Onyst Whole Food Protein Powder

Many people find whey and plant-based proteins can cause bloating, digestive issues, skin issues and inflammation due to the processed dairy (in whey), anti-nutrients (in plant proteins) and gut disrupting additives often used (in both).

If you look at the back of most protein powders, you'll likely find ingredients you have never heard of ... probably not the best sign. Additives like sweeteners, emulsifiers and gums are all ingredients our bodies have not biologically evolved on, and this ultimately shows in the way our gut health, skin health and overall wellbeing is affected when consuming these kinds of foods regularly.

Our whole food protein uses just 6 real food ingredients, without any additives, stevia, whey or pesticide-sprayed plant agriculture. It was made for those of us who truly care about what we put into our bodies.

Also, because we use whole food ingredients, our blend doesn't just offer protein, but also a large spectrum of bioavailable micronutrients that help your body to thrive each day :)

Onyst is for you if you prioritise eating real, whole foods and want a protein blend that matches this lifestyle 🥩🥑🫐🍓

Yes, getting proper nutrition from meals is key, but with today’s busy schedules and heavily processed options, it’s not always easy. If you need a simple way to boost your protein and micronutrient intake without ultra-processed ingredients, Onyst makes it effortless and affordable.

Also, if whey or vegan proteins haven’t worked for you - whether it’s bloating, sluggishness, dairy intolerance or taste - this could be a better alternative. Every ingredient is naturally gut-friendly, easy to digest, and packed with more than just protein.

Ultimately, it depends on what you're looking for, but if any of the above resonates with you, just know, Onyst was made for people like you.

A wholesome flavour that’s smooth, gently sweet, and easy to enjoy every day 😋

Our cacao option has a delicate dark chocolate taste, whilst natural vanilla is for those looking for a bit more of a blank slate to customise, capturing slight hints of pure vanilla pods alongside a creamy texture and malty undertones.

In both, the crushed dates and coconut nectar create a subtle dessert like sweetness without the need for any stevia or artificial sweeteners/flavourings. *We'll leave any additional sweetening down to you, we're all different.

We spent months refining the recipe to get this balance just right, making sure there’s no meaty or eggy taste, but rather a flavour people actually enjoy having in a wide variety of forms like milks, coffee, smoothies, yoghurt bowls and even baked goods (we have a recipes page if you're looking for some inspiration 😉).

With both cacao and natural vanilla to choose from, you can try both and find your favourite!

*Please note that we only use real vanilla bean in our blend, not extracts or flavourings, which means the 'natural (hint of vanilla)' flavour is much more subtle compared to most vanilla flavoured protein powders.

Our beef protein is exclusively sourced from grass-fed cattle, raised on the pristine pastures of Scandinavia on KRAV certified farms.

KRAV is the leading standard for organic and sustainable farming in Sweden, which stretches far beyond the basics. These farms follow strict organic principles whilst also prioritising soil health, biodiversity, animal welfare, climate responsibility, and fair working conditions.

This natural lifestyle ensures the cows enjoy a low-stress life, without any GMO or antibiotics - which translates into high quality, nutrient-dense beef.

Our whole egg powder is sourced exclusively from European farms where the regulatory standards for 'free range' eggs are some of the strictest in the world. These regulations ensure that hens have continuous access to the great outdoors in the daytime, which must be largely covered with vegetation. Here, they are free to forage for insects, worms, seeds, plants and grass for example.

There is a rising misconception that free range standards are very poor, however, this has been largely influenced by what constitutes “free range” in the US, which is a lot less strict than EU standards.

While some egg powders can contain anti-caking agents (also known as 'flow agents') like silicon dioxide, you can rest assured that ours is 100% whole egg.

Onyst Whole Food Protein is proudly made in the UK at a GMP and BRCGS certified facility. All ingredients are sourced from reputable suppliers within the UK or EU - where significantly stricter standards are enforced compared to elsewhere in the world.

Every single ingredient we use is rigorously tested and supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) before it makes its way into the mix. These tests cover key quality and safety markers, including things like heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiological contaminants.

