Cultured Protein

Fermented whey is grass-fed whey protein cultured with lactic acid bacteria and a prebiotic fiber called GOS before it is dried. The cultures break long protein chains into smaller peptides and produce postbiotics along the way. You get a complete protein that is easier to digest, plus gut-health compounds regular whey does not have.

Chocolate is deep and rich, made with regenerative organic cocoa. Vanilla tastes like a milkshake, made with real organic vanilla bean. Both are sweetened only with monk fruit, with no natural or artificial flavors and no sugar alcohols. Unflavored has nothing added, so it disappears into coffee, oats, smoothies and baking.

The usual causes are lactose, sugar alcohols, gums and thickeners, and large protein particles that digest slowly. Cultured Protein leaves out sugar alcohols, gums and artificial sweeteners, and fermentation pre-digests the whey into smaller peptides. In our study, 60% of participants reported significantly reduced bloating.

It was built for people whose stomachs react to protein powder. Fermentation pre-digests the whey, the 5g of acacia fiber is one of the gentlest prebiotic fibers, and there are no gums, sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners.

Fermentation cultures feed on lactose, so fermented dairy usually carries less of it than the milk it came from. Cultured Protein is still a dairy product and is not labelled lactose-free. If you are sensitive, start with half a scoop and see how you feel. If you have a milk allergy, do not take it.

Probiotics are live bacteria. Prebiotics are the fiber that feeds them. Postbiotics are what that fermentation produces, the compounds your gut and immune system actually respond to. Most protein powders contain none, because the whey is never fermented. Ours is fermented with prebiotic GOS, so the postbiotics come built in.

Standard whey is neutral at best for the gut, and for many people it causes bloating. Fermented whey is different: it brings prebiotic GOS, postbiotics and pre-digested peptides, and Cultured Protein adds 5g of organic acacia fiber, one of the best-tolerated prebiotic fibers. Protein and gut support come in the same scoop.

Grit comes from large protein clumps that hydrate on the outside and stay dry in the middle. Fermentation breaks the protein into smaller peptides before it reaches you, so it dissolves fully in about ten seconds in a shaker, with water or milk, and stays smooth to the last sip.

20g of complete protein from fermented grass-fed whey and collagen peptides, 5g of fiber, MCTs from organic coconut, sunflower lecithin, and 0g of added sugar, at 130 calories. It covers what most people buy as separate products: protein, collagen, MCT, a prebiotic and a postbiotic.

Shake one scoop into 8–10 oz of water or milk for about ten seconds. Most people take it after training or as a morning shake, since the MCTs and fiber keep you full. It also stirs into coffee, yogurt and oats, and you can bake with it.

Organic sets limits on what goes onto a field. Regenerative farming goes further and rebuilds the soil: more organic matter, more carbon stored in the ground, more biodiversity. The cocoa in our Chocolate flavor is grown this way, and it is fair trade.

Yes. Cultured Protein is tested for heavy metals.

Yes. The bag and the scoop inside it contain no plastic and are compostable, including in a home compost. Please compost them rather than recycling them. We pay close to $3 a bag for this packaging, against about 10 cents for plastic.

Yes, any time from your account, with no phone call. Skip a delivery, change flavor, or change how often it arrives.
