingredients, contact the company directly at jointjuice.com or call their customer service number: 888-642-9941.

It's lab generated, in sterile environments. I don't know how they gain the protein though. Here's my question: Why do you eat kosher meat only? Isn't it because of nutritional value, and smaller toxicity? Protein shakes are most nutritional, and have a way lower toxicity than any meat out there; even if they would derive the proteins from pig meat. However I do not believe they get their proteins from real meat. So my answer would answer your question only halfway. If you're concerned about toxicity and nutrition, I'd say it's Kosher. But if you want to be absolutely sure; to trace back how they get their protein (protein is protein, whether or not it comes from cow, horse, or pig meat, egg white, or soy), you'd have to contact the manufacturer. More then not they'd say their protein is gotten from Whey (cow milk)

The last one I bought (about a month or so ago) does NOT contain soy. It specifically says "free of...soybeans".

It says on the label "Certified free of soy protein, eggs, milk, gluten, peanuts, and shellfish." It's really an outstanding product.

I think there's dairy in it, which is why, despite the fact I love this stuff, I don't buy it any more -- I've gone vegan. I don't know if there's soy or gluten in it, but aside from a small minority of people, the alleged "harmful" effects are way overblown on both, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Unless you're among that small group, of course.

As far as i know, no. Soy protein is made from plants and whey is from animals. If you want a leaner look go for soy or if you want more muscle go for whey. Whey generally has more grams of protein per serving compared to whey. And to be honest my experience whey works best for me because i do more cardio its generally harder for me to gain weight and keep it on. But with whey protein ive seen beautiful results. This is actually a great and economic brand for use 10 stars all around.

I don't know the source of protein -- but you can probably find out by going to the KIND website

It says right on the label that it's vegan so no dairy or eggs. It goes on to say that it's soy, gluten and lactose free but I'm not sure about nuts.

Kass, it appears what I use, Vanilla Egg White Protein, contains Soy in the form of Lecithin - if that makes any sense.

The correct term would be alkali extraction. This is the final process to get your 90%+ protein from soy protein concentrate. Not that the extraction technique matters, this is soy isolate protein, the same type of soy isolate protein you are to find anywhere else. The only difference is it's being sold directly from the manufacturer. Tastes good, I suggest buying it.

the label states whey protein isolate (from milk), Less than 1.5% soy lecithin added to aid in product dispersibility. I assume this means the majority is from cows milk.
