Protein Prices Increasing Market Wide

Throughout the country, higher dairy prices are trickling
down to the consumer, from gallons of milk to an ice cream
sundae. Industry experts say the prices are driven in part
by foreign demand for American milk products, and ethanol
producers competing for the same corn farmers use to feed
livestock.

Recent price hikes in the dairy industry - beginning with
whey protein - have also sent the cost of processed
protein, cheese, cottage cheese, butter, ice cream and
other products soaring throughout the country, dairy
industry experts say. One result is that supplement
manufacturers such as Foundation Nutriceuticals have been
forced to increase the prices for their whey proteins, whey
protein isolates and milk protein. This in turn this
trickles down to national supplement companies like World
Class Nutrition. They are forced to increase their prices
to the customer. Mr Alexander from World Class Nutrition
states "We made some large buys of protein at the
pre-increase price levels but our supply has almost been
depleted." Mr Alexander told us that once the word got out
on the internet that one could still buy cheap protein,
their sales increase by 400%.

Whey protein has become the premier form of protein used in
nutritional products, shakes, and bars. Whey protein has
one of the best absorption rates which has lead to its high
demand. If you look on the label for any major product,
you will see that whey is protein used in most cases.

Whey protein will still be the major protein of choice for
athletes, bodybuilders, and people achieving weight loss.
The only problem being the prices will be going up to
something other than inflation. Whey protein still stands
as the best protein choice for supplements.

Even with the rise in prices for whey protein, you still
want to stay clear of soy protein. Studies have shown that
high amounts of soy protein can lower your testosterone and
increase your estrogen. Fatigue, lack of strength, and
decreased libido have all been reported from soy protein
consumption. These effects seem to affect men and women
equally.

Consumers will never see the deep discount prices they have
enjoyed for the past 2 decades. With Egg protein being in
already short supply from the bird flu problems,
bodybuilders and athletes will have little choice but to
pay the price. Soy is a poor alternative to whey protein
and soy causes a rise in estrogen which no athlete wants.
Unfortuneately much like the price of gas, the high price
of protein is here to stay.
