Ingredients explained

Grass-fed beef protein isolate Grass-fed beef protein isolate

Sustainably sourced from grass-fed cows, this complete protein delivers all essential amino acids, supporting muscle maintenance, bone health and recovery. Gentler on the gut than whey, it provides lasting nourishment in every scoop. Easily digestible, it reflects the protein sources our bodies evolved to metabolise efficiently, forming the foundation of this blend and helping you carry strength and energy through your days.

EU Bovine Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides EU bovine hydrolysed collagen peptides

Our Type 1 collagen peptides support connective tissue, joints, bones and recovery. Ancestral diets naturally provided collagen through whole-animal consumption, and True Collagen helps restore lost nourishment in modern diets. Easily absorbed and blended into a smooth, delicious powder, it helps maintain strength, elasticity and vitality from the inside out, giving the body what it needs to keep moving with ease.

Grass-fed, freeze-dried liver and kidney Grass-fed, freeze-dried liver and kidney

Treasured as sacred by our ancestors for their nutrient density, liver and kidney deliver highly bioavailable vitamins and cofactors. Kidney provides B vitamins, zinc, and iron for cellular support, antioxidant protection, and overall vitality. Liver supplies vitamin A, folate, and iron for immunity, skin health and resilience. Sourced from grass-fed New Zealand cows and freeze-dried to preserve potency, these organ extracts honour the whole animal, minimising waste and restoring the deep nourishment that once formed the backbone of ancestral diets.

Actazin® New Zealand Green Kiwifruit Actazin® New Zealand Green Kiwifruit

Clinically studied Actazin® green kiwifruit powder contains the actinidin enzyme, naturally aiding protein digestion and improving amino acid absorption. Its gentle fibre and plant compounds support smooth digestion, making protein easier to enjoy without discomfort. Designed for modern life, it ensures every scoop of Brave Ancestral Protein feels light, helping the body absorb nutrients efficiently while keeping digestion comfortable and effortless.

Methylated B Complex Methylated B Complex

Our thoughtfully selected B-complex helps convert food into energy you can really feel, reducing fatigue and keeping your focus steady as life unfolds. Fully methylated for optimal absorption, it supports your body in using these nutrients efficiently. In every serving of Brave Ancestral Protein, B vitamins quietly sustain energy and endurance, helping you stay present and connected to the flow of your day.

Raw Cacao Raw Cacao

Raw cacao is made from unprocessed and unroasted cacao powder.

Raw cacao not only offers a smooth chocolate flavour but is also rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which may help combat oxidative stress and nourish the skin. It naturally contains essential minerals such as magnesium, promoting heart health and supporting mood. Additionally, raw cacao is a good source of healthy fats and fibre, supporting digestive health.

Cinnamon Cinnamon

Cinnamon, a cherished culinary spice and Ayurvedic remedy for centuries, is known for its ability to support healthy blood sugar balance. Its natural sweetness helps reduce the need for added sugars, while its warm, comforting flavour and aroma make it a beloved ingredient.

Cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and contains naturally occurring compounds that have potential benefits on heart and brain health.

Beetroot Beetroot

Vibrant deep pink and packed with earthy flavors, beetroot has long been one of our favorite ingredients. It’s rich in nutrients like folate, vitamin C, manganese, potassium, and fibre, plus powerful plant compounds such as betanin, an antioxidant.

Beetroot also contains inorganic nitrates, which may help support healthy blood pressure by converting to nitric oxide.

Our organic beetroot powder adds a rich, velvety depth, enhancing both its flavour and nutrient profile.

Pink Himalayan Salt Pink Himalayan Salt

Protected by snow and ice, Himalayan pink salt remains untouched by modern pollution, making it one of the purest salts on Earth. More than just sodium, it contains essential electrolyte minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, along with an impressive array of trace minerals.

A pinch of this pristine pink salt enhances both the flavour and nutritional value, delivering a subtle yet impactful touch.

There's protein and then there's protein.
This one goes way beyond the basics.

    Protein As Nature Intended

    Many modern proteins can strain digestion or rely on artificial blends to deliver a full amino acid profile. Beef protein isolate honours ancestral design - gentle on the gut, naturally complete, and slow to release. Rich in micronutrients and supported by Actazin® Green Kiwifruit, it sustains steady energy, supports muscle repair and provides nourishment that the body recognises.

FAQs

What are the benefits of taking Brave Ancestral Protein?

