Most protein powders are not all that great tasting. This particular protein powder comes highly recommended by several athletes I interviewed for its taste and effectiveness. What we at sportsmedinfo like about it is the ingredients. No artificial sweetners that have that chemical taste. It is sweetened with all natural stevia, making it worthy for those who have to watch sugar intake.
Whey Factors is considered the gold standard for athletes and the physically fit. It is well-known that whey protein has the highest biological value, a measurement of how well a protein retains nitrogen, or how usable it is to the body. High nitrogen absorption enhances muscle gain and benefits your immune system, keeping you healthy to participate in events for which you've trained so hard.
No sugar, No artificial sweetners and mixes well.
Less expensive whey protein powders are often heated during processing, denaturing the amino acid chains. This process should not happen in the factory. Basically, that kind of processing reduces the quality of the protein powder. The quality of Whey Factors' ingredients is superior to most protein powders out there and there are a lot of them touting enormous claims.
Secondly, it mixes easily in milk and doesn't get all lumpy. Some of them are impossible to mix.
Whey Factors is a pure source of high quality whey protein, with no added sugar that provides support for muscle development and repair as well as the immune system.

But best of all it tastes good and not just tolerable. Some of them have that 'oversweet' flavor typical of fructose. The stevia in this is nice and smooth without that hyper sweetened taste.
Flavors are Unflavored (obviously not a flavor), French Vanilla, Double Chocolate, Matcha Green Tea and Strawberry. We'll have to admit we've not tried the Green Tea flavor nor had any of the athletes and one senior either. It does sound a bit questionable. We'll have to see if any other reviewers out there have given that one a test drive.

This low carbohydrate protein powder contains no growth hormones. Of course if you mix it with regular and not organic milk, you do have growth hormones but it doesn't come in the mix.

Whey Factors is an excellent dietary source of protein for athletes but also for any active adults, children, the elderly or anyone who needs to boost their protein and vitamin intake and therefore boost the immune system.
Low in lactose, and with only 1 gram of digestible carbohydrates per serving, you get the highest percentage of protein per gram of whey. Anti-inflammatory bromelain and other enzymes make Whey Factors easy to digest. (You can see our review on bromelain here.)
Shed unwanted pounds
Because it does promote a feeling of fullness, people often shed unwanted pounds. Protein generally increases a sense of fullness more than fat, therefore decreasing your total calorie intake.
The body also requires more energy to digest protein, so it burns more calories after a high-protein meal. Whey is also rich in leucine, an essential amino acid that may preserve lean muscle mass while promoting fat loss.
Mixing Directions
Mix 1 scoop (20 g) in a 6 fluid ounces or more of water and shake in a shaker cup. Use 1-3 times per day or as directed by a health professional. Serving Option: Try Whey Factors mixed in milk or your favorite beverage; soy, rice or almond milk. Whey Factors tastes delicious!
Contraindications
Whey Factors powder drink mix is not expected nor does it have a history of adverse effects. It is generally considered safe for use by children.
If concerned, speak with a health care practitioner prior to use. If you are pregnancy or nursing, whey is ideal for the pregnant woman as pregnancy increases the body's need for protein. As always, do speak with your health care practitioner prior to use. There are no known special precautions for seniors.
