Equip Foods
Equip Foods is a grass-fed beef protein and real-food supplement brand headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida. Its flagship product, Prime Protein, is a grass-fed beef protein isolate that is dairy-free — a whey-free, casein-free, lactose-free protein alternative for Paleo, keto, and carnivore-adjacent shoppers. The catalog centers on bovine-derived nutrition (protein, collagen, colostrum, and desiccated beef liver) built mostly around single-ingredient formulas; one line, Prime Bar, uses a named three-ingredient blend rather than a single ingredient. Equip also sells a whole-fruit carbohydrate powder and a specialty coffee, and names Light Labs as its third-party testing lab, with testing results described as available on product pages or by request.
Equip Foods is a beef/bovine-centric "real-food" supplement brand best known for its grass-fed beef protein isolate — a dairy-free, whey-free alternative for Paleo, keto, and carnivore-adjacent shoppers — with mostly single-ingredient formulas across a small, focused catalog of protein, collagen, colostrum, and organ-nutrition products.
Equip Foods (Equip Foods LLC) is best suited to Paleo, ketogenic, and carnivore-adjacent shoppers who want a dairy-free, whey-free protein alternative built from grass-fed beef, alongside a small line of related bovine products — collagen, colostrum, and desiccated beef liver — for buyers who prefer nose-to-tail animal nutrition over multi-ingredient blends. Six Equip Foods products are available to browse on this page — specialty coffee, beef protein powder, collagen peptides, beef liver capsules, colostrum gummies, and a whole-fruit carbohydrate powder — sold on Amazon alongside the brand's own site, with Amazon review counts ranging from about 70 to over 2,000 per product. Most of these lines center on a single dominant ingredient with no blend naming; a separate line not among the 6 browsable here, Prime Bar, does use a named three-ingredient blend. Equip names Light Labs as its third-party testing lab and states testing results are available on product pages or by request — a company-described program, not one independently confirmed in this research.
Catalog at a glance
This page covers 6 Equip Foods products available to browse across 6 categories, making it practical to compare options and cover several supplement needs from one brand.
Why shoppers choose Equip Foods
Grass-Fed Beef Protein
Prime Protein is Equip's flagship and most-reviewed product on this page (2,076 reviews), built from grass-fed beef protein isolate as a dairy-free, whey-free alternative for shoppers avoiding lactose or casein, with a single-dominant-ingredient label rather than a named blend.
See ranked picks in this category →Collagen Peptides
Grass-Fed Collagen carries the highest customer rating among the 6 products on this page (4.8 stars, 118 reviews) and, like Prime Protein, lists collagen peptides as its single dominant ingredient rather than a named blend.
See ranked picks in this category →Colostrum (Gummy Format)
Core Colostrum Gummies package bovine colostrum in a gummy format — an alternative to powder or capsule colostrum products for shoppers who want an easier daily format — with 94 reviews at 4.6 stars.
See ranked picks in this category →Organ / Whole-Food Nutrient Density
Grass-Fed Beef Liver Capsules tie for the highest customer rating on this page (4.8 stars, 114 reviews), giving shoppers interested in whole-food organ nutrition a capsule format that avoids the strong taste associated with liver.
See ranked picks in this category →Who it's best for
Best for
- Paleo, ketogenic, and carnivore-adjacent shoppers who want a dairy-free, whey-free protein alternative built from grass-fed beef
- Buyers who prefer mostly single-ingredient formulas over multi-ingredient blends — most sampled Equip lines center on one dominant ingredient
- Shoppers interested in nose-to-tail bovine nutrition — protein, collagen, colostrum, and organ-meat capsules from one brand
- Buyers comfortable with a company-named testing lab and results available on product pages or by request, rather than publicly downloadable Certificates of Analysis
Good to know before you choose
- You want Paleo Foundation or Keto Certified registry certification — Equip's diet-fit claims are brand-declared descriptors, not third-party certifications
- You're highly sensitive to any independently-reported trace heavy-metal findings and want an uncontested test history — an independent Consumer Reports test found lead in one flavor of Equip's flagship protein, which the brand disputes with its own newer results (see purchase considerations)
- You want registry-confirmed third-party certification such as NSF Certified for Sport or Non-GMO Project Verified — none was found for any Equip Foods product in this research
- You want publicly downloadable, per-batch Certificates of Analysis rather than results available on product pages or by request
Pricing & value
Equip Foods prices at a premium relative to typical mass-market protein and collagen powders — a tradeoff for shoppers who want grass-fed bovine sourcing and mostly single-ingredient formulas rather than the lowest price point in the category.

