Question 1

What are the ingredients?

Accepted Answer

Here's an updated answer for anyone looking for the ingredients in 2021 and beyond.  Solgar has removed some of the nutrients and replaced them with fillers and sweetners.  I'm a long time user of this product and have seen it change for the worse a couple times, but this is the final straw, and I've moved to another brand. Solgar used to be the best, but not so anymore.

Question 2

Does this product contain lead/arsenic/other metals?

Accepted Answer

In 2010 Consumer Reports tested  15 brands and varieties of protein drinks for arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Whey to Go did the best compared with the other 14. Some samples of Whey to Go showed a slight amount of arsenic (three servings measured at 4% of the maximum proposed by the U.S. Pharmacopeia; in other words, you could expect one serving to come in at 1.3% of the maximum for arsenic) and other samples of Whey to Go measured no arsenic.  CR measured no cadmium, lead, or mercury in Whey to Go.  Some of the other 14 protein drinks  showed above the maximum proposed by the U.S. Pharmacopeia for one or another of those 4 metals, if you drink three servings.  I wish CR would I wish CR would do an update, since it's been 5 years.

Question 3

Is soy an ingredient in this product?

Accepted Answer

The protein is 100% whey based but there is a small % (most likely less than 1 - 2%) of soy lecithin as an emulsifier. Since lecithin is a highly refined ingredient there is little to no protein left so it is an incidental ingredient. If it is an allergen concern, recommendation is to avoid. If you are not concerned about allergen, this is an excellent product.

Question 4

is this from grassfed cows?

Accepted Answer

The label states "This product is manufactured from cows not treated with rBGH, recombinant bovine growth hormone."  I would recommend called Solgar, Inc. at 1-877-SOLGAR 4 or going to their website at solgar.com.  Hope this helps.
