Is your protein
working against you?

Most protein powders promise an easy protein boost. But many come with the bloating, fillers, artificial sweeteners, or heavy feeling you were trying to avoid.

WHEY PROTEIN

The bloat you've learned to accept

Dairy-based protein can feel heavy or uncomfortable for many people, especially when used every day.

COLLAGEN PEPTIDES

More processed than you'd think

Collagen peptides are made by breaking collagen down through hydrolysis into small, uniform fragments. Helpful for skin, but it's a heavily processed isolate, not a whole food.

PLANT PROTEIN

Good intentions, rough on the gut

Often gritty, earthy, or harder to digest, and not always the clean, enjoyable daily habit people hoped for.

HEWN was made for people who wanted a cleaner, gentler protein they could actually look forward to using every day.

The modern gap

What your body quietly loses

Two things that slip as we age, and a whole-food way to put them back.

~30%

of your natural collagen can be gone by your 50s, as production drops about 1% a year from your mid-20s.1

Collagen is what keeps your skin firm, joints cushioned, and hair and nails strong.

of adults had a digestive symptom, like bloating or abdominal pain, in the past week.2

And the dairy and fillers in most protein powders can add to that heavy, bloated feeling.

A message from our founder

Why bone broth protein might be the missing piece.

Beckie Carter, founder of HEWN

Beckie Carter

Founder, hewn.

Most protein powders only solve half the problem. You hit your grams, but still feel bloated and heavy, and wonder why your skin, gut and joints don't feel any more supported.

That's exactly why I went back to bone broth.

Why bone broth is different

Naturally collagen-rich. Supports skin, hair, nails and connective tissue.

Gut-loving amino acids. Glycine and proline help nourish your gut lining, joints and connective tissue.

A whole food, not an isolate. Gentle and easy to digest, with nothing stripped or synthetic.

More than just protein.
A whole-food-inspired daily ritual.

That's why I created HEWN, a cleaner, gentler protein you can stir into coffee, blend into smoothies, and actually enjoy every day.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MODERN FOOD

Your gut is under siege.
Every single day.

Processed foods, hidden additives, and chemical preservatives are quietly eroding your gut lining, the foundation your entire health is built on.

When your gut is compromised, everything follows. Energy crashes. Brain fog. Poor sleep. Dull skin. Weakened immunity. It all starts in the gut.

Most people don't realise the damage until it's already affecting how they feel every day.

One scoop. Every morning.
The simplest thing you can do for your gut.

A daily serve of whole food bone broth protein gives your gut the nourishment it's been missing, naturally rich in the compounds that support your body's most important system.

Start your morning ritual →

NOT A SUPPLEMENT. REAL FOOD.

Protein the way nature intended.

Bone broth protein isn't made in a lab or chemically extracted.
It's bones, water, and time - slow-simmered the way it's been done for centuries, then carefully dried into a powder you can use every day.

"But I already buy bone broth from the supermarket."

Those cartons in the fridge aisle? They're mostly water.
Here's what you're actually getting — and what you're actually paying for.

STORE-BOUGHT LIQUID

~3g

protein per serve

Mostly water - you're paying for weight, not nutrition
You'd need 5+ serves daily to match one scoop of HEWN
$8-12 per carton adds up fast
Requires refrigeration, short shelf life once opened
Heavy, bulky, not portable
Often contains additives, preservatives, or "natural flavours"

BONE BROTH POWDER

15g

protein per single scoop - up to 5x more

Concentrated - water removed, nutrition preserved
One scoop delivers the full spectrum of benefits
Taste amazing, not like beef or chicken soup
From $3 per serve - a fraction of liquid cost
Shelf-stable for months, no fridge required
Throw it in your bag - use anywhere
Clean label - every ingredient you can Google and we do NOT use "natural" or "synthetic" flavours.

The maths: store-bought liquid gives you roughly 2-3g of protein per serve. One scoop of hewn. gives you 15g - up to 5x more protein, concentrated into a single scoop. Same ancestral goodness. No water weight, no fridge, no waste.

Two delicious ways to enjoy it.

Two real-food flavours, each made to be the best part of your morning. Find the one that's right for you.

BECKIE - FRIENDLY, APPROACHABLE

Beckie Carter

Founder, hewn.

