Natural Grass Fed High Quality Whey Protein Powder

Naturally Sourced and Minimally Processed 

100% Natural Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder

How much time do you spend at the grocery store looking at the ingredients panel on a product before buying it? You want to make smart food choices. For optimal health, it is critically important to understand the ingredients in your food. You want to spend time choosing those with the highest quality and most natural ingredients. As you learn more about your food, as well as the farmers and companies that produce these foods, a sense of trust is created between quality brands and their well-informed customers….You.This trust is vital — it’s what enables you to be sure you have filled your fridge and pantry with products of the best quality for yourself and your family. Understanding the source, manufacturing process, and quality is even more important when looking for dietary supplements. You take dietary supplements to help you optimize your health and for a dose of high-quality nutrients. Because of this, you want to be sure that any supplement you are using is of the highest quality — and that it will remain that way.

High-Quality Protein Powder – Why We Need It

With our busy modern lives, we have less time for cooking at home and preparing healthy meals. However, our bodies still need high quality nutrition. Vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients keep our body well-fueled and ready to tackle the day.

Vital Whey Protein

Protein is of primary importance for human health. We can live without the other macronutrients, carbohydrates and fat, but cannot survive without protein. It is what drives us throughout our daily lives. It provides the building blocks for our muscles as we exercise. It is vital to a healthy, thriving immune system. Protein increases satiety, helping us feel satisfied with the amount of food we eat. A lot of high protein foods require cooking and preparation, which is fine for when you have time but you need some faster options as well. Whether its high protein snacks like nitrate-free jerky or any variety of protein supplements (like a high quality protein powder), these protein foods are vital fuel for your busy life. However you choose to get your protein, you need to be able to trust that it has the highest quality ingredients. This is the Well Wisdom quality guarantee.

Why Use Whey Protein?

When looking for a high quality protein powder for you and your family, it is always a good idea to look for those that can meet multiple nutrient needs at the same time. Native whey protein powder, when purchased from a high quality source, can cover the needs for anyone in your household:

  • Role #1 Fuel for a fit lifestyle

    Whey is one of the best protein powders for an active lifestyle because of its complete amino acid profile and quick digestion. This makes a whey powder shake ideal for a pre- or post-workout boost to increase muscle strength and speed up recovery times.

    • Role #2 Helps maintain a healthy weight

    A high quality whey protein powder is one of the best weight loss supplements. It contains glycomacropeptides, which trigger a feeling of fullness, enabling you to avoid hunger pangs and keeping you satiated between meals. When designing protein shakes for weight loss, you can even include other supplements to make a full meal replacement shake (some examples HERE).* Eating enough protein can also slightly speed up metabolism, increasing your daily calorie burn. Whey even protects your muscle from catabolism (breakdown), a common side effect of weight loss, making it ideal for slimming down while maintaining a healthy metabolism.

    • Role #3: Essential for a Healthy Immune System

    Whey Protein Health Benefits

    High quality protein powder made from the milk of grass fed cows provides a full amino acid profile, as well as the fragile protein fractions used to make antibodies. The combination of the amino acids and protein fractions, all support a well-functioning immune system. The amino acids in whey also contains all of the building blocks for glutathione, one of the body’s most important antioxidants.

    • Role #4: Stimulates muscle growth

    Whey protein promotes anabolism (growth) of new muscle cells. This enables your body to repair muscle tissue damaged in your workout, enhancing post-workout recovery. It also allows your body to produce new or expand existing muscle tissue in order to accommodate the increased demand placed on your body via your workouts.

    • Role #5: Improves Overall Health

    Fueling your body with a high quality source of protein helps optimize your overall health. As mentioned, protein is the most important macronutrient for human life. Adding a high quality whey protein to your diet will provide all the essential amino acids your body needs to work at its highest level.

But how can you be sure you’re taking a protein powder that actually works, rather than an inefficient low-quality supplement? It’s all about taking the time to learn a little bit about how to determine the quality, and also understand the production process of the protein you are taking.

6 Factors to Determine High Quality Whey Protein

If you are looking for the best quality whey protein powder, it can be hard to evaluate all the options. With so many products on the market, you may have no idea what makes one supplement better or worse than the others.

