Yes it is produced from grass fed cows, it's also undenatured which is the best kind to use. This is a great product.

The label does not specifically say that it is from grass-fed cows. It does say that it is from cows that aren't treated with hormones like rbst and rbgh.

I am not sure if this is 100% grass fed. I believe it is. This brand has been highly recommended by all the bloggers and podcasters in the Primal/Paleo blogosphere. It is very delicious.

The container doesn't say grass fed or grass finished. It only says 100% gelatin from beef no pork.

Yes, it's one of the few products for Whey protein that is organic and that comes from Grass-Fed cows. I use to buy it from Whole Foods, but it is a bit less expensive here, and they deliver it fast and well-packaged.

Not that I am aware of. It's 100% natural made from seaweed. You can take a look at the manufacture's website here http://www.plaqueoff.com/for-animals/product/.

No! Those are lies by bloggers who are affiliates and want your cash commissions. There is nothing GMO-free or rBGH-free here, it's conventionally farmed. Do you seriously think if this product were grass-fed and free from GMOs that it wouldn't be plastered all over the label? THINK! It's from Argentina. Google, your friend, will show you pictures of factory farmed animals in cages along with articles that state US-style factory farming has now replaced grass-fed beef in their country due to high demands for their meat. Sneaky, huh!?

Hello. Thank you very much for your question and sorry for the delayed response. The capsule itself is made with gelatin, which is an animal byproduct. Please let us know if we can answer any other questions for you. Best Regards, Innovex Nutrition

I am not an expert on the Vegan stuff. I do things Holistically. I have had some serious problems with digestion, changed myself to the Paleo Diet, helped me tremendously. I had to get away from all grains, they are treated with chemicals to produce a higher yield and in turn they cause a lot of health issues for the consumers. I did some research on this, not a lot but learned enough to figure things out, that pertained to me. In answer to your question, the product looks as close to vegan as you can get, without producing the products yourself.

Of course.At least that is what it claims. Organic which means the grass also had to be organicly grown for the cows. That is organic. However, the real concern should be the method of process that had been used to create the protein because the market is fluded with organic protein and to distinguish which is the superior is the methods of process. So your main concern should completely depend on the merhod of process.

It is my understanding it is 100% whey protein from grass fed cows. Nothing else is added.

I didn't mean to just answer yes. I was on my phone when I clicked that. Gelatin is derived from the collagen of animals. That could be cow or pig. Or other animals. Unless it details where they got the gelatin from no one can correctly answer yes or no because we do not know the source of their gelatin.

In other words is this gelatin made of cattle or swine? Hi Orianna. It's probably made of 'both' as most gelatins are a combination of both cow and pig by-products (such as left over skin). I was gonna say that it's not such a big deal since it's really only a tiny amount but now that I've been asked to put it into words, yeah, not such a good thing. It's very easy to overlook such minute ingredients but overall it can (and often does) make a difference. It's apparent now that I must have been 'asleep' to have overlooked this factor. I will continue to purchase 'activated charcoal' but no longer from Nature's Way. We should always look for the 'Vegetarian Capsule' label before making a purchase. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! ;)

I contacted the company and it is NOT from grassfed cows. (And for at least some of us it DOES matter whether gelatin is from grassfed cattle, whether we view it as a personal health issue or an ethical one.)

Hello Dan, I am surprised myself that I never checked origin of material to produce this gelatin which printed on the package only "NOW FOODS" as Distributer. I looked their web site but I couldn't find very clear answer. Regarding of consciousness I sent mail to the company. They responded promptly. But i am still not sure Why they couldn't specified of "local maker"- whoever it is,they could make anything in same building their Factory without let us know of. "MADE IN USA"doesn't mean 100% safe that we should always keep in our mind too. You might have now more information than mine.if so,please share information to other consumers!

Yes according to their website, it is from cows that are grass-fed year round. Although it is not certified organic, the cows are not given hormones, and the grass is not treated with pesticides or chemicals. This whey is also GMO-free. The natural flavor has only whey concentrate, with NO added sweeteners or flavors. I only use the natural, so I cannot speak about the vanilla or chocolate flavors. I have used it for a few years now, and I find it to be the best on the market. I am always researching new products as they become available. I hope this helps.

Good luck on that question. The last thing you want is bovine sourced gelatin. Due to customer demand vegetarian gelatin is becoming more available. Wake up companies! NOBODY wants potential "mad cow" in their supplements

Good question. I assumed this companies small animal grass grass products were made in the US. I just emailed the company and asked them. Will let you know as soon as I get an answer.
