Products
Alpha Nutrition is specialized in the development, production and supply of excipients such as Direct Compressible Pharmaceutical Lactose. Our wide range of excipients, products and services are being used by clients active in the pharmaceutical and nutritional industry. In addition to our Direct Compressible Pharmaceutical Lactose, we also have an extensive range of products with high protein content (check out our Brands page to see our ALPHA-HighPro range).
We offer a complete range of nutritious powders & pharmaceutical lactose:
Direct Compressible Lactose (AlphaTab-DC 250) is a Refined Pharmaceutical Lactose that is in conformity with the monograph "lactose monohydrate" of the European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur.). This monograph is harmonized between Ph.Eur, USP-NF and JP.
Lactose is a commonly used filler in solid dosage formulas and is well known for its high mechanical strength. By agglomerating the lactose, a unique value is added to make this excipient perfect for producing tablets (the easiest and most cost-effective way). Our AlphaTab-DC 250 can be used as a filler or diluent in pharmaceutical tablets & capsules and to a more limited extent in lyophilized products, infant formulas and as a diluent in dry-powder inhalations.
Benefits of direct compressible lactose:

HS code: 1702.11
Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) is a concentrate of fresh dairy whey, generally produced by ultra-filtration and spray drying. Whey Protein Concentrates are obtained by
the removal of non-protein elements of the whey, in order to obtain a powder which contains between 30% and 80% of proteins in dry matter.
WPC 30 - 35%
This product can be used as a stabilizer and fat imitator in for example yoghurt, ice cream, bakery, diet foods, ready-meals, chocolate & confectionery, infant foods, soups, meat and pastries. It can be used as a substitute for skimmed milk powder.
WPC 80%
WPC 80 is mainly used in sports nutrition, protein drinks and health/dietary products and is known for its high nutritional value. Our WPC 80% is available in INSTANT and Regular type. Besides the standard FOOD grade, we can also offer you this product in ORGANIC grade. Whey Proteins contain all essential amino acids, that is why it is called a “complete protein”. Essential amino acids affect muscle strength, transport nutrients and help the muscles recover after exercise.
Main composition:
The product has a long shelf life of approx. 18 months from date of manufacture (depending on its packaging) and it should be stored in a cool, dark and dry place (preferably below 20˚C). Do not expose the product to direct sunlight or to strong odours.
Packaging
Our WPC is available in 25 kg, 20 kg and 15 kg multi-ply paper bags with poly inner liner and in Big Bags of approx. 1000 kg net weight each.
HS code: 0404.10 (30 – 75% of proteins) or 3502.20 (> 80% of proteins)
Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is obtained by concentration and purification of whey protein concentrate. They are derived from whey. WPI contains approx. 90% of proteins and has a very low lactose content (< 1%). Our WPI is available in instant and regular type.
WPI can be used in many applications, like: sports drinks, protein bars, enriched beverages, dietary products, baby food, dry nutritional mixes, reconstituted dairy products, whipped toppings.
Whey Protein Isolates are easily digestable and help the body recover after exercise (especially for the formation of muscles). They also contribute to the proper growth and optimal development of young children, due to their high amino acids content. WPI’s are used in foods for their unique functionality; high solubility, neutral taste, to provide texture & structure, or to give a different flavour or colour to a product. Especially when a lower lactose concentration and/or a higher protein concentration is needed.
Main composition:
The product has a long shelf life of approx. 18 – 24 months from date of manufacture (depending on its packaging) and it should be stored in a cool, dark and dry place (preferably below 20˚C). Do not expose the product to direct sunlight or to strong odours.
Packaging
Our WPI is available in 20 kg and 15 kg multi-ply paper bags with poly inner liner.
HS code: 3502.20
Whey Protein Hydrolysate (WPH)is obtained from whey protein concentrate or isolate in the process of hydrolysis (in which some of the amino bonds have been broken by exposure of the proteins to heat, acids or enzymes). Because of the pre-digested state of WPH, the protein is absorbed into the body rapidly, delivering a fast and effective nutritional boost.
Applications
Clinical, sports and infant nutrition products.
Main composition:
Due to the fact that WPH-based supplements are produced using an advanced and costly technology, they are usually a bit more expensive than those based on WPC or WPI. They are most popular among professional athletes. Owing to their short absorption time, they will perfectly work after intense an physical exercise, when it is necessary to supply the muscle cells with the necessary nutrients as quickly as possible.
Whey Protein Hydrolysates may improve nutritional status and gut and liver functions in specific patient groups and can help prevent loss of body mass during hospitalisation. WPH’s may also improve blood glucose control in people with metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes.
The product has a long shelf life of approx. 24 months from date of manufacture and it should be stored in a cool, dark and dry place (preferably below 20˚C). Do not expose the product to direct sunlight or to strong odours.
Packaging
Our WPH is available in 15/20 kg multi-ply paper bags with poly inner liner.
HS code: 3504.00
