Best Unflavored Whey Isolate
"This is the best unflavored whey isolate I have tried. Easily digestible, mixes without clumps, no aftertaste. An excellent grass fed protein supplement."
AGN Roots Grass Fed Whey is the product of our commitment to using the best dairy sourcing and preservation-based processing methods. Our focus remains on cultivating nutrient-rich milk and ensuring these nutrients remain viable through the processing life cycle.
AGN Roots naturally contains the highest concentration of naturally occurring nitrogen-based macronutrients and branched-chain amino acids endemic to truly grass-fed dairy operations. Our certification with Informed-Protein assures customers that we steer clear of the ever-growing "Amino Spiking" phenomena dietary supplement brands undertake to bolster and mask low-quality milk nutrition attributes.
Our whey protein isolate holds the ONLY "Entire Life on Pasture" Certified grass-fed whey food label from the global leader of independent farm verification and food label accreditation, the nonprofit A Green World.
Sourced from small herds maintained on family farms in the southeastern coastal grassland of Ireland, AGN Roots is dairy nutrition at its finest, not to get conflated with the loosely regulated "organic" whey from CAFOs or the plastic tubs with very sleek marketing gimmicks.
AGN Roots is the #1 and very first brand to be recognized by the ASPCA's Shop With Your Heart Certified Brand List. From 2020 to date, there are only two grass fed whey brands that have made this list. Keep in mind, there is no cost with this list, just objective quality evidence and verifications needed.
It makes you wonder why these other very marketable brands are not on this list despite all the "grass-fed" buzzwords under the cow pie spanning their labels. (farm fed, pasture fed, our favorite "grass-fed finished", etc.)
We prioritize the welfare of the cows we source from, partnering only with milk producers that uphold the highest standards of animal care. By choosing our certified grass fed whey, you are supporting humane farming practices and making a positive impact. It's genuinely a purchase you can feel good about!"
Regarding whey protein powder, "Preservation Based Processing" refers to the selection criteria used to determine the various whey processing methods that prioritize nutritional quality preservation above extended shelf-life or improve stability.
The critical stages in PBP include -
The methods and techniques selected make possible the high-density micro-nutrients (vitamins & minerals), branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and nitrogenous macro-nutrients endemic to 100% farm fed cows in every serving of AGN Roots Grass Fed Whey Isolate.
Source of Origin: Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO)
Pasteurization: Ultra High Temp Short Time (Flash Pasteurized)
Native Whey Processed: (Filtered direct from milk leaving the macro-nutrients behind with the casein)
Ion Exchange filtered: High Protein content but damaged due to acids used to adjust pH.
Spray Dried (< 2% moisture): Overcooked for extended shelf life and that dusty chalk look.
Sold in Rigid Tub: Typically half-full of desert powder optimized for increased carbon and not air-tight.

"This is the best unflavored whey isolate I have tried. Easily digestible, mixes without clumps, no aftertaste. An excellent grass fed protein supplement."
"I’ve drank A LOT of protein shakes over the years. I thought the brands I used were “clean” and were telling the truth on the packaging, but after looking into it, discovered most are not and there is no telling what I’ve actually been putting in my body. Doing that research led me to AGN Roots. I’ve never had non-flavored protein and was unsure about the idea, but wow…this is the best tasting protein ever. It doesn’t need anything else. I’m already feeling a difference in my workouts, as this protein does not weigh me down or make me feel bloated, plus there is zero aftertaste. Other brands claim to be clean, but I can taste and feel the difference with AGN. I wish I had found them much, much sooner. Fantastic product."
"AGN unflavored whey mixes well, isn’t overpowering to taste and is light on the stomach. Exactly what I was looking for"
"Wow this is so incredible - I've tried SO many protein powders and this tastes so clean, tasty, and so natural. I love LOVE this."
"I like knowing this whey is from grass-fed cows, and if they're Irish cows, then the milk (and whey) they give must be extra nutritious. I've never met such happy, well taken care of cows as I have in Ireland. This whey blends easily with yogurt and doesn't cake up while in storage. The delivery time from ordering to receiving is very quick, and the price feels reasonable, especially for the 3-pound bag."
"I can't say enough good things about this whey. It's clean, environmentally friendly, and it tastes great. After searching a long time. I believe I've finally found the best whey protein isolate on the planet."
"Rad, already burned through our 3lbs in a month. Big fam. Quality stuff, clean, step up is the actual cow on my property, ain't no body got time for Betsy, this is the next best thing! It mixes clean, rich and prob wouldn't hurt to be rich $$$."
"This is definitely the best grassfed whey powder I have tried. I use it to make smoothies to ensure I get enough protein, but it also provides calcium. It's delicious!"
"I have tried many different brands of grass fed whey and IGN is my favorite! Texture is perfect and mixes so well. Does not need a shaker ball. I just wish the brand would come out with a chocolate or vanilla flavor."
"Blends nicely, mixes with everything, no after taste. Most of all, nothing bad added no filler, only wish there was a non lecithin option. Other than that I’m a convert."
