Whey protein without additives

The best for post-workout recovery.

Whey protein without additives

In athletes, protein requirements are higher due to increased muscle catabolism. Appropriate amino acid nutrition is therefore necessary to cover the needs associated with stimulating protein synthesis during recovery from muscular exercise.

Classic range No added sugar range Single-dose Packs

Whey protein classic range
No additives - No sweeteners

  • Protein-rich, doping substance- and gluten-free standards
  • Proteins help maintain and strengthen muscle fibres
  • Optimal recovery, source of post-workout carbohydrates, sugar equivalent of half an apple
  • Protein isolate mechanically obtained by cold microfiltration/ultrafiltration, no reheating before drying
  • Produced from milk from pastures in the Rhône-Alpes region, manufactured and packaged by Protéalpes in Albertville.

Whey protein range with no added sugar

No additives - No sweeteners

  • Ideal for those seeking an unsweetened taste
  • Protein-rich, doping substance- and gluten-free standards
  • Proteins help maintain and strengthen muscle fibres
  • Optimum recovery
  • Protein isolate mechanically obtained by cold microfiltration/ultrafiltration, no reheating before drying
  • Produced from milk from pastures in the Rhône-Alpes region, manufactured and packaged by Protéalpes in Albertville.

To remain true to our values of Health and Performance, we have decided not to make any concessions, and therefore not to use any sweeteners on this range with no added sugar.

As a result, these muscle nutrition products are suitable for training athletes with a strict sugar program, or simply looking for a high-quality drink with an unsweetened taste.

After diluting one dose in a shaker with 200 ml of water, the drink contains less than 2% carbohydrates, but just as many amino acids and BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine).

Our flagship whey protein in detail

  • Improved anaerobic and aerobic performance (strength and endurance).
  • Muscular development, reduction in the fat/lean mass ratio, weight gain, weight control.
  • Recovery and strengthening of muscle fibers damaged during training.

Whey proteins, or whey, are dietary supplements for sports nutrition that :

  • Excellent digestibility
  • Almost immediate availability of amino acids
  • Are rich in essential amino acids, particularly BCAAs
  • Absorb faster than most other protein sources, giving them superior anabolic and anti-catabolic effects.

What's the difference with other wheys on the market?

We deal directly with a union of dairy producers (Union des Producteurs de Beaufort), which means we don't go through intermediaries, wholesalers or milk giants. This unique proximity to local primary producers ensures total traceability.

We carefully manufacture our nutrition products in Albertville, in the heart of the Alps. The fact that we use no subcontractors, and keep and control all stages of production in-house, enables us to control the quality of our nutrition products, and in particular to be certified NF EN 17444 (formerly NF V94-001), a European anti-doping sports standard.

This standard certifies the absence of doping contaminants in our products, bearing in mind that on average, 15% of dietary supplements on the market contain doping substances such as anabolic steroids (1).

Respect for the environment, animals and people

  • Low concentration of animals in Rhône-Alpes pastures (up to 2,500 m)
  • Small-scale farms in the French Alps
  • Traditional breeds with low yields (Tarines, Abondances), adapted to mountain environments
  • Traditional grass and hay diet from the geographical area, GMO-free
  • Coherence and sustainable development of the agricultural system with its environment and time.

Terms of use

  • Pour 150 to 200 ml of liquid (water, plant milk, milk or mixture) into a shaker, then add 1 portion of whey (1 measuring spoon provided = 1 portion).
  • Mix in a shaker, shaking up and down.
  • Finish with light circular movements of the shaker*.

*As we don't use lecithin (a foam-reducing surfactant), a light layer of foam may appear after mixing too vigorously. This is perfectly normal and will disappear within a few minutes.

Why a whey with no added sugars or sweeteners?

This version, with no added sugar or sweeteners, is adapted to the needs of diabetic athletes, or those who don't want a sweet taste in their post-workout or muscle-recovery drink.

Gluten-free and low in lactose, these whey proteins are ideal for the nutrition of athletes who want to add their own sugar and carbohydrate sources, such as maple syrup, coconut sugar, honey...

What are sweeteners and why do most industrial whey products contain them?

Sweeteners are synthetic and/or processed compounds designed to replace sugar in a food product. The reason for this substitution is to reduce the caloric intake of the product in question, while giving it an extremely sweet taste, even on a so-called "zero sugar" product, for muscle nutrition and/or muscle gain. The issue is also financial, since sweeteners are less expensive than sucrose for the same sweetening power.

For many producers of whey protein, isolate, BCAA and protein powder, the addition of a sweetener is necessary to mask the taste of medium-quality proteins.

By adding sweeteners to whey (sucralose, aspartame, steviol glycosides, acesulfame k...), it will have a flavor that is a priori much more conducive to consumption, and therefore to marketing.

Thanks to their low price, these additives are often used in conjunction with others, such as emulsifiers (often soy lecithin), thickeners, colorants...

All Protéalpes wheys are certified additive- and sweetener-free.

Is there any danger in consuming protein powders containing sweeteners?

At first glance, sweeteners have all the qualities of whey enhancers, without the drawbacks of sugar. They have hundreds of times the sweetening power of ordinary sugar, and provide very few calories. However, these "empty" molecules have no nutritional value for athletes, and more and more studies are casting doubt on the safety of these compounds.

In recent years, researchers have been particularly interested in sucralose (E955). This organochlorine is currently one of the most widely used sweeteners, alongside aspartame, in most whey products. Their advice is clear: according to the studies "Sucralose affects glycemic and hormonal responses to an oral glucose load" and "Sucralose, A Synthetic Organochlorine Sweetener: Overview of Biological Issues", this sugar substitute can disrupt metabolism in a number of ways. Repeated intake, for example, can lead to hormonal imbalances, metabolic disorders and disruption of intestinal flora.

The sweetening power of sweeteners is also detrimental to endurance athletes and body-builders. For example, sucralose is up to 700 times sweeter than ordinary sugar, for the same dose. By taking whey protein shakes, you gradually get your brain used to this excessively sweet taste. Gradually, you'll seek out this sweet taste in your daily diet or in other dietary supplements you consume. Paradoxically, by choosing a "sugar-free" but sweetened protein powder, the consumer is driven to consume increasingly large doses of sugar.

Can you cook with your wheys?

That's right! This is one of the main advantages of our unsweetened whey proteins. Indeed, synthetic sweeteners like sucralose form toxic compounds when heated, for example during cooking.


With quality whey proteins free of additives and sweeteners, you can easily and naturally enrich your cooking preparations, without the risk of consuming undesirable synthetic compounds.


Même si issue du lait, l’isolat de protéine (poudre de protéines brute) est pauvre en lactose (< 5% de lactose), et en graisse (matières grasses).

These milk proteins are naturally rich in BCAAs and essential amino acids.


Whey protein is ideal for enriching culinary preparations. For post-training use, or as a snack during the day, it's an essential nutritional ally for your body. Its beneficial effects can be felt in muscle recovery, mass gain and weight control.
