Is casein protein powder vegan?

Casein protein powder is not vegan. Casein is a type of protein derived from milk and is the primary protein found in dairy products. It is extracted from cow's milk using a process that separates the milk proteins from the fats and carbohydrates. Therefore, any product that contains casein, including casein protein powders, is derived from animal sources and not suitable for a vegan diet¹.

Vegans looking for protein powder alternatives should consider plant-based options. There are several high-quality vegan protein powders available that are made from sources such as peas, rice, hemp, or soy. These plant-based protein powders offer an excellent alternative for those who avoid animal products².
