Phillipa, I think any protein powder (incl. Whey) has a high amount of the amino acid l-glutamine (or glutamic acid?) I'd be very careful with this stuff, as it has thrown me into a deep, anxiety-ridden depression everytime I take it. The glutamine erases the effects of calming aminos like Trytophan.(the precurser to serotonin). Also, glutamine is highly stimulating in the brain, and when someone has a stroke, massive amounts of this are released in the brain, which causes the brain damage.
