Recently we were told that Swanson’s Premium Whey Protein powder had added a new ingredient to their formula on their website. One of our Trim Healthy Mama Admins did some research and has been in communication with their Swanson support team over the past few days. We finally got the scoop and here is a snippet from the email she received.
"We apologize for any inconvenience and would be happy to explain. We have had a formulation change done to our Whey Protein Powder. The formulation now contains both a whey concentrate and a whey isolate.
While we still have stock left of the old formulation that was made up entirely of whey isolate, we have the new formulation in stock right now as well and are shipping out the new product from warehouses that have it available. We cannot tell which batch an order of this product will come from so we are unable to guarantee whether the new formulation or the old formulation will be sent on a particular order. “
Although the new formula will still be within the carb range that we recommend, we are concerned about the concentrate being added. If you have just ordered some you can make a choice as to what you want to do. You can choose to use it up or they do have a great return policy.
Serene recently wrote an excellent article about whey protein that goes hand in hand with this. It will explain why we recommend the Cross Flow Microfiltered Isolate and not whey concentrate. There is even a section in the article that explains why many companies choose to add concentrate to their formula.
www.trimhealthymama.com/ezine-thm-research-institute/Because of this change in ingredients, we can no longer recommend Swanson’s Premium Whey Protein Powder as it is written in the Trim Healthy Mama book.
Thanks for understanding.
