protein

We’ve talked about this before, but all protein powders are not created equal!!  We are often asked what’s the difference between Isagenix protein and “you name it” protein.  Well for starters, did you know that there are 7 different grades of whey protein on the market?  Do you know what grade your whey protein is?

Grades 1 and 2: are equivalent to dog/cat food and are considered livestock feed.  These grades are the worst of the worst.  Mostly biowaste animal parts, no regulation, filled with non protein fillers, nothing life enhancing about these grades and sourced from GMO fed cows.

Grades 3-5: are what people buy 90% of the time in the mainstream stores and online supplement websites.  These can best be understood as coming from conventional hormone pumped, GMO corn fed, antibiotic injected, forcefully milked out of season cows.  This type of protein many times has heavy metal toxicity, as well.

Grades 6: a better step in the right direction. Most protein in this class would come from organic cows. (Not necessarily free range or seasonally milked.)

Grade 7: This protein is the “king of clean”.  Grass fed, free range, seasonally milked, no hormone or antibiotic injections, free of heavy metals, no fillers, better than organic, 97% bioavailability, healing, and life enhancing. ?

We put premium fuel in our vehicles so why not put premium protein in our bodies?  So I’ll ask you again, do you know what grade your protein is??
