Syntrax is just one brand. It's available online and in some health food and vitamin shops. There are dozens of brands though (flavored and unflavored) The brand isn't as important.
You can try any whey protein isolate, but the advantage of the undenatured whey protein isolate is the vastly superior flavor and texture and solubility. The flavor is sweeter and milder than other whey proreins, closer to fresh milk. And it dissolves quickly, easily and completely, even in water.
When milk or whey is heated, the protein unravel (or denature). That means they break down into the constituent amino acids. There's nothing wrong with this nutritionally, but the flavor is stronger and it's nearly impossible to get the denatured protein powders to dissolve completely in any liquid. As a result, the texture can be chalky or lumpy.
It's not too hard to find undenatured, unflavored whey as long as you know the most common names it can go by
Undenatured
Microfiltered
Cold-filtered
Cold-processed
The following terms might also be used, but these aren't quite as reliable (the whey might or might not be cold-filtered)
Quick-dissolving
Easy dissolving
Dissolves completely even in water
Some brands will advertise a unique or secret patented filtering or processing that makes their product taste better and dissolve better than other national brands. The process they're describing isn't really new, secret, or unique.
If you don't mind the flavor and texture of conventional unflavored (or flavored) whey protein, you can use them instead, but finding low carb options is sometimes tricky. Once you've tried cold-filtered whey protein though, you won't ever want to use anything else.
It dissolves so smoothly, with such a mild flavor, you can even stir it into milk, yogurt, soups, coffee, sugar free hot cocoa..... It's hardly noticeable in tomato soup, for example.
When adding it to hot liquids, you just have to let it cool abit (if the liquid is cool enough to eat without burning your mouth, it's cool enough to stir in theundenatured whey protein isolate.
