Terrific!
"Dissolves easily in smoothies and oatmeal. Like that it is « clean » and has no sweeteners or taste. Best protein powder I’ve found."
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.

"Dissolves easily in smoothies and oatmeal. Like that it is « clean » and has no sweeteners or taste. Best protein powder I’ve found."
"AGN is the best grass fed whey protein on the market having tried other brands. I feel a total well being and increased energy from this product"
"This product was recommended to me by a close friend. I use it in my smoothie every morning and it adds a smooth texture. Love it"
"I LOVE this product! It is the best protein powder I have ever had! I drink it daily and have for years. I recommend it highly."
"Love it! especially since its ethical! Will continue to support and purchase!"
"I’ve tried so many protein powders over the past 15+ years and honestly, they all kind of sucked in one way or another. Poor ingredients, crappy taste or texture. But this is just amazing. Only whey I’ll buy from now on. So far I’ve had it in iced coffee, yogurt and oatmeal and it’s fantastic. Well done!"
"Great stuff"
"I love this whey. I have researched a lot looking for protein additive that does not contain too much heavy metal. This one is certified. I love it."
"Recently switched from another brand. So happy I found AGN protein. Customer service is outstanding , fast delivery and clean , high quality protein. This protein has a hint of a creamy taste vs others having an odd taste for being unflavored. Love that they are transparent ! Will continue to purchase."
"Great product! Dispite the shipping issues, I will probably order again. I would love to see Irish Dairy use a different shipping company. There was an issue - I believe it was due to the weather and DHL. They (DHL and the USPS) did not communicate about the delay. Instead I got a notice from my credit card that there was a problem with my order- Not sure how that transpired but my whey powder did arrive and is great! I love that it has very little flavor. (I’ve tried other whey powders that had a funky taste. )"
