does caseins contain lactose?

[Busquets+]

I just got a bucket of casein protein and I had no idea it could contain lactose which I am intolerant to, by any chance do you guys know if casein protein contains lactose? it's no on the ingredients but I rather to ask first before start taking it.

Lactose is NOT an ingredient. It's a naturally occurring chemical in milk products.

If, as with many products, they show you in their profile a bit which suggests 'carbs - as sugars' then this is almost certainly Lactose. So yes a casein protein will contain lactose.

 

[Lev Butlerov]

Well, casein is a milk derivative, so yes - most probably it will contain lactose. I say most probably, because there are brands that sell lactose-free casein, so if you are that concerned about lactose, you may as well find one of these companies.

i would take it back

you want to try a good quality whey isolate. n2bm sells one. it does not contain lactose, but it still is milk derived. not everyone reacts well to milk, even if it is lactose free.

If you want no lactose then get a pure whey isolate product like WTBM. Head over to n2bm and check out the awesome flavours they have like PB Crunch.

You could also get a beef protein if you want something that is not dairy at all.

A pure micellar casein, milk protein isolate or calcium caseinate supplement will have only trace amounts of lactose and is safe to use by someone lactose intolerant.

Just make sure to read the ingredients list and make sure there are no ingredients like 'whey protein concentrate' or 'milk protein concentrate' listed.
