BiPro

For years we carried the ONLY ion exchange whey protein isolate made in the USA called BiPro. It was a very high quality whey isolate. Containing the highest protein % of all protein powders with a protein % of 98%. the next closest thing is my aussie at 95%.

Then the whey protein shortage happened and they halted shipping to company's like PF.

Now we are getting it back in. Should be here in a couple of weeks.

Here's a bunch of info on it.

Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Scoring (PDCAAS)
What is protein quality and how is it measured?
Nutritionists have long declared proteins as an important part of a healthful diet. Proteins provide amino acids that are required for growth and maintenance of the human body. However, proteins from different sources are composed of different amino acids. Because of the differences in composition, not all proteins can meet the needs of the human body. It is important to determine the quality of proteins that are utilized in food formulations.

Historically, the quality of proteins has been determined by Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), which measures the weight gain of growing rats when being fed the test protein. This value, as compared to weight gain on the standard protein (casein), gives an indication of the quality of the test protein. The PER value of casein is 2.7. Any protein that has a higher value is considered an excellent quality protein. Whey proteins generally have a PER of 3.2.

Nutritionists have recently recognized that the PER method of classifying protein quality only reflected the amino acid requirements for the rat rather than the actual human amino acid requirements. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) established a new method to compare the quality of various proteins based on the amino acid requirements of humans. This method, known as protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) is an internationally recognized method. According to this method, an ideal protein that meets all the essential amino acid requirements of human body will have a value of 1.0.




Amino Acid Pattern

The chart compares the essential amino acid pattern as suggested by FAO/WHO to that of BiPRO. BiPRO contains greater amounts of every essential amino acid that is required by 2-5 year old children.

PDCAAS of BiPRO

We at Davisco Foods International are very proud to say that BiPRO has received a PDCAAS value of 1.14. This work was conducted by Nutrition International, an experienced laboratory in the industry for conducting clinical analysis. PDCAAS values of greater than 1.0 indicate a high digestibility and a high ratio of amino acid profile in BiPRO as compared to FAO's reference profile. FDA does not allow values of greater than 1.0 to be declared on the label, so BiPRO must be written as 1.0.

BiPRO whey protein isolate (WPI) is the first of a new generation of dairy ingredients, which combine superior nutrition, enhanced functionality, complete solubility, and neutral flavor. BiPRO is a completely natural, unique dairy protein produced from pasteurized whey through proprietary selective ion exchange technology. The unique ion-exchange process selects the primary functional and nutritional proteins – beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin – for isolation and spray drying. In their pure form these functional whey protein groups can be used to replace much larger quantities of caseinates, soy protein, WPC, egg whites, or gelling agents. Thus in formulas where nutrition, high gel strength, viscosity, aeration, water binding, or solubility are crucial, BiPRO can radically improve the nutrition and flavor of any food or beverage. BiPRO provides the competitive edge, in terms of nutrition, functionality and flavor, for the introduction of successful, new products.

Whey protein is a high quality protein source derived from milk and is the co-product in the manufacture of cheese. Whey protein is a collective term that describes the cow’s milk proteins that are soluble in the low pH environment created when making cheese. Whey protein isolates are defined as having >90% protein on a dry weight basis.

Protein is an important nutrient needed by everyone on a daily basis. It is made up of essential and non-essential amino acids, which are the “building blocks” for healthy bodies. Proteins are necessary to repair body cells, to build and repair muscles and bones, to provide a source of energy, and to control many of the important processes in the body related to metabolism.

Nutritional Properties of BiPRO

BiPRO is a high quality, complete protein that delivers all of the essential amino acids needed by the human body, without carbohydrates and fat. In addition to providing protein to the diet, many other health benefits have been attributed to consumption of whey protein. Whey protein has been proven to have a positive effect in a number of areas including physical performance, weight management, immunity, and infant formula.

Physical Performance and BiPRO
Whey protein initially gained popularity in sports nutrition products as a source of high quality protein and as a rich source of the branched chain amino acids (BCAA) isoleucine, leucine and valine, necessary for building muscle and lean body mass, and improving body composition and enhancing athletic performance. BiPRO is a soluble, easy to digest whey protein that is quickly absorbed into the body to start rebuilding and repairing lean muscle

are you going to add the blueberry flavor

I am curious to see how much it costs.

Is the additional 3% improvement in purity going to be like the difference in price between the hydro 520 and Peptopro?

good ?. Once its ready, I would like to try this as well

Just a note. Peptopro is a caseinate, more like 1300 Hydro, so not as big of a price difference. Also, I've gotten the impression that the high price of pp is due to the manufacturer, not really due to the actual production costs.

Bipro is going to be expensive. about $12.00 per pound. DSOTM, you touched on something interesting. the whey isolate, the branded ones that is do run slightly more than the generics...but thats pretty much with everything...but it remains true that the quality of the protein is better than generics. My favorite. Isochill, CFM, and Bipro. the three kings of the whey isolate world.

I am also a big fan of protein coming from New Zealand and Australia. They quality is just superb.

The WPC's they are all generic. You have about 10 to 15 U.S. based manufacturers. About 3 down under, and a bunch in Europe.

~ $12 / pound is NOT overly expensive ... I was curious if the price were going to be above $20 / pound, like the Peptopro and the Super Plasma.

~ $12 / pound is actually an awesome price ... thanks for the heads up!
