What is bare protein?

Bare Protein is a clean, high-quality beef isolate protein powder made with just three ingredients: beef isolate, monk fruit, and real vanilla bean. No fillers, no junk—just pure, effective protein.

Why beef protein instead of whey or plant-based protein?

Beef isolate protein is highly bioavailable, meaning your body can absorb and use it efficiently. Unlike whey, it’s dairy-free and gentler on digestion. Compared to plant-based protein, it contains a complete amino acid profile with no added gums or grain-based ingredients.

Is Bare Protein made from actual beef?

Yes, it’s made from hydrolyzed beef protein isolate derived from high-quality beef. It’s not collagen, gelatin, or a bone broth blend—it's a complete protein source rich in amino acids.

Is it suitable for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Absolutely. Bare Protein is completely dairy-free and lactose-free, making it a great alternative to whey protein for those with sensitivities.

How does beef isolate compare to whey protein?

Beef isolate offers similar muscle-building benefits to whey but without the dairy. It’s naturally rich in collagen and amino acids like glycine and proline, supporting joints, skin, and gut health in addition to muscle recovery.

What makes Bare Protein different from other beef proteins?

Many “beef” proteins on the market are collagen or gelatin-based. Bare Protein uses beef isolate, which is a complete protein source. Plus, it’s free from artificial sweeteners, flavours, and fillers—just three simple, real ingredients.

Is it paleo- or keto-friendly?

Yes! Bare Protein is both paleo and keto-friendly, with no sugar, no carbs, and clean, whole-food ingredients.

What does it taste like?

It has a clean, smooth vanilla flavor, thanks to real vanilla bean and a touch of monk fruit for natural sweetness. No beefy or gamey taste—just pure, delicious simplicity.

How should I use Bare Protein?

You can mix it with any milk, or blend it into smoothies. It also works well in protein pancakes, baking, or stirred into yogurt or oats.  We prefer it with almond milk, banana and almond butter. 

Is it good for muscle building and recovery?

Definitely. Bare Protein is a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids. It supports muscle growth, recovery, and repair—ideal post-workout or as a daily protein boost.

Is this the same as collagen protein?

No. While beef isolate contains some natural collagen, it is a full-spectrum protein with a complete amino acid profile. Collagen alone is not a complete protein and doesn’t support muscle growth in the same way.

Is it safe for kids or pregnant women?

While Bare Protein is made from clean ingredients, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement during pregnancy or for young children.

Where is Bare Protein made?

Bare Protein is proudly made in North America using high-quality, traceable beef sources under strict manufacturing standards.

How is it sweetened?

We use only monk fruit—a zero-calorie, natural sweetener with no aftertaste or blood sugar spike.

Are there any artificial ingredients or additives?

None. Bare Protein is completely free from artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, gums, soy, dairy, gluten, and preservatives.

How is it different from plant-based protein powders?

Plant proteins often require blending multiple sources to achieve a full amino acid profile and may contain gums or grains. Bare Protein is naturally complete, easier to digest, and doesn’t cause bloating or stomach upset.

What makes Bare Protein ideal for people eating clean or following elimination diets?

With just three simple ingredients and no common allergens, Bare Protein fits into clean eating plans, elimination diets, autoimmune protocols (AIP), and anti-inflammatory lifestyles.

How many grams of protein are in each serving?

Each serving of Bare Protein delivers approximately 23 grams of clean, complete protein.

Is Bare Protein good for gut health?

Yes! Many people find whey or plant-based proteins cause bloating, gas, or indigestion. Bare Protein is easy on the stomach, dairy-free, and free of gums, lectins, and anti-nutrients that can irritate the gut lining.

Is Bare Protein suitable for people with food sensitivities?

Yes. Bare Protein is free from common allergens like dairy, soy, gluten, and eggs. It’s made with minimal ingredients, which makes it a great option for people with dietary restrictions or sensitive systems.
