CAN-WHEY is a high-quality protein made entirely from Canadian dairy and is the first protein powder of its kind ever approved by the Dairy Farmers of Canada's 'Blue Cow Logo' program. (The Blue Cow Logo guarantees that CAN-WHEY is made with 100% Canadian dairy ingredients sourced from Canadian dairies that meet the DFC's strict standards for quality and sustainability.) It delivers everything you know protein delivers. And the taste is simply amazing - more like a classic milkshake than any other protein you may have tried!

Why did we make CAN-WHEY?

For over 30 years in the industry, our family-owned BC based company has crafted products with care. CAN-WHEY is our proudest innovation -- made, sourced, and packaged entirely in Canada. It's creamy protein that fuels your day and supports local communities with every scoop. Because Canada deserved better: a protein made here at home. That's how CAN-WHEY was born.

Why Choose Canadian-made protein?

CAN-WHEY is made from 100% Canadian dairy, certified by the Dairy Farmers of Canada, and proudly powered by PVL --- a legacy Canadian brand known for high-performance nutrition. With Informed Choice certification, every scoop meets gold-standard quality and safety benchmarks. That means better traceability, trusted production, and real support for local farms and communities. If you're looking for the best Canadian protein powder, we're proud to say: this is it.

What makes CAN-WHEY different from other protein powders?

CAN-WHEY is the first protein powder made entirely in Canada --- from sourcing to packaging. It's a 100% Canadian protein, crafted without added sugar, and triple-certified for quality you can trust. We've also added chromium, vitamin B6, and B12 to support blood sugar balance and satiety, with naturally high levels of calcium and potassium in every scoop. And the best part? It tastes as smooth and creamy as a milkshake.

Who should use CAN-WHEY?

There are so many daily uses for CAN-WHEY, it can be used by anyone looking to add Canadian protein to their daily eating routine. And for those who just want a better-tasting protein, our creamy, milkshake-inspired flavours deliver. No matter what your reason or your activity level is, protein is an essential for maintaining a healthy body. Made from 100% Canadian dairy, CAN-WHEY also provides a natural source of calcium to help build strong bones - offering a double benefit in every scoop.

When should I take CAN-WHEY?

Anytime. Many people start their day with a CAN-WHEY morning smoothie, use it after exercise to help recover, or blend it up into a shake midday between lunch and dinner to curb hunger so that they don't binge at dinner time. Our general advice? Aim to fuel your body every 4--5 hours. If there's a long gap in your day, that's the perfect time for a protein boost. Whether it's in the morning, post-gym, or as a satisfying midday shake --- the best time to enjoy CAN-WHEY is when it fits your routine.

Is CAN-WHEY safe to use every day?

Yes, CAN-WHEY is made with 100% Canadian dairy and only food-based ingredients you can trust. It contains no banned substances and no unnecessary additives --- just premium protein and nutrients your body recognizes. CAN-WHEY is not a drug or medication --- it's real food, designed to support your daily nutrition. As with any supplement, always read the label and check with your healthcare provider to ensure it's right for you.

Does CAN-WHEY contain lactose? Is it easy to digest?

Yes, CAN-WHEY contains a small amount of naturally occurring lactose, as it's made from high-quality, less-processed Canadian dairy. This helps preserve native milk proteins like immunoglobulins, which support immune function. Thanks to our ultra-filtration process and formulation without added sugars, CAN-WHEY is easier to digest than many traditional whey protein powders, even for those who are mildly lactose sensitive. If you can comfortably drink half to one cup of milk, you'll likely do well with the minor amount of lactose in CAN-WHEY.

Can I use CAN-WHEY if I don't work out?

Yes absolutely! CAN-WHEY is a smart option for anyone looking to support energy, fullness, or general health - whether or not you exercise. Compare its nutrition - each scoop is only about 130 calories but is rich in protein, calcium, potassium yet is low in junk. These 130 calories deliver the nutrition that everybody wants more of.

Do you test for heavy metals?

Yes. Every product we make is tested to meet both Health Canada (CFIA) and U.S. FDA safety standards for heavy metals. We source over 500 ingredients from more than 20 countries, so we never rely on assumptions about safety — we rely on testing. Each ingredient and finished product goes through rigorous Quality Control checks, including: Microbiological tests (for mold, yeast, salmonella, E. coli, and bacteria) Heavy metal testing (for lead, mercury, cadmium, and others) For certain ingredients, like whey protein, we go even further — testing for listeria, a rare but serious pathogen. In addition, many of our products also undergo third-party verification such as Informed Choice testing for banned substances, ingredient identity, potency, and protein accuracy. Our goal is simple: to ensure every product is safe, clean, and compliant, no matter where its ingredients come from.

Clean, Smooth & Easy On The Stomach

I bought CAN-WHEY Protein Powder a few weeks ago, and I'm happy with the purchase. I'm usually picky with whey protein, but the clean, simple ingredients, low sugar and use of Canadian milk really stood out. It mixes easily with no clumps, and the taste is smooth and creamy, just like a vanilla milkshake. There's no chalky texture or bitter aftertaste, which makes it very easy and enjoyable to drink. It's also gentle on the stomach, a big plus for anyone who experiences bloating with whey. I appreciate that it contains no gums, fillers, or artificial colours. Overall, this is a high quality, clean protein powder at a great price.
