I am interested in purchasing and supporting animal-friendly products. It says your cows are grass-fed. Are the animals treated humanely and are they pasture raised?

Yes! And thank you for your recent purchase and for your support of animal-friendly products! Rest assured, we side with you 100% and are happy to tell you that the cows that produce the milk for our whey protein are raised on small independently owned farms, are not treated with any synthetic growth hormones, and are grass-fed/pasture-grazed animals. We have gone to great lengths to provide the highest-quality product possible from animals that are treated humanely and not given synthetic hormones. To the best of my knowledge we were the first protein powder company in the world (and still one of the few) to take this stance.

Is your whey protein imported from China?

No.  Our whey protein isolate is NOT imported from China.  When you buy Jay Robb protein you are buying one of the highest quality protein powders on the market today.

Do your whey protein powders contain added sugars, carbohydrates, aspartame or artificial sweeteners? 

No.  Our whey protein powder product line was developed in 1990 because we couldn't find any high quality, all natural, low-carbohydrate, good tasting proteins powders on the market. Our protein is sugar free, MSG free, chemical free and we do not have gluten in our ingredients.

Does your whey protein contain the hormones rBGH or BST? 

No. Our whey is produced from original herds of cows that are not given recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) or bovine somatotropin. 

How is your whey isolate protein powder created?

Whey protein isolate, which is used exclusively in Jay Robb Whey Protein, is created by cross-flow microfiltering liquid whey through a special ceramic membrane to create the highest grade of whey protein possible. There is NO heat used during the cold-filter processing of our whey protein formula. (This special process DOES NOT DENATURE the protein.) This unique process also yields a whey protein isolate that is much higher in protein than a whey protein concentrate and is also rich in immunoglobulins, alpha-lactalbumin, and beta-lactoalbumin and other immune boosting factors.

Jay Robb Whey Protein is made from the finest natural ingredients available to deliver 25 grams of first-class protein, 0-fat, 0-cholesterol, 0-sugars, and only 1 gram of carbohydrate per 30-gram serving. Only microfiltered whey protein isolate is used as the protein source, and this material comes from farm-raised, pasture-grazed, grass-fed cows not treated with the synthetic bovine growth hormone rBGH.

Unique natural flavors and the herb stevia are used to create a flavoring system that is palate pleasing and has made Jay Robb Whey Protein famous across the nation. Their tagline, “The Best-Tasting Protein on the Planet,” says it all. Jay Robb Whey Protein contains NO artificial flavors, NO artificial colors, NO aspartame, NO acesulfame-K,  and NO sucralose. This product is also instantized so that it mixes easily with the turn of a spoon. Jay Robb offers his Whey Protein in five outrageously delicious flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Pina Colada, and Tropical Dreamsicle.

Is your protein powder denatured in the process of making it?

No.  There is NO heat used during the cold-filter processing of our whey protein formula. (This special process DOES NOT DENATURE the protein.) This unique process also yields a whey protein isolate that is much higher in protein than a whey protein concentrate and is also rich in immunoglobulins, alpha-lactalbumin, and beta-lactoalbumin and other immune boosting factors.

Is your whey protein organic?

We are guaranteed by our supplier in writing that the whey comes from cows not treated with rBGH. The product is not certified organic due to limited supply of organic whey protein raw material at this time. We hope this will change in the future as the demand for our product grows.

Natural Flavors and Unflavored Jay Robb Protein Powder

Are the 'natural flavors' specifically listed on the label of your flavored protein powders 100% unaltered and natural?

Our flavors are naturally derived, and the flavors are uniquely blended with other key natural ingredients (that is a proprietary process). If you are sensitive to flavors (some people are sensitive to natural vanilla but not cocoa, etc.) then I suggest you try our unflavored egg white protein, or our unflavored whey protein. 

Pertaining to your natural flavoring, what do you use to make your chocolate whey/egg protein?

The chocolate flavor in our protein is created from a cocoa extract. There is no carob in our products.

Why are the scoopers for the whey vanilla and the whey unflavored different sizes?

The fluffiness of a product determines the scoop size. The fluffier the product, the larger the scoop needed to deliver one ounce. A denser material (protein powder) will thus require a smaller scoop to deliver the same one ounce serving.

I see that you carry several types of protein powder. What is the difference between your egg white protein and your whey protein? 

We carry several types of protein powders, with whey protein and egg white protein ranking at the top of our list. We have several reasons for carrying both. Some individuals are sensitive or allergic to dairy products, and the egg white protein, which is dairy and lactose free would be more suitable for them. Some individuals don't consume egg products because of spiritual beliefs, or food allergies, so the whey might be the best choice for them.  I personally use our Whey Protein.

