Sourcing & Safety
IN.POWER protein means incredible quality
Happy Cows Make Healthy Protein
Our cows graze year-round on fresh pasture of clover, rye, and other native grasses. They never eat soy or corn. This is why we have received both the Grass-fed Certification and the USDA organic certification. But, because we know that your health and that of your family is important we went a step further. Beyond just saying we are GMO free, we proved it by choosing the only Non-GMO Project Verified whey protein powder on the market.
A Sustainable Planet Is Important
We first lower our carbon footprint by choosing heritage breed Jersey cows, which have a 20% lower carbon footprint than the Holstein cow, the mostly widely used breed by dairy cow (1).
We continue this commitment to save our planets resources by sourcing 100% of our milk within a 90-mile radius, utilizing energy recovery systems at our whey plant, which cuts the energy required to dry the protein by nearly one-half, and annually updating the facility’s water recirculation and electrical systems.
Processed to Protect
While most whey is heat processed, which depletes, damages, and often destroys its micronutrients and amino acids, our organic liquid whey is cold processed, and ultra-filtered for only a short duration at low-temperature to preserve the nutrients in their natural state. (You should know that there is no such thing as raw whey in the U.S; don’t be fooled by others claims.)
Our high-quality processing is also free of acid and bleach. Most proteins skimp here and utilize acid/ion exchange processing which is cheaper, but denatures the amino acid profiles by using acids and chemicals to separate the whey from the fat. While it takes over 75 pounds of organic liquid whey to make just one 12 oz. bag of IN.POWER, the final product is pure taste perfection.
IN.POWER PROTECTS YOUR FAMILY FROM HEAVY METALS
We assure heavy metal safety by having IN.POWER protein third party tested for 9 metals including arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. Many recent studies testing protein powders have uncovered potentially dangerous levels, exceeding the limits proposed safe by United States Pharmacopeia (USP).(3,4) Heavy metal levels exceeded safe limits for both whey and non-whey plant proteins, and daily use can allow these metals to accumulate in the body over time, making it very important to choose a protein, like IN.POWER, that tests for these toxins.
