Protein is having a moment and rightfully so. Getting enough protein is key to building and maintaining muscle so you feel strong and look toned. While plant protein has gained popularity in recent years, it’s not as clean as people think:

1. An Incomplete Source of Protein

One of the main concerns with plant protein is that it is often an incomplete source of protein. Unlike animal-based proteins, plant proteins lack one or more essential amino acids, which are crucial for muscle growth and repair. While plant protein powders can be a source of protein, you typically need to consume a higher dose to reap the same benefits. That means you'll need to eat more calories to reach your protein needs, which can lead to weight gain. In contrast, just 2 scoops of grass-fed whey protein isolate+ has 25 grams of complete protein and only 120 calories.

2. More Calories Needed to Trigger Muscle Growth

Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a vital role in muscle protein synthesis, the process for producing muscle mass. Promoting muscle protein synthesis is the key to body recomposition and achieving the lean look most people strive for with exercise. To stimulate and maintain muscle growth, we need to consume at least 2.5 grams of leucine. Unfortunately, this is where plant proteins often fall short. Compared to whey protein, plant protein sources typically contain lower levels of, if any, leucine, meaning that individuals need to consume a larger quantity of plant protein to reach the required leucine threshold. 2 scoops of grass-fed whey protein isolate+ has 2.91 grams of leucine.*

3. Often Filled with Additives and Flavored with Artificial Sweeteners

Another drawback of plant protein is that they’re potentially full of additives and artificial sweeteners. Many plant protein powders contain added ingredients to enhance taste, texture, and shelf life. While these additives may make the product more palatable, they can also introduce unnecessary chemicals and artificial substances into our diets. On the other hand,  grass-fed whey protein isolate+ is free from added hormones (including rBST), antibiotics, pesticides, solvents, artificial sweeteners, and other bad stuff. To top that off, our delicious chocolate flavor has ZERO grams of sugar.

A Better Alternative

grass-fed whey protein isolate+ is a premium protein supplement that offers a clean  alternative to plant protein. Made from the milk of grass-fed cows, this whey protein isolate contains 25 grams of high-quality protein per serving. It is a great source of essential amino acids, including leucine, which is crucial for muscle growth and recovery. With its minimal processing and absence of artificial sweeteners, grass-fed whey protein isolate+ provides a clean and delicious protein option for individuals looking to build and maintain lean muscle mass.*