Does the Jay Robb Whey protein powder have enzymes in it to break down the protein?

None of our protein formulas are fully predigested. A portion of the protein contained in our whey formula is predigested. Our whey is our only formula that contains any predigested protein. I am not a believer in fully digesting a protein powder because it can absorb too quickly causing an amino acid rush similar to a sugar rush. Protein and carbohydrate should break down slowly over time during natural digestion for best usability by the body.

How much sodium is in your Whey Protein?

Each serving of our whey is 30 grams and contains 150mg of sodium. The sodium in our whey is naturally occurring and not sodium chloride (table salt). Sodium that is naturally occurring in foods is an essential mineral and needs to be present to balance out potassium and the water table of the body. Sodium is also needed to create hydrochloric acid and buffer the acid by-products of digestion and metabolism.

Many companies sell casein protein and claim that the body absorbs it slower than whey. They state that it is good to take throughout the day and especially at night. Is that just marketing?  Why is Jay against it? 

The dictionary states: "Casein is a white, tasteless, odorless, milk and cheese protein that is used to make plastics, adhesives, paints, and foods." Casein is a very cheap protein used by companies to offer pliability to protein bars, and to save money on the production of protein powders and other high protein products. Casein is also very, very allergenic to many individuals and can be quite difficult to digest. Casein makes my stomach hurt when I consume it. 

Casein can absorb slower than whey, but whey is not a fast absorbing protein to begin with, so what is the point. Also, if you wish for a slower absorbing protein just eat it with more fat and it will break down much slower in the body and absorb over longer periods of time. This is why I usually recommend a fat or oil be added to a protein drink.

In summary, casein is a cheap protein that makes companies a larger profit margin. We would never compromise quality to increase our bottom line..

Is your protein powder pasteurized?

Our Jay Robb Whey Protein powder comes from milk that is flash pasteurized for approximately 15 seconds at 72° C (161° F). This causes very little denaturing of the raw materials. No further heat is applied at any other phase of creating our delicious whey protein powders.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL whey protein powders sold in the United States are from milk that is pasteurized as stated above or from milk heated to 145° F for 30 minutes. Many companies are now stating that their whey is “special” or unique in regard to heating and pasteurizing, but the truth remains that ALL whey proteins sold in America are from pasteurized milk.

Jay Robb Egg White protein powder is also flash pasteurized at the lowest temperature allowable by law at 134 degrees Fahrenheit for just 3 1/2 minutes

I always get my "Rhino Strength" before and after any game from Jay Robb protein.

I just was writing to let you know that i recently started using your protein powder because it was recommended in the Jorge Cruise Belly Fat Cure Cook Book and I love it! I usually hate protein drinks but yours is wonderful. My seven-year-old son has decided he also loves your powder. He is constantly wanting one of those yummy "milk shakes" as he likes to call them and that makes me very happy because he really is not a protein eater.

 
Keep up the great work!
 
Thank you,

- Stacey G.

Okay. I don't believe there could be a better whey protein powder on the planet in our universe. It is the best I've had, and I'm talking since I put the first powder in my mouth when I started working out about 15 years ago. I didn't abuse powders, but I have had my share, and none in the world compare to your powder. I do my homework and search out companies and their powders. They just don't cut it. Jay Robb rules.

Truly,

- Jason

Hi, I never write about products, but I had to say thank you for making such a pure protein powder. Jay Robb protein is the first protein powder I've tried, and I love it. I've tried others, thinking that there might be something "better" out there, but I always go back to Jay Robb. I'm fully convinced now there's nothing better out there. Every other powder has either tasted fake, had suspicious ingredients, tasted bad, or made me nauseated . . . Thank you!

- Grace

I just want to say that over the last day or two, I have noticed that I feel really good (after using your protein powders). My left hip, which is chronically painful, feels rejuvenated. My workouts have been energized, and I have felt stronger. Thanks for your help.

- Kathryn

A REALLY BIG THANKS for a protein powder that I can actually enjoy, instead of just trying to "slug down." I really enjoy the Jay Robb whey protein powders and am looking forward to trying some of the other Jay Robb products.

Thanks much for your production, information, and time.

- Bondolin

I ordered the Chocolate Whey Protein. I want to thank you for the speedy check out process and delivery! I also ordered a couple of bars (the Cashew Coconut and the Yammit Energy Bar). The Cashew Coconut tasted more like a candy bar than a protein bar! And the protein was everything you said it was: the best tasting protein! No chalkiness at all! We will definitely purchase some other flavors
soon!

