Our protein powders are additive-free.

The majority of protein powders are full of emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, and flavors. These additives, even in small quantities, can have a considerable impact on the health of your digestive system, leading to gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. Symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, and stomach pain are common. The reason behind these symptoms lies in the fact that additives look little to nothing like real food and are hard to digest, especially for individuals with gut issues.

common additives in protein powder:

acacia gum, acesulfame potassium, artificial flavors, aspartame, carob bean gum, carrageenan, cellulose gum, dextrin, dextrose, erythritol, gellan gum, guar gum, gum arabic, inulin, locust bean gum, “natural” flavors, maltodextrin, rice syrup solids, soy lecithin, silica, sucralose, sunflower lecithin, xanthan gum, xylitol

When partially digested food remains in the gastrointestinal tract, it can give rise to two possible outcomes. Firstly, the gut may absorb excess water, resulting in diarrhea. Alternatively, the additives may feed your gut bacteria, which produce has. Excessive gas can trigger bloating, flatulence, stomach pain, and even impede the movement of food through the colon, causing constipation.

Lots of people incorporate a protein shake into their daily routine, so it is important to consider how quickly small amounts of additives can add up. Regardless of whether you have gut issues or not, regularly eating food additives can disrupt regulatory pathways within the intestines. This can contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other systemic inflammatory disorders. Additionally, food additives, particularly artificial sweeteners, can disturb the delicate balance of the gut microbiome – a collection of microorganisms that plays a crucial role in digestion. To sum it up, food additives pose a threat to both your short-term and long-term gut health.

Our protein powders are dairy-free.

A considerable number of protein powders utilize whey and/or casein protein, which are derived from the making of cheese and yogurt. These dairy-based proteins have gained notoriety for their tendency to provoke digestive issues, especially among the one-third of adults who suffer from lactose intolerance. Those with lactose intolerance lack the necessary enzymes to fully digest lactose, the sugar in dairy. As mentioned earlier, the incomplete digestion of food can result in undesirable GI side effects.

Our protein powders are made with real foods.

---

The vast majority of protein powders consist of protein concentrates or isolates, which are stripped-down versions of real food. Instead of being listed as “peas” or “whey,” they are identified as “pea protein” or “whey protein.” These protein sources undergo extensive mechanical and chemical processing. In certain cases, chemical solvents like hexane are used to extract the protein from its source. Consequently, the protein found in your protein shake bears no resemblance to real food.

Your digestive system is naturally designed to handle minimally-processed or unprocessed natural foods, not synthetic imitations. Consuming anything other than real food can lead to undesirable side effects. While the long-term effects of consuming processed ingredients such as protein isolates are still being investigated, emerging research suggests that they can significantly disrupt the composition of your gut microbiota.

Apart from its role in food digestion, the gut microbiome serves as a protective barrier against harmful pathogens, plays a vital role in educating your immune system, and has direct and indirect effects on various physiological processes. Imbalances in the delicate equilibrium of the gut microbiome have been linked to the development of numerous chronic diseases. Considering this connection, it is advisable to avoid protein powders made with protein concentrates and isolates.

In our protein powders, we use egg whites and almonds instead of protein concentrates and isolates. Egg whites undergo a simple process of pasteurization and drying, while almonds are roasted, pressed to remove some oil, and finely ground. Both egg whites and almonds serve as easily digestible and gut-friendly alternatives to protein concentrates and isolates.

Real food protein sources, like egg whites and almonds, naturally contain a variety of enzymes and digestive aids that promote digestion. In contrast, protein isolates and concentrates have been stripped of these digestive aids, making them challenging for the body to digest and absorb. As a result, our customers consistently report experiencing fewer gastrointestinal side effects when using our protein powders compared to other alternatives.

Have you ever bought a big container of protein powder only to realize that it upsets your stomach, or that you do not like how it tastes? At this point, you either have to throw it out, or choke it down, neither of which is any fun. (If only you could have tried it first…) This is why we offer samples of protein powder. We know that our protein powders are delicious and easy to digest, but we want you to see for yourself. If you like them, now you have a better idea of which flavor you like best. If you do not like them, no sweat; at least you did not spend fifty dollars on something that you have to pour down the drain.

1 protein powder sample pack contains 1 serving. Because we do not use food additives to help our powders mix, we recommend mixing the contents of each protein powder sample pack with 1-2 cups cold milk or water in a blender. If shakes are not your thing, you can also add your samples to oatmeal, yogurt, or even baked goods. Check out some of our high protein recipes. 

Our protein powder samples are made in Plymouth, Massachusetts in a FDA-Registered, GMP-Certified facility. Although we source ingredients from around the world, our primary ingredients (egg whites, almonds, oats, etc.) come from US farms.
