Science and Educational Content.
Take Cerfified Grass Fed Whey
within an hour after workout
& throughout the day for an
additional boost of protein.
For Garden of Life to launch an animal
protein, the entire system had to be
different from other “so-called grass fed”
protein. We needed a holistic approach
to our protein that started at the farm
and traced every metric straight through
to the tub.
Whey is a milk protein prized for its amino
acid profile and is often used in the sports
arena. Until now, we were never able to
source a whey protein that could fulfill our
“clean” standards, including verification
by the Non-GMO Project and ultimately,
testing that could hold up for certification
by both NSF for Sport ® and Informed-Choice
for Sport.
GRASS FED CAN BE
MISLEADING
THE 4 TRUTHS THAT MAKE
TRULY GRASS FED ™ CERTIFIED
WHEY UNIQUE:
» » rBST, rBGH and antibiotic free,
un-denatured, cold-processed,
micro-filtered, Non-GMO Project
Verified and BSE free
» » Sustainable Irish family farms
with small herds producing half the
average global carbon footprint
» » Cows live in their natural outdoor
habitat, roaming and feeding in
green pastures
» » Ireland’s unique climate provides lush,
nutritious grass all year round
certifications, Certified Grass Fed Whey is
also certified NSF for Sport ® and Informed-
Choice for Sport certified. You can rest
assured there are no athletic banned
substances in this whey protein.
REFUEL & REPAIR
Certified Grass Fed Whey is designed
to refuel and repair muscles. Intensive
training and exercise breaks down muscle
tissue and then the body repairs and rebuilds
after exercise to make them stronger. One
serving delivers 24g complete protein from
whey protein isolate as the primary source
with some milk protein added to provide
some of the beneficial components found
only in whole milk, such as immunoglobulins
and beneficial growth factors.
Although many whey protein products may call
themselves “grass fed,” our research showed this
wasn’t truly the case. Almost all dairy farms still
used animal feed full of soy, corn and GMOs. Why?
Typically, there are too many cows to feed year-
round on grass. Our search ultimately ended in
Ireland with a coop of 4,800 generational family
farmers whose herds feed only in green pastures. Our whey delivers all the essential amino
acids, and provides 6g BCAA and 4g glutamine, important
to help reduce recovery time by stopping muscle
breakdown and promoting muscle repair and rebuilding.
Also, we never spike with synthetic amino acids, ours
are all naturally occurring. Lastly, we added 2 billion CFU
of the clinically studied probiotic B.lactis BL-04 which
has been shown to support immune health during
intensive workouts.
Our premium quality Certified Grass Fed Whey is
not only free of hormones and antibiotics, but we
are also very proud to have the ONLY Non-GMO
Project Verified Whey. Due to these third-party Available in delicious Vanilla and Chocolate, Certified
Grass Fed Whey can be used before your workout meal
if you want a fast-digesting, clean protein, and/or
within one hour post workout for maximum benefit.
