BearWell™ protein is different because we focus on every detail, from sourcing to flavour. Our grass-fed protein comes from New Zealand’s lush pastures, but we don’t stop there. We use real ingredients like freeze-dried strawberry pieces in our Mixed Berry flavor, adding a unique and delicious crunch, and real vanilla beans in Smooth Vanilla for an authentic, rich taste. These little extras make a big difference - who else offers such care and quality in their protein?
New Zealand grass-fed protein is renowned for its purity and quality. Thanks to the country’s lush, green pastures, clean air, and natural environment, cows graze freely year-round, producing nutrient-rich dairy. Grass-fed protein from New Zealand is higher in essential nutrients like omega-3s and antioxidants, while also being more sustainable and eco-friendly. It’s protein you can trust, from a country that prioritises the wellbeing of both its animals and environment.
Yes, all BearWell™ products are completely gluten-free and contain no artificial additives. We believe in providing clean, natural nutrition without unnecessary fillers or thickeners. With BearWell™, you’re getting pure, high-quality protein that supports your health without compromising on taste or integrity.
Yes, BearWell™ protein is suitable for vegetarians. Our protein is derived from grass-fed cows, making it a great option for those who include dairy in their vegetarian diet.
Artificial flavours are lab-created chemicals designed to mimic natural tastes. While they might improve flavour, they often come with potential downsides like causing digestive discomfort, allergic reactions, or long-term health concerns. These additives can also mask the quality of ingredients in a product, which is why at BearWell™, we choose real, natural ingredients. By avoiding artificial flavours, we prioritise your health and ensure that what you’re consuming is pure and clean - without hidden additives that don’t serve your body.
Vegetable gums, like guar gum or xanthan gum, are often used to thicken and stabilise products, but they don’t add nutritional value. For some people, these gums can cause digestive issues like bloating or discomfort, especially in larger amounts. At BearWell™, we avoid using gums and thickeners because we believe in keeping our products simple and easy to digest. Our focus is on delivering pure, clean protein without unnecessary ingredients that can stress the digestive system.
Protein isn’t just for gym-goers; it plays a vital role in overall health for everyone. Even if you don’t work out, protein helps your body maintain muscle mass, supports energy levels, and aids in recovery from daily physical and mental tasks. It also supports immune function, skin health, and the production of essential hormones and enzymes. Taking protein powder can help ensure you’re meeting your daily protein needs, especially if your diet lacks sufficient protein sources.
No, taking protein won’t make you bulky unless you’re actively trying to build significant muscle mass through heavy training. Protein is essential for maintaining overall health, supporting muscle recovery, and keeping energy levels stable. It also helps maintain lean muscle, which is important for metabolism, daily strength, and overall wellbeing. Including protein in your diet helps ensure your body functions optimally, regardless of your fitness goals.
WPC: Contains more fats and carbohydrates, offering a creamier texture and a more balanced profile of nutrients. It’s a great option for those who want a more natural and filling protein source.
WPI: Undergoes additional filtration, resulting in a higher protein content with lower fats, carbs, and lactose. It’s ideal for those seeking a leaner option or if you're sensitive to lactose.
Protein can be taken at various times throughout the day depending on your goals. In the morning, it can help kickstart your day, while after physical activity, it supports recovery. You can also enjoy it as a healthy snack to maintain energy or before bed to support overnight recovery.
While collagen is high in protein, it primarily supports skin, joints, and connective tissues. Whey protein, on the other hand, provides a complete amino acid profile, essential for muscle repair, recovery, and overall health. If your goal is to support muscle maintenance or boost daily protein intake, whey protein is a great complement to collagen for a well-rounded approach to your wellness routine.
For best results, store your protein in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
Absolutely! BearWell™ protein is versatile and can be added to smoothies, breakfast bowls, and even used in baking to create high-protein snacks.
The amount of protein you need depends on your individual goals and activity levels. For general guidance, athletes often aim for 1.8 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, while older adults looking to maintain muscle mass should aim for 1 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight.
