FAQ
Where do you source the beef bones from?
Right here in New Zealand.
We take pride in sourcing the best quality bones from the healthiest and happiest cows we can find. Our Bone Broth products are proudly made from 100% grass fed and finished cattle from New Zealand. All bones are hormone and anti-biotic-free.
Where do you source the mushrooms from?
Our mushrooms are sourced from China, the birthplace of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where they've been used for hundreds of years. This ensures high-quality, potent mushrooms, cultivated using time-honoured methods that maximise their health benefits.
How is the Bone Broth Protein Powder made?
We use a traditional cooking technique to extract the goodness from 100% grass-fed New Zealand beef bones. Then, we gently dry the broth to remove the water and preserve its nutritional profile. Finally, we stir in the flavour (natural vanilla, natural caramel, sea salt, or cocoa), and add monk fruit for sweetness. Nothing else is added.
What is the source of protein in Protein SPORT?
Many believe this product combines protein powder with bone broth, but in reality, the protein powder is made directly from the bone broth extraction.
What does the Bone Broth taste/smell like?
Bone broth extraction creates a natural amino acid profile, but it doesn’t taste or smell like meat. When formulating the Protein Powders, our priority was to ensure that the only taste you get is the intended flavour. If it weren’t for the benefits you’ll feel, you’d never know the difference, as there’s no broth taste, smell, or feel. Simply put, it's delicious!
If you've worked heavily with meat before as a butcher or in an abattoir, we've had feedback that it can trigger a more potent meat memory smell.
How well does Protein SPORT mix?
Very well. Achieving a smooth and creamy texture was one of our main priorities when formulating the product. Feedback says it blends seamlessly, unlike many protein powders that feel "gritty." That's a big thumbs up from us!
Is Protein SPORT safe for pregnancy/breastfeeding?
Yes, our range is all-natural, making it not only safe but highly recommended. It’s a great way to get the extra protein your body needs during pregnancy. However, it is advised to discuss any supplement intake with your GP or healthcare professional before consumption, just to be safe.
Is Protein SPORT gluten & dairy-free?
Yes, absolutely. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, legume-free, low in sugar, and high in protein and collagen.
Is Protein SPORT suitable for a low FODMAP, keto, or paleo diets?
Yes. Our bone broth protein powders are 100% FODMAP friendly. We always suggest consulting with your healthcare professional first if you are unsure.
Is the Bone Broth Halal certified?
Yes. All our products are verified to comply with Islamic dietary laws and are therefore permissible for consumption or use by Muslims. Halal certification indicates that the product has been produced, processed, and handled according to Islamic principles, ensuring that it does not contain any forbidden ingredients or involve any prohibited practices in its manufacturing process.
Is it tested for heavy metals and nutritional content?
All our ingredients are natural, including Monk fruit, vanilla extract, and all the Bone Broth ingredients. Our products contain no artificial flavours or preservatives. Our entire range is made from non-GMO ingredients and undergoes independent testing for heavy metals. Results show that they are in a very safe range for heavy metals. It's important to note that basically everything grown in soil contains metals.
What is Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract?
Lion’s mane is a functional mushroom known for its cognitive benefits. It supports memory, focus, and overall brain function while also supporting nerve health and reducing inflammation
What is Cordyceps Mushroom Extract?
Cordyceps are another type of medicinal mushroom recognised for supporting energy and endurance. Cordyceps may improve athletic performance, enhance stamina, and support respiratory health.
What does dual-extract mean?
Dual extract refers to a process that combines both water and alcohol extraction to capture a broader range of beneficial compounds from mushrooms. This method ensures that both water-soluble nutrients and alcohol-soluble compounds are included, maximising the health benefits of the mushroom extract.
What does 10:1 extract mean?
It’s super concentrated! A 10:1 extract means that 10 parts of raw mushrooms are used to produce 1 part of the extract. This indicates a concentrated form, where the beneficial compounds are more potent compared to the original raw material.
What are beta-d-glucans?
Arguably one of the most important ingredients in mushroom supplements! Beta-D-glucans are a group of polysaccharides found in the cell walls of mushrooms and other plants and fungi. In medicinal mushrooms, these compounds are known for their immune-boosting properties and ability to enhance overall health. They may help modulate the immune system, promote gut health, and support heart health by improving cholesterol levels. Because of their numerous benefits, beta-D-glucans are a key reason why medicinal mushrooms are valued in traditional and modern wellness practices.
Important to note: when a supplement states ‘polysaccharides’, instead of beta-d-glucans, this may in also include fillers and/or parts of the growth medium.
Why is there no growing medium in the extraction?
Because there shouldn’t be any fillers or additives in a pure extract. The focus is on capturing the beneficial compounds from the mushrooms themselves, ensuring you get the highest potency and quality without unnecessary materials that could dilute the health benefits. This results in a more concentrated and effective extract.