What does bone broth protein actually taste like?

Nothing like traditional bone broth. Our Velvet Cacao tastes like chocolate, Silk Nectar Vanilla is smooth sweet vanilla. Every flavour is made with real food ingredients, no artificial taste, no aftertaste.

How do I use it?

One scoop, once a day. Stir it into hot or cold drinks (coffee, milk, milk alternatives, water), blend it into smoothies, or whisk it into porridge or yoghurt.

Most people have it as part of their morning routine — but there's no wrong time. It's caffeine free (except Creamy Latte, which uses real coffee) so you can enjoy it any time of day.

Is it a complete protein?

Not in the technical sense — and that's by design.

A "complete" protein contains all nine essential amino acids in sufficient amounts, like whey, egg, or soy. Bone broth protein is naturally lower in two of them (tryptophan and methionine), which means most people already get plenty of from other foods in their day — eggs, meat, fish, dairy.

Where bone broth protein really shines is in the amino acids that are rare in other proteins — glycine, proline, and glutamine. These are the compounds your gut, skin, joints, and connective tissue rely on, and they're abundant in HEWN at levels you simply won't get from whey or plant proteins.

So think of HEWN as the protein that fills in what modern diets miss — not a replacement for everything, but the piece most women's nutrition is missing.

What's the difference between this and collagen peptides?

Two big things: how it's made, and what's in it.

Collagen peptides are made by chemically processing animal hides until the collagen is broken down into uniform, short fragments. It's effective for skin and hair, but it's a single isolated molecule, processed to its smallest form for fast absorption.

HEWN is bone broth — slow-simmered the way it's been made for centuries, then gently dried. That difference matters in two ways:

You get the full spectrum of proteins, not just one fragment.
Real bone broth contains proteins of varied lengths and structures, the way nature made them. Your digestive system recognises this — it's how whole food works. Collagen peptides give you one molecular size; HEWN gives you the whole spectrum.

You get the compounds collagen peptides leave behind.
Real bone broth naturally contains glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) — including chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid. These are the same family of compounds found in your gut lining, your joints, and the connective tissue under your skin. Collagen peptides have these processed out. Whey and plant proteins don't have them at all.

The simplest way to think about it: collagen peptides are an isolate. HEWN is the whole food.

Why don't you use natural flavours?

Because "natural flavours" isn't what most people think it is. The term covers a huge range of lab-made flavour compounds that are technically derived from natural sources but processed beyond recognition using solvents, chemicals, and isolating agents. They're cheap, shelf-stable, and look great on a label.

We don't use them because the whole point of HEWN is that it's real food. Velvet Cacao is flavoured with real cacao. Silk Nectar Vanilla with real vanilla bean. Every flavour is made the way you'd make it at home with actual ingredients, not lab approximations of them.

It costs more. It's harder to manufacture. But it's the difference between a protein your gut recognises and one it doesn't.

Is it gluten free / dairy free?

Yes to both. HEWN bone broth protein is naturally gluten free and dairy free. The only ingredients are grass-fed New Zealand bone broth, real food flavourings (cacao, vanilla bean, coffee), and a small amount of monk fruit for sweetness. That's it.

Is it safe during pregnancy / breastfeeding?

HEWN is made from real food ingredients with no artificial additives, so it's broadly safe, but as with any dietary change during pregnancy or breastfeeding, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider first. Many women in our community use HEWN throughout pregnancy and postpartum, but everyone's situation is different.

What if I don't like it?

We back every order with a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you try it and it's not for you — for any reason — we'll refund you in full. No questions, no return required, no hassle.

We're confident enough in HEWN to put our money where our mouth is. Most women feel a difference within the first two weeks; if you don't, we want your money back in your pocket.

The Catch

Bone broth is incredible. Making it yourself? Not so much.

The Catch

Bone broth is incredible. Making it yourself? Not so much.

If bone broth is so good, why isn't everyone drinking it? Because the traditional version comes with some serious drawbacks.

24+ hours of simmering to extract the good stuff properly
Your kitchen smells like bones for days
Inconsistent nutrition - every batch is different
Sourcing quality bones is surprisingly hard
Only lasts a few days in the fridge
Let's be honest - most people try it once and don't make it again
