Why our whey
Our grass fed organic whey protein powders have been enjoyed by over 25,000 protein lovers to date! We believe this is because it's the highest quality whey protein in the UK, and here are a few reasons why:
Unbeatable taste
We only use only fresh organic whey, which goes through a cutting edge ceramic filtration system, with no chemicals or additives. The end result is a fresh creamy flavour, without the strange aftertaste that unflavoured whey proteins often suffer from.
Grass fed
The cows that produce the milk for our organic whey protein are fed grass every day of the year. During the winter months when the weather is too grim for them to be outside they are fed grass in the form of hay, silage or haylage.
It's organic
Organic means higher welfare standards. The cows graze outdoors for most of the year and when housed indoors during the winter they have plenty of room to move about, clean dry bedding, natural light and hay to feed on. You are also avoiding artificial pesticides, herbicides or genetically modified organisms, there is more wildlife, less pollution of waterways, healthier soil and happier bees. The list of benefits goes on and on…
Bioactive proteins
These are a key reason whey protein is so much more than “just” a quality protein, as many of these proteins & antibodies happen to also be found in human breast milk, and appear to have numerous health benefits. We've had our whey protein tested for the key bioactive proteins, the results of which you can read about here.
Transparency
We publish independent nutritional test results for every batch, explain how every ingredient is made and list the countries of origin for all the ingredients too.
Highest quality ingredients
In the case of our Pure Unflavoured organic whey protein, there is just one ingredient: our award winning grass fed organic whey protein. For our flavours we add a small number of quality organic whole foods to the whey protein for a fresh delicious taste, without resorting to artificial or “natural” flavourings. For a subtle sweetness we use a small amount of unrefined organic coconut sugar.
Gently filtered
Made using purely mechanical ceramic filtration at a cutting edge facility in Germany, preserving the natural properties of the whey and ensuring a smooth creamy taste, with no strange aftertaste.
Supporting Compassion in World Farming
We’ve donated over £30,000 to Compassion in World Farming to date and continue to donate 25p for every pack of organic whey protein made. They are helping to improve welfare standards around the world and many of their campaigns have directly resulted in wide-scale change, e.g. UK supermarkets stopping the sale of eggs from caged hens and playing a big part in helping end live animal exports.
Why whey protein
Whey protein is the most bioavailable protein source in existence. It is rapidly digested and readily absorbed by our muscles. Whey protein is also a “complete” protein, which means it contains all 9 of the essential amino acids, in other words those that your body can’t produce on its own. It contains all the Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) – which form the structure of new muscle tissue. What's more, it helps boost levels of glutathione, the "master antioxidant", in our bodies.
