This Secret Ingredient Will Help Power Your Next Sweat Session At The Gym
Crush your workout – and not the planet – with the world’s first 100% animal-free whey protein
Be it opting for more plant-based meat substitutes, carrying around reusable shopping totes instead of relying on plastic bags or opting to walk rather than drive, many people have prioritised making healthier, more sustainable choices in their day-to-day lives. Not only can these decisions have a positive impact on your health, they’re also kinder on the planet.
The same can go for the essential fuel that you’re using to power your early morning spin class, mid-afternoon strength session in the weight room or post-work sunset run. If you’ve been wanting to get your protein fix in a more environmentally friendly – though no less effective – way, but aren’t sure of the options available on the market, you’re in luck.
Enter V-Whey by California Performance Co. This high-performance, low-impact whey protein from the US has made its long-awaited debut in Singapore, and is designed to help you level up and conquer your workout while doing good for the environment. Besides containing 100% animal-free ingredients and zero hormones or lactose, it’s also made using more eco-friendly production methods – without sacrificing texture or taste.

Conventional whey protein is usually derived from cow’s milk: which makes it unsuitable for vegans, vegetarians and those who follow a lactose-free diet. But V-Whey switches things up by harnessing Perfect Day’s animal-free, real-dairy protein – so that those abstaining from animal products can still drive their exercise routines with the power of whey.
How does it all work? V-Whey’s innovative manufacturing process subs out cows for microflora: tiny organisms that can be taught to create animal-free milk protein by supplying them with a digital version of the milk-making genetic blueprint from a cow.
The microflora are then fed with plenty of plant sugars, which they convert into milk protein through precision fermentation. The result? An animal-free milk protein that’s identical to the protein found in cow’s milk.
This means that you can get the same performance power and high-quality nutrition of real dairy whey products – but from a next-generation option that doesn’t use animals at any stage of the production process.
It’s a win for the animals, the environment and your health.
When it comes to dietary restrictions, V-Whey does a whole lot more than just cater to vegans and vegetarians. Since it doesn’t contain any animal products, it’s 100% devoid of lactose, hormones and cholesterol. Hence, it’s even purer than traditional dairy products, and makes for a great choice if you want to adopt healthier and cleaner nutrition habits. And that’s not all. V-Whey is also suitable for those with a soy- or gluten-free diet.
But none of this comes at the expense of taste and texture: after all, no one wants to chug down a protein shake that isn’t as delicious as it is effective. V-Whey’s creamy and velvety texture mirrors regular dairy products, so you’d be forgiven for thinking that you’re sipping on a drink that contains regular whey protein made using cow’s milk.
V-Whey is available in a range of rich, great-tasting flavours, such as Chocolate Brownie, Vanilla Sundae and Mixed Berry. The Chocolate Brownie and Vanilla Sundae versions also contain zero added sugar, making them easier and lighter to consume compared to conventional whey proteins.
This allows you to improve your performance and recovery, while simultaneously giving your taste buds a tasty, mouth-watering treat.
It’s no secret that standard animal-farming methods – which release a significant amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere – aren’t all that great for the planet. By default, animal-free whey – such as the kind present in V-Whey – is naturally kinder on the environment. It achieves this by cutting out the GHGs emitted by livestock, which is a significant contributor to the current climate crisis, because it’s made through fermentation instead of coming from animals.
In fact, compared to whey protein from cows, the animal-free whey protein ingredient used to make V-Whey creates up to 97% fewer GHG emissions than conventionally farmed dairy. What’s more, it also uses up to 99% less water and up to 60% less non-renewable energy – making it a big win for sustainability.
Indeed, the next time you’re fuelling up to crush those targets at the gym, you don’t have to choose between the planet and your performance. By selecting V-Whey, you’re ensuring that you get all the benefits of your favourite whey protein with far less environmental impact – so that you can do better by your health, and by your world.