Quality & transparency details
Named third-party testing lab (Light Labs)
Brand-wideCompany-reportedEquip Foods names Light Labs as its third-party testing lab, describing it as "ISO-accredited" — the company's own characterization, not independently confirmed in this research. The company states testing covers heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead), microplastics/BPA/BPS, pesticides/glyphosate, mycotoxins/molds, and microbiological pathogens. Consumer Reports separately noted Equip among nine brands that told CR they test both ingredients and finished products for heavy metals — this corroborates that Equip makes the claim, not that CR independently confirmed the results.
Label transparency: mostly single-ingredient formulas, one disclosed blend
Specific productsLabel-documentedIn a sample covering 6 of the brand's roughly 8 core product lines, Prime Protein, Grass-Fed Collagen, and Core Colostrum each center on a single dominant ingredient with no blend naming. One line, Prime Bar (not among the 6 products browsable on this page), names an "Equip Grass Fed Protein Blend" of three sub-ingredients (beef protein isolate, collagen peptides, bovine colostrum) under one combined blend weight rather than individually quantified amounts — all three sub-ingredients are named, but not separately dosed.
Testing results described as available on product pages or by request
Brand-wideAvailable by requestEquip's own Testing Transparency page states that "testing results are available on our product display pages or by request at hello@equipfoods.com" — a direct company statement about its own process. This research did not test fulfillment by submitting a request, and no publicly-posted, downloadable, per-batch Certificate of Analysis was found during product-page sampling.
Beef-protein manufacturing process described as mechanical/thermal only
Product lineCompany-reportedEquip describes its beef-protein isolate production as crushing and defatting beef bones/meat, slow-cooking in water similar to bone broth, then spray-drying — stating no chemical solvents are used. This is a company description of the protein-isolate production method specifically; the brand's other product lines (for example, capsule or gummy products) use different processes not covered by this description.
Our evaluation criteria
Equip Foods names Light Labs as its third-party testing lab, describing it as "ISO-accredited" — the company's own characterization, not independently confirmed in this research. The company states testing covers heavy metals, microplastics, pesticides/glyphosate, mycotoxins, and microbiological pathogens. Consumer Reports separately noted Equip among nine brands that told CR they test both ingredients and finished products for heavy metals — corroboration that Equip makes this claim, not that CR independently confirmed the results.
Falsified by Prime Bar's label (a line not among the 6 products browsable on this page), which names an "Equip Grass Fed Protein Blend" (beef protein isolate, collagen peptides, bovine colostrum) — three sub-ingredients named together under one combined blend weight, not individually quantified. This is 1 product in a 6-of-roughly-8-core-line sample; the others sampled — including Prime Protein (3 ingredients) and the single-dominant-ingredient Grass-Fed Collagen and Core Colostrum — are fully disclosed with no blend naming.
Label-read doses on sampled products — for example, Prime Protein delivers 21g of protein per serving from beef isolate. This reflects what sampled labels state, not a systematic comparison against the clinical-dosing literature for every ingredient across the catalog.
Equip's own Testing Transparency page states that "testing results are available on our product display pages or by request at hello@equipfoods.com" — a direct company statement. This research did not test fulfillment by submitting a request, and no publicly-posted, per-batch Certificate of Analysis was found during sampling of product pages.
What to check before buying
Independent lead test vs. brand's counter-testing (Prime Protein, Chocolate flavor)
Consumer Reports' October 2025 independent test of 23 protein powders found lead in Equip's Prime Protein (Chocolate flavor) at 144% of CR's own "level of concern" per serving; CR's own rating for this result was "okay to eat occasionally," with a suggested limit of about 4.75 servings per week — CR's framing, not this site's. Equip disputes the finding, noting CR tested 2024-era lots against California's Prop 65 standard, and reports its own September 2025 counter-testing (via its named lab, Light Labs) showing 11.15 ppb lead in current Chocolate and under 1.96 ppb in current Unflavored — a company-reported response. The two tests differ in date, lot, flavor, and reference standard and are not directly reconcilable from the sources available; this is not presented here as either a finding of concerning lead levels or as proof the product is clean.