Here are a few aspects to help your evaluation when looking for a high quality protein powder:

    • Grass-fed whey protein free of GMOs

With regular cow’s milk, there is always the risk that the cows will have been given nutritionally deficient GMO feed. Natural whey protein that is sourced exclusively from grass fed cows adheres to the cow’s natural diet, thereby producing the highest quality raw milk. Grass-fed cows produce whey that has a superior nutritional profile even to those who consume organic grain. There are more amino acids, health fats and immune-boosting nutrients in whey from grass-fed sources. If you are going to spend your money on a product, why not make it the most nutritionally dense option?

There is also a key difference between “grass-fed”  and “pasture fed” whey protein. A grass fed source of whey comes from cows that are fed exclusively on grass. On the other hand, to qualify as pasture fed the cows only need access to pasture for a portion of their day and can still have their feed contain grains and other fillers.

    • Hormone-Treatment-Free

Bovine growth hormones (rBST and rBSG) are given to cows as a means of stimulating metabolic function and increasing the growth of the cow–leading to an increase in meat and milk production. However, these hormones may have detrimental effects on human and bovine health, particularly in the progression of certain types of cancer.  In fact, these hormones have been banned since 2000 in Europe, Japan, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand.

To be safe, it is best to choose a protein supplement that is effective at building muscle and enhancing recovery WITHOUT unwanted side effects.

    • Minimally Processed and undenatured

The beneficial components of whey protein are easily degraded by too much processing. If too much heat, filtration or even acid exposure is used, it can break down or denature the fragile nutrients. 

Many of the immune supporting benefits of whey protein powder are lost from over-processing. The more the whey is processed, the more the nutrients (amino acids, glutathione, calcium, etc.) are degraded and depleted.

Because of this, Well Wisdom whey has only been pasteurized once (the minimum FDA requirement) and is free of any additional treatments like acid exposure, microfiltration, or ion exchange. These additional steps are used to produce whey faster or to artificially bump up the protein percentage, but all of them decrease the quality of the finished product.

While highly processed whey may have a nutrient profile similar to native whey protein in its original form, it is much less bioavailable–meaning your body has a harder time absorbing and using it.

    • Protein concentrate; not protein isolate

Thisdifference in protein supplements is important!

Whey protein concentrate is a dried powder ranging from 30-80% protein content, the naturally occurring protein rangefrom cow’s milk whey. Isolates,on the other hand, are more processed than concentrates to artificially increase their protein content to the 90% protein range. This process breaks down the quality of the protein, healthy fats, and fragile immune modulating nutrients.

For this reason, the nutritional profile and bioavailability of protein concentrate is far better than protein isolate.

    • No Unnecessary Added Ingredients

The best protein powderwill be able to stand on its own. It won’t need extra artificial sweeteners or flavors to do the job. Look for a natural protein powder that only includes a few other all-natural ingredients–better yet, NO other ingredients! This way you have the peace of mind knowing exactly what your product contains.

    • Individual Batch Tested for Heavy Metals

For all supplements–and protein supplements in particular–it’s vital to ensure they have been tested for heavy metals and meet the strictest of standards. These hazardous compounds can build up in your tissues and cause lasting damage down the road if consumed.* A surprising number of leading U.S. supplement brands contain too-high levels of heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury, beyond the USP’s recommended safety limits. Always read the label to ensure the products are free of toxic heavy metalsand won’t pose a health risk.

Each of these steps is vital to make sure that protein powder you choose is the best and highest quality for you and your family. It is often difficult, however, to find all of this information in one place and even harder to separate the marketing from the actual claims. For this reason, we would like to introduce you to our own grass-fed high quality whey protein, which was specifically designed with these 6 qualities in mind.

The Well Wisdom Story: Why We Know It Works

Well Wisdom was founded by Michael Keenan, who, after being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, was determined to find a healthy solution to combat his autoimmune disorder. After extensive research, he encountered a German physician familiar with the role glutathione and protein play in chronic illness.

Within weeks of taking glutathione derived from powdered raw milk protein, the improvements were visible–including improved sleep, reduced fatigue, and enhanced mental function. Since that day, Michael Keenan dedicated himself to producing high quality products to treat chronic illness and autoimmune disorders the natural way. All of the Well Wisdom glutathione-rich ImmunoPro and Vital Whey supplements are designed to boost immune function, provide a balance of bioavailable nutrients, and address health problems the natural way.
