Designed to deliver on the growing need of high-quality, animal-free protein powders, Natreve’s Mooless line provides the taste and texture of traditional whey protein but with a markedly lighter environmental footprint, the brand said.
“Our mission of becoming the most sustainable wellness brand on the planet is an ambitious one that is now being realized through the launch of Mooless,” said Roland Radu, CEO of Natreve. “To say that we are excited to see Mooless at The Vitamin Shoppe and in shopping carts today — both online and in physical stores — would be a massive understatement. With Mooless animal-free whey protein powder, Natreve now provides even more options for people to invest in their health while protecting the health of our planet.”
Made with Perfect Day’s animal-free whey protein through precision fermentation and without any animal inputs, Mooless is free of hormones, lactose and gluten. It contains 20 g of protein, 4.6 g of BCAAs and a full spectrum of digestive enzymes per serving, the company said.
