Ancestral Protein Powder - Grass-Fed - Vanilla Chai - 689 grams

Ancestral Protein Powder is a protein isolate from bone broth of grass-fed cattle (21.8 g per scoop), supplemented with Celtic sea minerals and a 'regenerative superfood blend' of 570 mg of freeze-dried organs (liver, kidney, heart, pancreas, spleen), bone minerals (MCHA) and the mushrooms reishi, chaga, cordyceps and lion's mane. Whey is a milk protein (dairy), plant protein is usually pea or rice; bone broth protein is dairy-free, lactose-free and rich in collagen amino acids such as glycine and proline. Flavour: Vanilla Chai. Ancestral Supplements uses only organs from cattle (and, for the thymus, sheep) that graze outdoors all year round in New Zealand and Australia: grass-fed and grass-finished, with no added hormones, antibiotics, pesticides or GMOs.

One scoop (23.1 g) provides 20 g of protein, 90 kcal, around 1 g of fat, virtually no carbohydrates and no sugar (sweetened with monk fruit). A 689 g pack contains around 30 scoops. The protein is rich in collagen and therefore not as complete in essential amino acids as whey; as a supplement to a protein-rich diet with meat, fish or eggs, that is not a problem.

Mix 1 scoop (23.1 g) with 350 to 470 ml of water, milk or plant milk, or add it to a smoothie, yoghurt or porridge; it dissolves well in a shaker. Take it after exercise, as breakfast or as a protein-rich snack. You can also stir it into hot drinks, but do not boil it: heat does nothing to the minerals, but the organs and mushrooms then lose some of their value.

No: it is free from dairy, lactose, gluten, soy, egg, nuts and sugar. It contains beef (bone broth and organs) and mushrooms; not suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Contains natural flavourings (vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom) and monk fruit extract.

The 570 mg superfood blend turns the protein powder into a 'nose-to-tail' meal: the organs provide vitamin A, B12, haem iron and cofactors in small, mild amounts, and the four mushrooms (reishi, chaga, cordyceps, lion's mane) provide beta-glucans. The amount of liver per scoop is small (an estimated 100 to 150 mg), so no vitamin A burden; you can use it alongside Beef Liver.

Yes; it is food. For children, half a scoop is enough. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, in consultation with your midwife; the product contains no caffeine (except the Mocha flavour, with instant coffee) and no sweeteners other than monk fruit. Athletes use it after training; it contains no substances on the doping list.

Vanilla, Chocolate, Vanilla Chai and Mocha contain the same protein and the same superfood blend; only the flavourings differ (Chocolate with alkalised cocoa, Mocha with instant coffee and therefore a little caffeine). Collagen hydrolysate is pure collagen protein without organs, minerals or mushrooms and usually unsweetened; Ancestral Protein Powder is a complete shake.

Store the tub tightly closed, cool, dry and dark, with a dry scoop; the powder attracts moisture. Unopened, it keeps until the date on the label; once opened, use it up within 3 months.
