Sourcing Quality Grass-Fed Whey
Our grass-fed whey is sourced from Friesian Jersey crosses thriving in the lush coastal grasslands of southeast Ireland. AGN Roots Grassfed Whey is unique—being the only grass-fed whey obtaining its supply exclusively from farms certified by A Greener World. This organization provides an "entire life on pasture-based" animal welfare certification that cannot be bought.
Commitment to Animal Welfare
At AGN Roots, the well-being of animals is paramount. We proudly hold the Animal Welfare Approved certification by A Greener World, recognized by the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) as the only grass-fed whey brand on their Certified Brand List. Ruminant animals flourish when fed diets that suit their natural requirements. Happy and healthy cows produce high-quality, nutrient-packed milk, which is essential to the exceptional value of our grass-fed whey isolate. Compared to conventional feedlot sources, our product delivers higher levels of BCAAs, whey protein macronutrients, and cysteine—up to three times more.
Environmental Impact
Ireland, known for its low carbon emissions, is predominantly covered in grasslands, with over 80% of the country maintaining sustainable pastures. Our farms adhere to chemical-free practices, consistently yielding milk with very low levels of heavy metals—far below California's Prop 65 standards. Additionally, we package our whey in thermally stable pouches that shield it from heat and UV rays, boasting an impressive product-to-packaging ratio of 35:1, compared to 10:1 for traditional PET plastic containers. This ensures reduced emissions during transportation.
Safety Standards and Accreditations
For California residents, the threshold for lead exposure is remarkably low at 0.5 mcg per day, which is 1,000 times less than levels not known to cause reproductive harm. Our lab testing indicates lead concentrations of less than 0.005 mg/kg. Our grass-fed whey is up to 100 times lower in heavy metals like mercury, arsenic, lead, and cadmium, setting us apart from standard suppliers. Every batch of our product undergoes thorough certification with Informed-Sport, recognized by professional sports organizations, ensuring that ethical sourcing meets high nutritional standards.
Transparency in Labeling
AGN Roots is also certified with Informed Protein, addressing misleading product claims prevalent in the industry. This certification guarantees that every batch is tested for heavy metals, agricultural chemicals, protein composition, and maintains label accuracy. Our commitment to transparency means that AGN Roots Grass-Fed Whey contains exactly what is declared—nothing more, nothing less.
Verification and Nutrition
While many brands claim to be "grass-fed," over 99% mislead consumers due to the lack of regulations. Our sourcing details and certifications ensure authenticity. In Ireland, a globally recognized grass-fed dairy standard established by Bord Bia verifies the percentage of grass in dairy herds' diets, enabling genuine claims about grass-fed whey. Our product offers 25 grams of protein and 6.5 grams of BCAAs per serving, outperforming competition in both quality and taste.
Embracing Nature's Gifts
Ireland's climate, characterized by abundant rainfall and fresh coastal air, allows us to grow grass naturally without mechanical irrigation. The combination of nutrient-rich limestone soils and ideal temperatures creates an optimal environment for our cows to graze year-round.
Our Mission
At AGN Roots, we focus on producing top-quality grass-fed whey. We are passionate about sustainability and animal welfare and are proud to be the first Animal Welfare Approved certified grass-fed whey by A Greener World. Choose AGN Roots to support ethical farming and enjoy the benefits of superior nutrition with every serving.
Cherish your health and the environment with our premium-quality whey—because when you choose AGN Roots, you choose integrity.
