Protein Hydrolysate
CautionProtein
Protein hydrolysate is a form of protein that has been broken down into smaller peptides, often used to stimulate muscle growth and recovery.
What is Protein Hydrolysate?
Protein hydrolysate is a type of protein that has undergone enzymatic hydrolysis, a process that breaks protein into smaller peptide chains. This makes it easier to digest and absorb, which is why it is often found in sports nutrition products. Protein hydrolysates can come from various sources, including whey, soy, milk, and grains.

Why People Avoid Protein Hydrolysate
People may avoid protein hydrolysates if they have allergies or sensitivities to the source of the protein, such as soy or milk. Additionally, for individuals following an oat-free diet, it is crucial to verify the source of the protein hydrolysate, as it could potentially be derived from grains like oats. If a product does not specify its protein source or confirm it is oat-free, it is advisable to contact the manufacturer for clarification.
