Casein+
Legion Casein+ is sourced from Truly Grass Fed™ farms in Ireland, which adhere to much stricter animal welfare and environmental standards than US-based grass-fed claims. The product is 100% natural and focuses on high-purity micellar casein.
Quality & Materials
Uses micellar casein from Irish cows that spend 300 days a year on pasture. Naturally sweetened with Stevia and Erythritol.
Evidence & Testing
Third-party tested by Labdoor for purity and potency. While not NSF Sport certified like Ascent, the Labdoor verification is highly reputable for general consumers.
Brand Transparency
Legion is extremely transparent about their 'Truly Grass Fed' sourcing, which is a third-party verified sustainability and animal welfare certification.
Value Assessment
Priced similarly to Transparent Labs. The value lies in the ethical sourcing and the absence of any synthetic chemicals.
Why Not Alternatives?
Legion is superior to brands like Dymatize because they exclude all artificial flavors and sweeteners while maintaining a superior taste profile. They also use third-party testing via Labdoor to verify purity.
