Animal-Free Whey Proteins

California Performance Co.'s V-Whey is Vegan-Friendly

— November 16, 2021 — Eco
California Performance Co. is the newest brand from The Urgent Company and offers items like animal-free whey products to consumers who want a better version of what they know. The brand's animal-free whey protein powders are made possible thanks to technology from Perfect Day, which relies on precision fermentation to deliver a multitude of nutritional benefits and a lower environmental footprint.

The brand's animal-free whey protein powders, dubbed V-Whey, can be found in decadent varieties like Chocolate Brownie, Mixed Berry and Vanilla Sundae. These whey protein powders are vegan-friendly and they share up to 23 grams of protein per serving, plus five grams of BCAAs. The smooth and creamy formulas are free from gluten, lactose, hormones, soy and added sugars.

Thanks to their unique production process, the protein powders require less blue water, non-renewable energy and generate 97% less emissions.