Thanks again!

- P.G.

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve been taking your protein for about 15 years now, and Tropical Dreamsicle is the best flavor I’ve ever tasted. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

- Todd

Just want to say how impressed and pleased I am with the whey protein—it’s smooth and tastes fabulous. The all-natural ingredients are also important to me. I am equally impressed with the ingredients in the JayBars and will be buying those soon. I can’t wait to taste them. Thank you for clean, nutritious food in a very dirty, fake-food world.

- Bernadette

Hello,

Since September I have dropped 50 pounds and have made significant strength gains in the gym. My squats have gone from 50 pounds to 200 pounds, and my leg presses have gone from 180 pounds to 600 pounds. I am stronger than the college guys that use the leg press after me. I am 48, 5'5" and am probably older than most of their moms.

I love it! I am in the best shape of my life and am looking at doing a
figure competition next year. I could not have done this without your shakes. They taste great; they have no odd aftertaste like most other shakes do; and they assimilate easily. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful product.

- Sorcha

Just a note to say that I am a recent convert to Jay Robb protein and am totally, completely impressed. How refreshing to find a product of such high quality with such high standards!

Thanks for keeping it real,

- Heidi

I just recently purchased your Vanilla Whey Protein Powder. I have tried MANY different kinds of whey protein powders, and I have to say that yours, in fact, does taste the best I have EVER tried.

Thank you for your products!

- Shannon

Hi there. I just wanted to say how much I love Jay Robb Vanilla Whey Protein. I use it every time I make a smoothie. I also mix it with water sometimes and just drink it like that. It's great.
Recently, my father was visiting and in town and became hooked as well. He told me it was better than the whey protein he uses back home.

Thank you so much!

- Celethia

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the protein powder. It's the best! Now I can't wait to get up and have a sugar free breakfast before going to the gym!

- C.S.H.

Since starting your shakes, I've lost 30 lbs, and 6 people from my small town have followed suit and started the shakes. I started working out (I'm running a 5K in October), so the weight loss has slowed, but the muscle definition is progressing nicely.

- R.J.

Hey just letting you know after trying many years of protein powders I LOVE yours and will share on my facebook page! Easy to digest and great taste!! Thank you!

- H.T.P.

A pleasant day to you Jay, I have some good news for you, I did the Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox 5 days ago. Within the 3 days, I swear to you, I lost 10 lbs. Two days after, I weighed and I am still 10 lbs lighter. I am so happy, I am going to do it again soon. Next week, I am ordering The Shake Down Diet for sure. I am so happy I found you, Jay. Thanks a million!

- V.D.

Jay, I just got your vanilla & chocolate whey protein & they are without question the best I've ever had! Thanks for making such a great product!

- M.N.I.

I have been using your product for 6 months now and love it....it has helped me to stay full in the morning and have a nice sensible lunch and dinner....thank you Jay!

- J.M.

I absolutely LOVE Jay Robb protein powder. It is simply the best. I always recommend it to my students (I teach gx classes). With Jay Robb's protein powder, a cleaner diet, and exercise, I have lost 20 lbs & want to lose at least 15-20 more. I know with Jay Robb products this will happen. Thank you for such great stuff!...Update.....down 30 lbs! Thanks again Jay for the great products.

- C.E.R.

I personally use Jay Robb Whey Protein in my every day diet and training, both on season and off. I LOVE your products!!!!

- A.M.

I just bought the chocolate whey protein, it's surprisingly good compared to the other protein powders I've tried in the past! Good job!

- F.D.

Hey Jay! I love your Whey Protein Powder (especially the chocolate one). It is great after a workout, before a workout and sometimes even as a meal replacement. I am a graduate student and it really gives some great energy and tastes good too. I like to mix 1 scoop with about 6 to 8 ounces of chocolate soy milk (usually from Silk) and then about an ounce or 2 of water. Shake it up and your good to go. :) It took me a while to find a protein powder that was natural and tasted good. Thanks for such a great product. :)

- S.A.K.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jay Robb whey protein powder (chocolate and vanilla.)

- M.B.

Just received a sample package from the Jay Robb company. Clean protein shakes and protein bars galore. Sooooooo yummy!

- G.P.

Can't get enough. This Protein powder is the BEST. They have GREAT customer service too!

- M.B.

My fav flavor of Jay Robb Protein...Pina Colada! I have a JR Protein Drink every night! Jay Robb makes 'em better than anyone on the planet!

