We hate to break it to you, but your protein powder probably sucks.
If you've ever:
-
Felt bloated after using it
-
Gotten clumps in your mouth because it didn’t mix properly
-
Had to force yourself to finish because the taste was disgusting
Then what on EARTH are you still doing buying that garbage???
To be honest, though, you’re not alone — most protein powders are ultra-processed, loaded with artificial sweeteners, and, oh yeah, might even contain heavy metals.
In 2018, the Clean Label Project tested 134 best-selling protein powders (1). What they found was straight up horrifying:
→ 53 of the top-selling products had elevated levels of lead, mercury, ARSENIC (!?!), and cadmium.
→ BPA contamination was rampant (the same stuff that got banned from baby bottles)
→ Some plant-based powders were TWICE as toxic as dairy-based ones.
There’s more. Most protein powders:
→ Are highly processed at high temperatures, damaging the protein itself (so much for “clean protein”)
→ Use artificial sweeteners and additives that wreck digestion
→ Contain A1 beta-casein, which can also wreck digestion
Protein powders aren’t regulated like food or medicine are. That means companies can get away with cutting corners and stuffing their formulas with trash. Why? They’re probably not third-party testing as part of their quality control process. And yet they have the gall to market to ATHLETES.
Listen, if you work out, your body needs clean, bioavailable protein—not a chemical cocktail pretending to be nutrition. But if you get your protein powder from some big company, there's a good chance it's one of the ones they tested. Yikes.
How to Choose a Protein Powder That Doesn’t Suck
If you’re done with the junk and ready for the good stuff, here’s what to look for:
✔ Third-Party Tested – No sketchy ingredients hiding in the mix
✔ Minimally Processed – So the protein actually does its job
✔ No Artificial Sweeteners – Ditch the sucralose, aspartame, and fake flavors
✔ Actually tastes good – Because life’s too short
✔ Regenerative Organic Sourcing – For the highest quality ingredients
ViCera’s A2 Protein – The Only One That Checks All the Boxes
We got sick of protein powders full of nonsense, so we made one that’s actually good for you:
✅ ALWAYS third-party tested for quality
✅ Minimally processed at low temps to keep the protein intact
✅ Sweetened only with monk fruit
✅ Made with Regenerative Organic A2 casein + whey protein – the kind your body actually wants
Most people who think they're lactose intolerant are actually just A1 beta-casein intolerant (no, seriously – we talk all about it here and cite our sources).
A2 is gentler on your gut, easier to digest, and doesn’t trigger the same issues as A1 beta-casein. We make real, nutrient-dense protein that actually works with your body, not against it.
In case you're curious, our formula also includes:
✅ Regenerative Organic Certified® grass-fed beef organs: All the benefits of beef organs, but with the taste of ice cream
✅ Amplified Probiotics: Helps you absorb all the nutrients from the food you eat throughout your entire day.
✅ Celtic® Sea Salt: Hand-harvested and unprocessed, this sea salt contains 82 minerals and trace elements that help your body hydrate at the cellular level.
At ViCera Nutrition, we’re about real, clean nutrition — NO junk, NO gimmicks, just ingredients that work the way nature intended. If you’re still using anything with corn syrup, toxic food dyes, or artificial flavors, it’s time to throw that back into last decade.
If you want protein that actually works, gives you sustained energy, and supports your body’s health, you need to try ViCera's A2 Protein.
