Whey+ Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate
Legion uses 'Truly Grass-Fed' certified milk from small Irish dairy farms, ensuring the highest animal welfare and nutritional standards. It is one of the best-tasting natural proteins available without using excessive sugars.
Quality & Materials
Non-GMO, hormone-free (rBST/rBGH-free); uses erythritol and stevia for sweetness which may be preferable for those avoiding all sugar.
Evidence & Testing
Tested by Labdoor for purity and label accuracy, consistently scoring in the top tier for protein quality.
Brand Transparency
Legion publishes their clinical research summaries and is fully transparent about their Irish dairy sourcing.
Value Assessment
Excellent value at $2.00/serving, often discounted with subscriptions to ~$1.50, making it the best value-to-quality ratio in the premium segment.
Why Not Alternatives?
Legion avoids the 'proprietary blend' trap and uses the 'Truly Grass-Fed' seal, which is a much higher standard than the self-regulated 'grass-fed' claims used by cheaper competitors.
