Protein Powder Always Upset Your Stomach? Try Switching To This Form

If you're someone who is diligent about meeting your daily protein needs, chances are you've heard of whey protein powder. Made from milk liquids, whey is a complete protein that contains all the critical amino acids your body needs to build and maintain muscle. This makes it a popular supplement for active people looking to work more protein (and its many whole-body health benefits) into their lives.*

There are two main kinds of whey protein: whey isolate and whey concentrate. They are both forms of complete, bioavailable protein, but they're made using a slightly different process. The concentrate form is made by stripping liquid whey of some fats and carbs. The finished product still retains fats and carbs, including lactose, and it's made up of around 70 to 80% protein1.

Whey isolate is, as the name suggests, a more isolated form of protein. It's further filtered to remove more fats and carbs, leading to a protein powder that is 90 to 95% protein and less than 1% lactose2.

Our new grass-fed whey protein isolate+ is lower in lactose (compared to whey concentrate) for sensitive stomachs and made without fillers, artificial flavors, or artificial sweeteners. It also contains no added hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides and comes from grass-fed cows raised in Ireland and the Netherlands.

This is a clean, pure protein powder that makes it easy to support lean muscle mass and hit your daily protein needs.* Each serving packs 25 grams of bioavailable whey protein and 2.5 grams of the amino acid leucine—the amount needed to activate the mTOR pathway3, which controls muscle protein synthesis, or the creation of new muscle.* Available in chocolate and vanilla, each variety tastes great too—flavored with organic vanilla or cocoa, pink Himalayan salt, organic monk fruit, and organic cinnamon.
