Vilgain Grass-Fed Whey Protein – made from the milk of grass‑fed cows, sweetened with stevia, ultrafiltered at low temperatures
The first great‑tasting 100% natural protein with no artificial sweeteners
Our premium whey concentrate is a powerhouse of beneficial‑protein, including BCAAs, essential for muscle growth and maintenance. Crafted from real ingredients, it's a smart choice for your fitness journey.
Made from the milk of cows freely grazing in Dutch meadows
The product is made from high‑quality cow milk, specifically using whey extracted from cows that graze freely in Dutch meadows for at least 10 months of the year. This results in a more favourable fatty acid composition, when compared to milk from cows that receive a compound feed.
The protein in the milk is preserved using ultrafiltration at low temperatures, which maintains the valuable protein fractions, including ß-Lactoglobulin and α-Lactoglobulin that help strengthen immunity, Immunoglobulin G that protects against bacterial and viral infections, and Lactoferrin that aids in iron absorption.
Maximum benefit for your body
Whey protein has a bioavailability similar to meat, which means it can be easily used by the human body. It is highly digestible and contains a high proportion of essential amino acids, including branched‑chain amino acids (BCAAs) and leucine. These amino acids are important for promoting muscle growth and recovery.

Natural colour and flavour
We use only natural ingredients like vanilla, cocoa, bananas, and strawberries and avoid artificial flavours and colours to maintain their authentic taste and colour in our protein.
Instead of sucralose, we use a natural sweetener made from stevia leaves
The stevia plant enables us to create a sweetener that is rich in steviol glycosides. This sweetener has no impact on blood sugar levels, is 200‑300 times sweeter than sugar, and is considered a safe and natural non‑caloric option.
Why do we not use sucralose?
Sucralose is an artificial sweetener that is made by combining chlorine and sucrose. It is currently the most commonly used artificial sweetener. However, recent studies have highlighted some potential negative effects of using sucralose. For instance, it may reduce insulin sensitivity, making tissues less receptive to it, even at doses typically consumed by dietary supplement users. Another potential side‑effect of consuming sucralose is that it can reduce the amount and diversity of gut bacteria in our microbiome, which plays a crucial role in our overall health.
