Discover the Health Benefits of Grass-Fed Whey Protein
Conventional whey protein is highly processed and denatured. It is made from milk that comes from cows with diets high in grain, pesticide-laden corn and byproducts. These cows are milked year round and are freely given antibiotics and hormones. Dairy cows fed a diet high in grain have higher incidence of metabolic disorder and studies show their digestive fluids contain more toxic, inflammatory compounds and several amino acid changes.
Undenatured whey is delicately processed to ensure that vital enzymes, vitamins, minerals and other immune factors remain intact. It is made from milk that comes from cows that graze on pesticide free pastures. We don’t use hormones or antibiotics. When compared to whey isolates, whey concentrate contains more biologically active components.

Scientific Support
Protein is a necessary component of healthy and lean body tissue. High quality whey protein provides growth factors that serve to repair damaged muscle fibers. Although the quantity of protein consumed is important it is much more important to consider the quality of protein. Whey protein provides 20 amino acids and 9 essential amino acids and has a biological value of 1047. The biological value provides a measurement of how efficiently the body utilizes protein consumed in the diet. A food with a high value correlates to a high supply of the essential amino acids.
Whey Protein contains components that the body needs to form enzymes, heal and repair muscle tissue, form immune complexes and carry out trillions of functions every minute.
Whey from grass-fed, pasture raised cows is shown to be higher in CLA, ALA and has cardioprotective properties. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for cognitive function, cardiovascular health and membrane function. Several studies have shown the positive effects of conjugated linoleic acid and alpha linolenic acid including their ability to reduce cardiovascular risk.
Low temperature processing preserves factors that support increased glutathione levels benefitting the immune system and providing detoxification support. Milk proteins are a key source of biologically active peptides with potential health benefitting effect.
Whey protein concentrate has the ability to act as an antihypertensive, antitumor, hypolipidemic, antiviral, antibacterial and chelating agent. Several reports have indicated that whey protein concentrate has potential antioxidant activity due to its ability to elevate cellular glutathione (GSH) levels.
Whey protein influences blood sugar regulation through bioactive peptides and amino acids. Whey protein has beneficial physiological effects on the control of food intake and glucose metabolism. Studies have shown insulinotropic and glucose-lowering properties of whey protein in healthy and Type 2 diabetes subjects. Whey protein seems to induce these effects via bioactive peptides and amino acids generated during its gastrointestinal digestion. These amino acids and peptides stimulate the release of several gut hormones such as cholecystokinin, peptide YY and the incretins, gastric inhibitory peptide and glucagon-like peptide 1 that are associated with regulation of food intake.
Concentrates of the peptides found in whey can be used in the treatment of diarrhea, hypertension, thrombosis, dental diseases, as well as mineral malabsorption, and immunodeficiency. Minor whey proteins such as lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, and immunoglobulins are considered antimicrobial proteins which can be preserved in undenatured whey that has been processed using low temperature filtration.
Lactoferrin (a peptide found in milk) is a potent inhibitor for several naked and enveloped viruses that replicate in the digestive tract. This includes rotavirus, enterovirus and adenovirus. Proline rich peptide (also found in milk) has been shown to promote T-cell activation and inhibition of autoimmune disorders, namely multiple sclerosis.
