The headlines are about plant protein. PaleoPro is grass-fed beef + pastured egg — 26g protein, 120 calories, and nothing that shows up in those reports.

The Headline You Keep Seeing
Seen the news?
Beef + egg doesn’t have that problem.

Independent testing keeps turning up lead, cadmium and arsenic in popular plant proteins. It’s not a scandal — it’s just where the protein comes from. PaleoPro is built from grass-fed beef and pastured eggs, so the reports simply aren’t about us.

Heavy metals keep showing up in the reports.

PaleoPro Paleo Protein Powder — back-of-pack label
Every number, every ingredient — nothing hidden.
Nothing to hide.
It’s all on the back.

You read the headlines about plant protein. Now turn our bag over. Beef protein & collagen from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows and egg white protein from the non-GMO eggs of pastured chickens — 120 calories and 26g protein a scoop, 0g added sugar.

What’s not in the bag: no wheat, gluten or grains · no whey, lactose or dairy · no soy additives or fillers · no added sugars · no pesticides or preservatives.

Why It Keeps Happening

The Reports Aren't About Us.

The heavy-metal story is really a sourcing story. Here's why an animal-based scoop reads differently.

N°01

It Starts in the Soil

Plants pull up whatever's in the ground they grow in — including heavy metals. Concentrate a crop into a scoop and you can concentrate that too.

N°02

Beef + Egg, From the Pasture

PaleoPro protein comes from grass-fed beef and pastured eggs — animals raised on pasture, not crops processed from contaminated soil.

N°03

26g Protein, 120 Calories

A complete-protein scoop: 26g of protein at just 120 calories, 0g added sugar. Real numbers, no proprietary blend hiding the rest.

N°04

A Label You Can Read

Beef protein, egg white, monk fruit, natural flavor. Short enough to read at the shelf and pronounce out loud.

A Letter From the Founder

He Couldn't Find It. So He Made It.

After an accident left him unable to walk, Doug rebuilt his body with real food — no fillers, no shortcuts. He went looking for a clean protein that matched his paleo life, and everything on the shelf was whey, soy, or a crop concentrated into a scoop.

So he built it in his own kitchen with one rule: real animal protein, grass-fed and pastured, nothing else. Over a decade later we're in Sprouts and Whole Foods nationwide — and the formula still hasn't changed.

The Reports, Explained

Independent testing has repeatedly found trace heavy metals — lead, cadmium, arsenic — more often in plant-based proteins than in animal-based ones. The reason is sourcing: plants take up whatever is in the soil they grow in. PaleoPro is made from grass-fed beef and pastured eggs, not crops concentrated into a powder.

Grass-fed beef protein and egg white protein, with monk fruit and natural flavor — 26g of complete protein and 120 calories per scoop, 0g added sugar. No dairy, grains, gluten, soy, gums, or fillers.

Yes — NSF Certified, GMP Certified, Non-GMO, and made in the USA since 2013. Every claim on the label is backed and verifiable.

Most protein-powder bloat comes from lactose in whey plus gums and fillers. PaleoPro is 100% dairy-free and gum-free, so there's nothing there for your gut to fight.

Every order is backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason, email info@paleopro.com and we'll make it right.

Real Food, Nothing to Report

Real Protein. Nothing to Report.