- B.N.

Just had your famous Blueberry Power Pancakes, made with Jay Robb Vanilla Protein, for brunch...mmmmmm!

- B.N.

One easy way to boost hair growth: exercise + protein shakes. I like Jay Robb chocolate whey.

- L.H.R.

As far as I'm concerned, this stuff can't be beat! The flavor is great, and unlike some other protein drinks that I've seen, it has all natural and very few ingredients and no sugar. I really don't like to eat things that have a bunch of ingredients that I can't even pronounce!

- K.K.C.

Jay Robb has the best protein powders. The vanilla and orange are my faves but I like the strawberry mixed with some light orange juice, it makes for a satisfying shake. Trying to motivate myself to drink one a day as a meal replacement and this is definitely one I could use to replace a meal.

- C.W.  

Good product, like the convenience of single-serving packets. No need to hassle with measuring out for a serving. Has a good taste to it.

- A.J.L.

Although more expensive than most, this is hands-down the best protein powder I've ever tasted! And, it has a short ingredients list (translation: no fillers or artificial sweeteners). I love that it is sweetened with stevia. The powder mixes easily with a spoon, although small lumps stay behind. I prefer to use a small shaker bottle or blender - it blends quickly and leaves no lumps this way. And did I mention that this tastes great?!? Seriously. Mix it with water, and you have a creamy, sweet treat that you'd swear was bad for you. It's even better blended with milk (I use almond milk), yogurt, or in a smoothie. I've tried both the vanilla and chocolate flavors, and I highly recommend both!

- P.J.

This tastes so good, and is so great as a base to all kinds of different shakes. I like throwing frozen fruit into mine with a little raw almond butter...tastes so good you'll think you're cheating!

- S.M.

This protein is the best on the market! It is delicious and does not need anything added to it. Super clean too.

- T.M.

First off, if you don't care about the quality or your health, don't bother spending the extra money on this product. Not all whey proteins are created equal, and this one has the added bonus of not containing rBGH or any hormones used to induce cow's milk quantity. The cows are free of impurities, and grass fed. Equally as important is the lack of artificial flavors or refined sweeteners. Jay Robb uses sweeteners derived from plant sources that don't spike blood sugar the way sugar or cane juice does, and has no health side effects like the artificial sweeteners.

And what's more, it tastes great! Granted, I haven't tried it on its own, I always mix it in to a smoothie. I use 6 ice cubes, 1 banana, 1 scoop powder, 2 large T peanut butter and vanilla rice milk (enough to make the right consistency.) And it's awesome! I've tried it with other powders and I can taste the texture and often a chalky flavor. This is by far the best. I've used the vanilla powder in a similar recipe with frozen fruit instead of peanut butter. I can't get enough! I'm not a sugar user though, so I could see how someone could think it's not sweet enough as it's not overpowering. I add honey when I want more of a dessert-like drink.

- K.N.

I tried a small package and it tasted great! And I really don't like chocolate that much. I'm ordering the larger size.

- C.M.H. 

This protein powder is definitely the best I've ever had (and I've had them all). I like it best with non-fat milk and it works as a meal replacement. My husband has very sensitive digestion and he can have it daily.

- A.M. 

This is the best chocolate protein I have ever tasted. Of all the Jay Robb flavors, this is my favorite. No sugar either!

- T.M.

Being a weight loss patient, I have to have a good protein source. I've tried so many protein drinks and honestly thought I was doomed to have to "grin and bear it." That's what I thought until I tried Jay Robb. No chalky protein drink after taste, no artificial sugars and mixes well. I've had the Flavorless, Chocolate, Pina Colada, Tropical Dreamsicle and they're all just as good. I haven't tried the Strawberry, simply because I have a sensitivity to strawberries.

- R.R.

Just got mine yesterday and I must say that it met my expectations. The best protein powder that I have tasted so far. It mixes really well with pretty much everything. Unsweetened chocolate almond milk, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, coconut water, frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, bananas....

- C.L. 

I love this product. It mixes very well and has a very good taste. I bought this because it does not have artificial sweetener in it, but uses stevia. I have serious reactions to artificial sweeteners which cause memory loss for me. I am chemical sensitive, which is probably why I react so severely to artificial sweeteners. I am also hypoglycemic and this helps stabilize by blood sugar. I have been using this for a couple of weeks as a breakfast substitute, mixing it with low fat milk and a banana and eating a healthy lunch and dinner. I have been losing about two pounds a week, which is what I want. This drink keeps me satisfied until lunch and I have not been doing any mid-morning snacking. I don't seem to be craving sweets throughout the day, which has always been a problem for me. I have tried the Pina Colada flavor which is wonderful.

