If you’ve ever felt bloated, crampy, or just plain off after eating dairy, you’re not alone. Many people think this means they’re lactose intolerant, but there might be another reason dairy doesn’t sit well with them: A1 beta-casein.
We’ve talked before about the difference between A1 and A2 protein. Here’s the short version: A2 protein comes from older breeds of cows who don’t produce A1 beta-casein, and many people who struggle with dairy report feeling much better when they switch to A2.
But the benefits of A2 protein go beyond “it doesn’t hurt my stomach.” Here's what it actually does inside your body, especially when it’s paired with the right ingredients.
Why Your Gut Loves A2 Protein
1. Easier on Digestion (Even for the Dairy-Sensitive)
One of the reasons A2 dairy feels so different is that it doesn’t cause your body to produce BCM-7, which is a potentially harmful byproduct from breaking down A1 beta-casein. If you want a deeper dive on this, check out this blog post.
2. Whey + Casein
Our A2/A2 dairy protein provides both whey and casein, in a ratio that mirrors a mother’s breast milk. This combination plays an important role in gut health and muscle recovery.
-
Whey protein digests quickly, delivering amino acids to your bloodstream fast. This is great for energy and post-workout recovery.
-
Casein protein digests slowly, releasing amino acids over time. This helps keep you full, supports stable blood sugar, and provides long-lasting nourishment for your muscles and gut lining.
By combining fast- and slow-digesting proteins, you get both immediate and sustained support. This helps with performance during your workout, and muscle recovery & maintenance in the in-between time.
3. Amplified Probiotics: Built-In Gut Support
We’ve taken our protein one step further by adding Amplified Probiotics (Bacillus subtilis AB22). These tough, spore-based probiotics don’t just survive digestion, they help it thrive.
Here’s what they do:
-
Help your gut break down protein, fats, and fiber more effectively†
-
Create enzymes that improve nutrient absorption†
-
Support a healthy microbiome, which influences everything from digestion to immune health to mood†
When your gut has the right bacteria, it helps you get more from every bite. That means better digestion, better performance, and fewer stomach issues.
4. Regenerative Organic Certified® Organs: Nutrients Where You Need Them
We also include grass-fed beef organs like heart, liver, and kidney in our blend. These are rich in naturally occurring nutrients that support both gut health and total body function, including:
-
Vitamin A, which supports gut lining integrity and immune function†
-
B vitamins, essential for energy and digestive enzyme production†
-
Zinc and iron, which help repair gut tissue and carry oxygen to cells†
And because these nutrients come from animal-based, whole food sources instead of plants or synthetic isolates, they’re more bioavailable. That means your body can recognize and absorb them more easily, which supports gut healing and nutrient utilization even more effectively.
These organs are often called "nature’s multivitamin" for a reason. They offer whole-food nutrition that works synergistically with the rest of the protein to support gut, muscle, and cellular health.
If you’ve ever felt like protein shakes mess with your digestion, this might be the product that changes your mind. More comfort, better absorption, and fuel that actually feels good.
Because when your gut works better, everything else follows.
