Goatein® from Garden of Life®
Pure goat's milk protein, for a complete protein, the way nature intended
Goatein® is pure goat's milk protein. A unique protein powder made from goat's milk, it contains all eight essential amino acids — protein building blocks crucial to good health. Goatein® is easy to digest, and can be tolerated by many people who have difficulty digesting cow's milk.

About Goatein®:
Proteins are important building blocks in the body, making up the foundational component to all tissues (muscles, organs, blood cells, hormones and the enzymes that make everything work) and are an essential part of a healthy diet. Without enough high quality protein, your body simply can't function or heal.
Proteins contain 20 different amino acids. Many of these, the body can synthesize from other amino acids; but, eight of them are "essential", and must be obtained through food. There are many food sources for protein, but animal proteins — such as those in Goatein® — are nutritionally complete and superior to vegetarian proteins, which are typically missing one or more of the essential amino acids. This distinction in quality is even more important to understand and address for those who exercise heavily, have hormonal problems, are in a healing process (such as recovery from illness or accident) or detoxifying from, for example, amalgam filling poisoning.
Goatein® is:

- An excellent source of complete protein, containing all eight essential amino acids — protein building blocks crucial to good health.
- Great for those on low carbohydrate diets.
Goatein® goats are not fed pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones or antibiotics.
More about Goatein®:
Q: Why do I need protein?
A: Proteins form the foundations for muscles, skin, bones, hair, teeth, blood, the brain, the heart, hormones and enzymes — and billions of biochemical activities in the body. Without adequate, high quality protein in the diet, the body simply cannot function as it should or heal from illness, injury or toxicities.
Proteins are synthesized from 20 amino acids, eight of which are considered "essential" because the body cannot produce them, and they must be obtained from the foods we eat.
Q: How is Goatein® different from other protein products?
A: Goatein® is an animal protein. Animal proteins are the only sources of complete protein. Vegetarian protein sources — such as soy — are typically missing one or more of the essential amino acids, even if their protein content is high. This means that the quality of Goatein® is superior to other, non-animal based, proteins.
And, it should be noted that many vegetable proteins are made from non-organic or genetically modified organisms, and may contain chemical residues.
But, there is another element of quality that you will find with Goatein®: It contains pure goat's milk, from goats raised without antibiotics or growth hormones — as nature intended. Many commercial dairy protein powders are produced from animals given antibiotics and hormones.
Goatein is processed without excessive heat, so all its elements remain in their natural forms. Other milk protein powders that claim to be minimally processed are, in fact, subject to invasive processing, including heating and drying at high temperatures.
Also, the protein molecules in goat's milk have a different structure than those in cow's milk. Goat's milk has smaller molecules than cow's milk, making it closer in size and composition to human milk.
- Pre-digesting, through a lactic acid fermentation process, makes Goatein® even more bio-available, and virtually eliminates its lactose content.
- Furthermore, during the fermentation process, many digestive enzymes are created that aid in the assimilation of food nutrients.
This allows certain people who cannot tolerate bovine milk to consume milk protein from goats.
Q: Why should I use Goatein®?
A: Goatein® is a complete source of animal protein, antibiotic- and hormone-free and minimally processed, making it a very high quality protein from which your body will readily benefit.
- You could use Goatein® if you are on a low carbohydrate diet and are looking to supplement with high quality protein.
- You could use Goatein® if you want an animal protein, but have trouble digesting cow's milk protein.
Suggested Use: Adults, take one scoop, mixed with 8 ounces of juice or water, as often as desired. Blend or shake vigorously. Great in smoothies, mixed in cereals or sprinkled on yogurt.
Goatein® is a superior-quality protein concentrate made from partially pre-digested goat's milk.