Once the ingredients reach our GMP-certified facility in the UK, these test results are reviewed again before production begins. This “double-check” system ensures full traceability and compliance with the strict manufacturing standards set by the aforementioned accreditations.

As we are a relatively young brand, we don’t currently issue customer-facing CoAs for each batch due to the cost and logistics involved, however, this is something we are working to introduce ASAP.

In short: real ingredients, thoroughly tested, responsibly sourced, and carefully made - just as it should be.

We have good news ... whole egg in powdered form still remains incredibly nutrient-dense, with the vast majority of its essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids well-preserved.

Research published in Frontiers in Nutrition (Pirkwieser et al., 2022) confirms that all key minerals and trace elements, including magnesium, calcium, selenium etc, are fully retained (100%), while essential amino acids - including the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) crucial for muscle recovery - stay impressively high:

• Leucine: 95% retained
• Valine: 94% retained
• Isoleucine: 94% retained

Fat-soluble vitamins and antioxidants also hold strong:

• Vitamin A: 86% retained
• Vitamin D: 85% retained
• Vitamin E: 100% retained
• Lutein (antioxidant): 100% retained

While there is a slight reduction in Omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid, (61% retained), the overall fat content remains stable, keeping the egg’s natural nutritional profile largely the same.

Finally, vitamins B1, B6 and B12 essentially remain intact, whilst vitamin B2 has a slight reduction of 20%.

The Bottom Line?

Whole egg is often referred to as 'nature's multivitamin', and even in powdered form, it keeps nearly all of its natural goodness. That’s exactly why we include it in our protein blend - it delivers real, whole-food nutrition, packed with high-quality protein and essential micronutrients, in a quick and convenient way.

The optimum benefits of Onyst Whole Food Protein come from consistent, long term use and this is how most of our customers choose to consume it.

For this reason, we chose to offer a subscribe and save feature where you can replenish your pouch automatically whilst saving a significant amount of money on each purchase compared to a one time purchase.

We generally recommend using the product consistently for at least 2 months to see the results when fully integrated into your lifestyle & routine!

As life is unpredictable, we've made sure you can pause, edit or cancel your subscription at any time via our website - sort of a no brainer really.

First and foremost, we love honey - it’s an incredible food, rich in natural sweetness and nutrients. But when exploring honey in it's powdered form, we found most options were blended with additives like maltodextrin, and pure honey powder was so rare and expensive that it would have made our Whole Food Protein unaffordable for many.

Coconut nectar was the perfect solution. Sustainably tapped from coconut palms and gently heated to crystallisation, it remains completely pure in its sugar form, preserving its natural vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals.

With a subtle caramel-like sweetness and a low glycemic index of 35, it enhances flavour whilst keeping blood sugar levels steady compared to refined sugars.

Plus, the Food and Agriculture Organisation have declared it as the 'single most sustainable sweetener in the world'!

To understand what 'beef protein' is / how it is made, it's good to start by thinking about how you make bone broth. You chuck leftover bones in water and slowly simmer it over time to extract the nutrients, collagen, and gelatine. Our beef protein is similar, but with one key difference: we also use muscle meat along with the bones. This ensures that the protein is not only complete, providing all nine essential amino acids, but also rich in the collagen and gelatine found in bone broth - so you get the best of both worlds!

Just like with bone broth, the process involves slowly boiling the meat and bones with nothing but water to extract the protein, collagen, and gelatine, which are then carefully dried into a powder. This is done using no chemicals or enzymes, just a slow, low-heat method that preserves both the macro and micronutrients. The result is a pure, clean beef protein isolate.

As Onyst Whole Food Protein is best taken daily, we opted for a 30 serving bag. This means you can purchase a pouch for every month, or if you would rather take it every other day, a pouch every two months.

Onyst is made from real, whole food ingredients, which are naturally rich in a variety of nutrients that help to support a healthy pregnancy and post-partum. As one of the very few nutritional blend / protein powder options available with strictly no additives, many women choose to take it during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

With that being said, we always recommend checking with your healthcare provider beforehand just to be sure.
