Overview

Designs for Health PaleoMeal delivers 27g of protein per serving from grass-fed beef protein isolate (HydroBEEF) plus a comprehensive vitamin and mineral blend, making it a true meal replacement rather than just a protein powder. Designs for Health is a practitioner-exclusive brand — meaning it's only sold through healthcare practitioners and select online retailers. The formula is designed for elimination diets, autoimmune protocols, and functional medicine patients.
