With all the different protein powders on the market you might ask yourself, why would I want to use this one? Most companies today are using whey from cows that have been given the growth hormones rBGH and/or BST. These hormones are contributing factors to early puberty, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. In fact, dairy products from the U.S. are banned in Europe for this reason.

New Zealand Grass Fed Cows

Dairy cows in New Zealand are grass fed free grazing. You will never see feedlot conditions; the cows are NEVER subject to any chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms, hyper-immunizations or injected pathogens. Nor are they given bovine growth hormone (rBST or rBGH) or any other hormones, which are outlawed in New Zealand.
New Zealand is renowned as a clean and green country, with clean air, pasture and water; it’s the ideal environment for dairy products. New Zealand Whey Protein comes strictly from dairy herds that are predominantly Jerseys and Holstein-Fresians, which graze on healthy (pesticide-free, chemical-free) natural green grass pastures, even in winter. This all-year outdoors pasture farming results in dairy products that are acclaimed worldwide for their goodness, nutrition, energy and taste.
More importantly, New Zealand whey is extracted through a cold-membrane cross filtration process, this is more costly but it produces a complete undenatured whey protein. Undenatured whey protein contains numerous di-peptides (amino acid pairs) and tri-peptides (amino acid triples) the key amino acids in building muscle and repairing cells and tissue.

No Artificial Sweeteners

Many of the protein powders on the market use artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, Acesulfame potassium (also a aspartame product), and sucralose, which seems to be the new favorite. In some cases, you will see three of these used together. There is much data on the dangers of aspartame and aspartame has had the most complaints of any food additive available to the public. When sucralose came along, it was thought to be better and safer, but research has shown that it kills 50% of friendly bacteria in our intestines. Your intestines are a second immune system--the more friendly bacteria you have, the healthier you are. Sucralose accumulates little by little in your body and some of the side affects include skin rashes/flushing, panic-like agitation, dizziness and numbness, diarrhea, swelling, muscle aches, headaches, intestinal cramping, bladder issues, and stomach pain. ONLY PROTEIN uses a strictly natural sweetener so there are no side affects.

Cellulose Free Fiber

We also use a cellulose free fiber in our formula. What's the importance of a cellulose free fiber? In order for the body to break down cellulose you need to have the enzyme cellulase. Unfortunately, the body does not make this enzyme. Without this enzyme, a waxy build-up on the intestinal walls will occur and inhibit absorption. Along with this, we added another fiber called Glucomanna. There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is for the way it expands: 50 times its size, and, in doing so, helps you to feel full so you eat less. The second is, Glucomanna is great for improving digestion and helping with elimination. Because Glucomanna delays the emptying of stomach contents, this allows for a more gradual absorption of dietary sugar, thereby helping to reduce blood sugar levels.

We have also added inulin, a pre-biotic that is virtually a fertilizer to your friendly bacteria. If you have been using a product with sucralose, this will help rebuild your friendly bacteria.

Because maximum absorption is so important to us, we have added the enzymes protease to maximize protein metabolism, as well as lactase for those that have an issue processing lactose.

Importance of Protein

Protein is necessary to rebuild every cell, tissue, and organ in your body, and yet many people's diets are protein-deficient. Protein is the nutrient that plays the biggest role in keeping us healthy. We all know the importance of protein to build muscle--the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism--but it is also responsible for skin, hair, ligaments, bones and tendons, just to name a few. Protein is involved in many important processes, including metabolism and digestion. Without protein, you would lack the hormones and enzymes necessary for these important and vital functions. If you are sick or injured, protein is the nutrient that is required to help you heal.

Protein is important to start your day and get your metabolism going. Research shows that people that have a carbohydrate-rich breakfast tend to be hungry an hour later. Protein helps fight off hunger and keeps your energy balanced. Unfortunately in today's diet many of us do not get enough high quality protein. ONLY PROTEIN isolate begins with New Zealand hormone-free, pollution-free whey. Some of the highest standards in the world can be found in New Zealand. Their cows are grass fed and free grazing. You will never see feed lot conditions because New Zealand does not allow rBGH or BST hormones! Their cows are also free of antibiotics and chemical residue, which makes for a pure product, so pure that it is soon to be labeled "Certified Organic." ONLY PROTEIN has a unique blend of protein, fiber, and enzymes to help you achieve a healthy and fit body, along with proper diet and exercise.