- B.J. 

I love this stuff! I have a smoothie every morning with milk, frozen strawberries and the whey protein. It is the best tasting protein powder I've ever tasted and trust me, I've tasted my fair share of them. To be honest, I've fallen in love with the chocolate flavor and I haven't even tried any of his other flavors (yet).

- S.A.

Jay Robb is the best tasting Whey Protein powder that I've had. It blends well and is perfect for shakes using skim milk or water. Try combining with a frozen banana, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and a handful of ice cubes.

- C.H.

I've searched high and low for a quality protein drink that does not have Aspartame or Sucralose anywhere in the ingredients. Jay Rob's is just that, and better.

After reading the other reviews on Amazon, I was skeptical at first. How different can this really be from other protein drinks on the market? But I decided to give it a chance, and I am very, very happy with my decision. You know the disgusting aftertaste that sucralose and aspartame ridden products leave in your mouth? None of that here. Mix in some berries and peanut butter with ice and honey, and you have in my opinion, the best protein drink on the market.
Highly Recommended.

- V.L.R.

This is so good! I tried a small package and liked it so now buy it in large quantities. Breakfast is now a chocolate-raspberry smoothie: frozen raspberries, mocha Silk (soymilk) or Bolt Farms cappuccino protein drink, scoop of J.R. chocolate whey protein, a little flax oil, bzzzzz it in a blender & drink! Yummy and fast -- sometimes I drink it in the car on the way to work!

- G.G.

Delicious, dissolves easily, blends well with water, milk, and juice. Smoothies in the morning - Perfect!!!

- C.B.

This, by far, is the best protein powder I have tasted. I tend to love protein shakes and I always go back to this brand. Also, love the orange....throw in a fresh orange when you make a shake and voila....a 50/50 ( or Creamsicle) tasting shake!

- A.N.

This is by far the best protein powder on the market. My wife & I used this product in connection with the Eades Diet which is a low carb/low sugar plan. My wife lost 18 pounds and I lost 6 pounds in 4 weeks. I was already in pretty good shape so I had less to lose. This protein powder has very low carbs and sugar content so it was perfect for our diet. I have been making protein powder smoothies for my lunch for about 12 years and the Jay Robb is by far the best I've tried. Little more expensive but cost is definitely worth it.

- J.K.

My husband and I both love this protein shake-- it tastes great and is a nice little afternoon pick-me-up for me because it is so full of protein. I blend it with water and ice and it gets me through the afternoon hungry time for only 113 calories; he uses it more as a weight GAIN shake by blending it with ice cream and milk.

- J.W.

This is the first product I've found that I can stomach. I use the chocolate, and it doesn't make me nauseated, which is a big this for a novice. It's really helping me lose weight.

- H.R.

I love Jay Robb's protein powders.  I can assure you these are high quality, consistent products. I have tried both the chocolate & vanilla flavors, and while I like the chocolate better, both are great.

I make the Jamocha shake every morning for breakfast that is in the Jorge Cruise Belly Fat Cure book (page 95) The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week. I use a shot of whipped cream instead of the heavy cream since I usually have that on hand for my son's pancakes. It's great. I feel like I am really drinking the Arby's Jamocha shake.

I like that Jay Robb uses stevia to sweeten the powder and not the Splenda we see everywhere.

Great taste, good blending. Love this product.

- A.B.A.

I have tried many brands in the past and all hurt my stomach so I assumed I was allergic to the whey. It must have been all the junk in the other brands. I tried Jay Robb and have no problems. I have been having it 1 or 2 times a day and am very impressed. The Tropical Dreamsicle is the best tasting whey I have ever had.

- S.M.

Dear Mr. Robb,

Hi. I heard about whey-based protein powder for the first time in my liver transplant support group several years ago. For those of us with very limited liver function, animal protein is difficult to process.

For years my albumin level had been far below normal range, so it was important to supplement with some kind of protein.

Just by chance, I picked up Jay Robb whey-based protein powder at a natural food store, and within 3 months of taking it twice a day, I had increased my albumin count by 2! I was amazed because nothing I had tried yet had managed to budge it at all!

Now I always have a fruit shake made with the powder and sip from it all day long. I mix it with orange juice, some vanilla yogurt, fresh minced ginger, and flaked coconut. It's so refreshing and I know it is doing me a world of good! I get nervous if my supply gets low, which is why I am now buying directly from the source.

Thank you for making this wonderful product!
