|
WHY IS ANTLER FARMS® NEW ZEALAND WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE BETTER THAN THE REST? ✅ 100% Grass Fed - Antler Farms® New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate comes from naturally robust and healthy grass fed cows. Most commercial whey protein products are derived from milk of grain fed, factory farmed cows. There are no health benefits to a cow when it is fed grain or corn. ✅ Made in New Zealand - Our whey protein isolate is made from high grade dairy by cows raised in the beautiful Canterbury Plains of New Zealand, where they feed on green pasture year round. Our cows live outdoors, where they should be. They are never confined to crowded, dirty feed lots. ✅ High Protein Content - Each serving has 26g of high quality whey protein isolate with high bioavailability and rapid absorption. Our advanced cold processing technology preserves the biological nature of protein (undenatured), increases the protein concentration, and removes lactose and fat. ✅ Natural Ingredients - Our great tasting whey protein isolate uses only the best source of 100% grass fed whey protein isolate and other all natural ingredients. It is available in vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, mixed berry and unflavored. There are absolutely no fillers, artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. ✅ Pure, Clean Protein - Antler Farms® New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate a pure, ultra clean protein powder. There are no growth hormones, antibiotics, chemical residues or GMOs. It is gluten free and soy free, and screened for biological impurities such as E.coli, yeast, mold and salmonella. |

PROTEIN POWDER'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
In the United States, factory farming accounts for 99% of all farmed animals and 80% of cows. Factory farmed cows are confined to feed lots (called Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, or CAFOs) where they are fed corn and meat byproducts. Corn and meat are very different from grass, and getting nutrients from them requires a different digestive system than what cows have. There are no health benefits to a cow when it is fed grain or corn. In fact, the body composition of a healthy cow becomes unhealthy when its diet is switched from grass to grain. Studies show that cows fed high-grain diets have a higher incidence of metabolic disorders than grass fed cows. This is caused by the build-up of toxic, inflammatory and unnatural compounds in the cow’s rumen. Furthermore, factory farmed cows are pumped full of growth hormones and antibiotics. Most cows in the USA are injected with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), also known as recombinant bovine somatropin (rBST). rBGH is a genetically engineered hormone developed by Monsanto to stimulate growth and milk production. Antibiotics are needed to keep factory farmed cows from getting sick in a CAFO's crowded, filthy living conditions. Fortunately, as consumers become more aware of factory farming practices, more and more people are avoiding food from factory farms in order to protect their health. Factory farming is the result of a corporation's desire to lower costs and increase profits - not to make better products. The technology does not represent progression, but rather regression, in the farming industry. Additionally, most commercially available protein powders on the market today are full of artificial ingredients. Nearly every product contains an artificial sweetener like Sucralose or Aspartame. Xantham gum, a polymer secreted by micro-organisms, is a common ingredient that is used as a thickening agent. And soy lecithin, a food additive made from genetically modified soy, is used as a standard emulsifier. Whey protein powders may also be contaminated with synthetic additives, chemical detergents, and heavy metals. Studies suggest that every single one of the above ingredients may cause serious health risks. So why do people willingly consume them? And why are these harmful ingredients in products in the first place? While it might be reasonable to assume that these additives are necessary to make protein powder, we assure you they are not. |
Why is New Zealand Grass Fed Protein Better?
It starts with the cows.
Antler Farms® New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate begins with high grade dairy from grass fed cows. Our cows are raised in the beautiful Canterbury Plains of New Zealand. They roam outdoors, exposed to fresh air and sunlight, and feed on green pasture year round. These ideal living conditions for cows are the cornerstone for raising cows that are naturally robust and healthy.
Antler Farms® New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate is a premium quality whey protein derived from the milk of naturally healthy, grass fed New Zealand cows.
Cows are ruminants, a type of animal with multiple stomachs. Their digestive system is specifically designed to absorb nutrients from fresh grass. When a cow eats an appropriate diet of green grass, they maintain an ideal body composition and stay in optimal health.
It is well known that beef and dairy products sourced from grass fed cows are significantly higher in nutritional value than grain fed cows. Our grass fed whey protein, derived from grass fed cow’s milk, is loaded with protein, amino acids, immune factors, peptides, antioxidants and minerals.
New Zealand is the most advanced dairy producer in the world, operating under strict guidelines for the husbandry and general care of its livestock.
The use of rBGH is completely banned in New Zealand. In fact, all dairy products from New Zealand are legally required to be free of hormones. No antibiotics, hyper-immunizations, or any other types of chemicals are used to raise our cows.

How is Antler Farms® New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate Processed?
Antler Farms® New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate has high protein content with high bioavailability. Our protein is cold processed to preserve the biological nature of protein.
Our whey protein isolate is cold processed using a technologically advanced ion exchange and ultra-filtration technique. Unlike traditional methods of ion exchange, our state of the art processing does not use heat, chemicals or acid.
Whey protein is a complex protein made up of many smaller protein subfractions such as alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins (IgGs), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and proteose peptone 5. There are also minor peptides such as lactoperoxidases, lysozyme and lactoferrin. Each of the sub fractions found in whey protein has its own unique biological properties.
Our process isolates and purifies protein subfractions and peptides while preserving the biological nature of the protein. It increases the protein concentration to 93% and removes almost all lactose and fat.
Most commercial whey protein powders are heat-treated, bleached, acid-flushed, and thus, become stripped of its biological activity.
Processing whey protein without losing its biological activity takes special care and knowledge. Methods that use heat or acid can cause denaturation – a process in which protein loses its molecular structure. Denaturation destroys the protein’s biological nature, degrades the protein quality, and reduces the protein content. Antler Farms® New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate retains its protein's biological nature (undenatured protein).
Additionally, Antler Farms® New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate is screened for biological impurities such as E.coli, yeast, mold and salmonella, and tested for allergens such as gluten and soy.