Limited independent certification footprint
This research found no independent registry-confirmed certification for Equip Foods products — no Non-GMO Project Verified or NSF Certified for Sport listing was located for any product, and no BBB profile specific to this brand could be located (a search-method limitation, not confirmation of absence). The testing and results-on-request claims described above are company statements, not independently registry-confirmed.
What this research does not establish
- Research reflects a snapshot dated 2026-07-03; pricing, review counts, and registry/certification status change over time — re-verify specifics before relying on them.
- Several registries relevant to this brand (Non-GMO Project Product Finder, NSF Certified for Sport search, BBB's own site search) are interactive/JS-rendered tools that could not be directly queried in the underlying research; absence of a hit is reported as "not located via these methods," not proof of non-certification.
- No FDA warning letter, recall, FTC action, or class-action lawsuit specific to Equip Foods LLC was located; FDA/FTC archives and class-action aggregators are not fully name-searchable via the methods used, so this reflects "not located," not a certainty of a clean regulatory history.
- Founder identity, current leadership titles, and headquarters city all showed discrepancies between the brand's own materials and third-party sources during the underlying research; this profile excludes founder/leadership names and uses the brand's own legal-notice address for headquarters, consistent with site policy on unresolved corporate-history claims.
- Label-transparency findings cover 6 of the brand's roughly 8 core product lines sampled in the underlying research (a small catalog, but not fully exhaustive); flavor variants within each line were not separately audited, and no actual Supplement Facts panel image was reviewed for most products — findings rest on product-page marketing copy and, for one product, an independent crowd-sourced label transcription.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Equip Prime Protein made from?
What is Equip Prime Protein made from?
Equip Prime Protein is made from grass-fed beef protein isolate, marketed as dairy-free (no whey, casein, or lactose), soy-free, and gluten-free. The Chocolate flavor is described as a 3-ingredient formula (beef isolate, cocoa powder, stevia); the brand's own product page states ingredient counts of 1-9 depending on flavor. It is marketed as Paleo and keto-friendly — a brand-declared descriptor, not a third-party diet certification.
How does beef protein compare to whey protein?
How does beef protein compare to whey protein?
Beef protein isolate and whey protein are both complete proteins with similar essential amino acid profiles. Whey has a slightly higher leucine content and faster absorption rate, which gives it a marginal edge for acute post-workout muscle protein synthesis. Beef protein is the superior choice for those with dairy intolerance, lactose sensitivity, or following strict Paleo/carnivore protocols. Practical performance difference for most users is negligible.
Is Equip Foods good for keto and Paleo diets?
Is Equip Foods good for keto and Paleo diets?
Equip Foods markets several products as Paleo and keto-friendly — brand-declared descriptors reflecting the company's own formulation choices, not third-party Paleo Foundation or Keto Certified registry certifications. Prime Protein is dairy-free and grain-free. The brand's carbohydrate powder (Clean Carbs Superfood Powder) is a whole-fruit-and-honey blend intended for post-workout carbohydrate replenishment rather than a low-carb product — it is not itself keto-friendly, since it is a carbohydrate supplement by design.
Did Consumer Reports find lead in Equip Foods Prime Protein?
Did Consumer Reports find lead in Equip Foods Prime Protein?
Consumer Reports' October 2025 test of 23 protein powders found lead in Prime Protein's Chocolate flavor at 144% of CR's own "level of concern" per serving, rating it "okay to eat occasionally" (CR's framing). Equip disputes this, citing its own September 2025 counter-testing showing substantially lower current lead levels in both Chocolate and Unflavored. The two tests differ in date, lot, and reference standard and are not directly reconcilable — see purchase considerations for the full comparison.
Does Equip protein have a good taste?
Does Equip protein have a good taste?
Beef protein isolate has historically had a strong taste that limited its market. Equip's processing and flavoring approach results in a milder, more palatable protein powder than earlier beef isolates. Prime Protein carries 2,076 Amazon reviews at 4.5 stars, consistent with broadly positive customer feedback on taste and usability. The minimal-ingredient approach means texture is slightly grainier than whey — best mixed in a blender or shaker with other ingredients.
