    From the French Alps

    The source matters

    Our whey begins with milk from free-roaming cows grazing the pastures of the French Alps. It is cold-filtered to protect the protein, and nothing else is added.

    My patients love Essential Whey Protein — it helps make skin glow, replenishes amino acids and increases glutathione levels, making it an excellent anti-aging therapy.

    Essential gourmet whey

    • I never thought a protein powder could taste so delicious and decadent, but it does and it's this one.

      Monica S.
    • The best strawberry protein powder I have ever had. Just added to plain yogurt it is like the best strawberry yogurt. My absolute new favourite!

      Patti T.
    • The taste is fresh strawberry — nothing fake! It mixes in well, whether for a bowl or smoothie. My go-to for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up!

      Heather B.
    • Not only does this taste great, it is addictive — no funny over-sweet aftertaste. Highly recommended!
