Ancestral Protein Powder - Grass-Fed - Mocha - 787 gram

Ancestral Protein Powder is a protein isolate from bone broth of grass-fed cattle with Celtic sea minerals (together 21.9 g per scoop), supplemented with a 'regenerative superfood blend' of 675 mg with freeze-dried organs (liver, kidney, heart, pancreas, spleen), bone minerals (MCHA), caffeine from green coffee bean 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: Mocha.

One scoop (26.2 g) provides 20 g of protein, 100 kcal, around 1 g of fat, virtually no carbohydrates and no sugar (sweetened with monk fruit). A 787 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 (26.2 g) with 350 to 475 ml (12-16 oz) 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 is, however, manufactured in a facility that also handles milk, soy, egg, tree nuts, fish and wheat. It contains beef (bone broth and organs) and mushrooms; not suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Contains instant coffee and caffeine from green coffee bean (approx. 160 mg caffeine per scoop), alkalised cocoa, natural flavourings and monk fruit extract.

The 675 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, but note: this Mocha flavour contains approx. 160 mg caffeine per scoop (instant coffee and caffeine from green coffee bean); for children the other flavours without coffee are more suitable. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, in consultation with your midwife, and take the caffeine into account; the product contains no sweeteners other than monk fruit. Athletes use it after training; it contains no substances on the doping list.

All flavours contain the same protein (beef bone broth protein isolate with Celtic sea minerals). The superfood blend of organs and mushrooms does differ: in Vanilla, Chocolate and Vanilla Chai it is 570 mg per scoop, in Mocha 675 mg, because caffeine from green coffee bean is added (together with the instant coffee about 160 mg caffeine per scoop). The flavourings also differ, such as alkalised cocoa in Chocolate. 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.