+ Helps you meet your daily protein needs - offering a complete amino acid profile to support strength, muscle health and the steady energy your day demands.
+ Supports comfortable digestion - with with Actazin® green kiwifruit - a natural enzyme source that helps break down protein smoothly and is recognised for contributing to normal bowel regularity.
+ Nourishes whole-body health through the synergistic addition of True Collagen to help care for connective tissues, joints, and recovery after movement.
+ Provides natural micronutrients from freeze-dried liver and kidney sourced from grass-fed New Zealand cows - including vitamin A, iron, B12 and folate for everyday nourishment.

+ Delivers antioxidant and mineral support through functional botanicals - Cacao, Beetroot, Carob, and Cinnamon - offering both phytonutrient richness and a naturally indulgent flavour."

Why have you chosen beef protein isolate as the protein source in this product?

We chose beef protein isolate because it’s a gentler, more ancestral-aligned alternative to protein sources that many people struggle to digest. Sustainably sourced from grass-fed cows, it naturally provides a complete amino acid profile.Its slower digestion helps support longer-lasting satiety and steadier energy, and its excellent bioavailability means the body can absorb and utilise these amino acids efficiently. To support digestion even further, we’ve included Actazin® green kiwifruit, a natural enzyme that helps the body break down protein smoothly while supporting gut comfort.

Why have you included liver and kidney powders in this product?

Organ meats are among the most nutrient-dense foods available, celebrated throughout ancestral food traditions yet often missing from modern diets. Liver and kidney offer a wealth of micronutrients - including folate, vitamin A, B vitamins, iron, magnesium and zinc - at levels that muscle meat alone cannot provide. Including freeze-dried liver and kidney, from grass-fed New Zealand cows, allows us to reconnect with this long-lost element of heritage nutrition in a way that honours the whole animal and reduces waste, while still keeping the flavour rich, smooth and inviting. It’s an accessible way to bring organ meats back into daily life, without any compromise on taste or texture.

Can I take this protein if I don't exercise or work out often?

Yes. Protein is a daily essential for every body. As a macronutrient, it supports growth and repair, immune health, hormone and enzyme production and bone strength. Brave Ancestral Protein isn’t designed as a high-protein gym supplement or a meal replacement. Instead, it’s a nourishing daily top-up that supports whole-body vitality, whether you're working out or simply moving through everyday life. Beyond the complete protein, each serving brings collagen peptides for tissue support, nutrient-dense organ meats for deep ancestral nourishment, Actazin® green kiwifruit to support protein digestion, a methylated B-complex to help reduce tiredness and maintain energy levels, and botanicals like Cacao, Beetroot and Cinnamon for natural polyphenols and supportive plant compounds. It’s designed to elevate your baseline, not just your workout.

What does it taste like?

Brave Ancestral Protein has a rich, velvety taste similar to Cacao + Collagen. The flavour comes from cacao, carob and beetroot, with a gentle natural sweetness from cinnamon and coconut sugar nectar, rounded off with a subtle mineral note from pink Himalayan salt. It’s earthy, chocolatey and deeply satisfying.

Can I take this product alongside other Ancient + Brave products?

Absolutely. Brave Ancestral Protein sits comfortably alongside the rest of the Ancient + Brave range. Each serving contains 2 g of True Collagen, and we typically recommend 5-10 g per day for meaningful joint, skin and connective tissue support - so many people like to pair it with True Collagen or Wild Collagen, especially in a smoothie, coffee or morning ritual. It also works well alongside True Creatine+ or any of your existing daily blends.

Can I heat this product?

Yes, it can be used in baked recipes, warm oats and hot drinks. The only thing to keep in mind is that Actazin®’s natural enzyme activity is sensitive to heat, so baking will reduce its digestive enzyme benefit. You'll still receive the protein, fibre and micronutrients, but for the full digestive effect you might prefer to stir it into warm foods after cooking.

When should you take Brave Ancestral Protein?

Brave Ancestral Protein is best enjoyed during the day, and avoided in the late evening due to the vitamin B12 which can disrupt sleep for some. It can be added to oats, smoothies, yoghurt or simply enjoyed with milk or water.

Is this product suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

As with all supplements, we recommend speaking to your doctor or midwife before introducing anything new during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Is this protein powder easy on the stomach?

Yes. Brave Ancestral Protein is designed to be gentle on digestion. It uses beef protein isolate, which is easier to tolerate than whey or other protein sources because it’s free from common dairy proteins that can cause bloating or discomfort.

We have also added Actazin®, a green kiwi fruit powder, which naturally contains digestive enzymes which support comfortable digestion by helping to break down proteins.

Please note - individual responses can vary. if you have a sensitive digestive system, it’s best to start with a smaller serving and increase gradually when introducing any new food or supplement. If you have a medical condition or specific health concerns, consult your healthcare practitioner before use.
