Genesee vs. Onnit
Genesee + Onnit: How the Bar Slot Fits the Ancestral Stack
Onnit built the ancestral-fitness ecosystem — kettlebells, Alpha BRAIN, MCT, the broader meat-eater stack. We respect what they did. The protein-bar slot inside that stack is where Genesee picks up: 21g of complete protein on grass-finished bison tallow, no soy isolate, no seed oils.

If you already eat ancestral, run kettlebells, and trust the Onnit ecosystem, Genesee is the bar slot in that stack — not a replacement for the ecosystem itself. Their protein bar checks some boxes; ours checks the next set: bison tallow as the energy fat, milk + egg-white protein instead of isolate, no seed oils.

Frequently asked
What makes bison tallow different?
Bison were grass- and forage-finished on open range for 200,000 years. Their fat carries a fatty-acid profile shaped by that range, not by a feedlot corn-and-soy diet. It's closer to what humans ancestrally adapted to burn than any seed oil.
