Collection: Protein Powders

Protein Powders are designed to supplement your daily protein intake to reach your goals:
Goal (Muscle Building): 1.5-2g/kg body weight , 140g for the average 70kg man, 100g for the average 50kg lady.
Protein is recommended to be consumed in bouts of minimally 30-45g for muscle synthesis.


Protein Powders:


Whey: 

Fast-digesting protein usually consumed in the post-workout period.
Whey protein from cow's milk typically comes in these major forms:

  • Concentrates (WPC) have typically a low (but still significant) level of fat and cholesterol – they are 29%–89% protein by weight.
  • Isolates (WPI) are processed to remove the fat and lactose – they are 90%+ protein by weight. Like whey protein concentrates, whey protein isolates are mild to slightly milky in taste.
  • Hydrolysates (WPH) are whey proteins that are predigested and partially chemically processed (hydrolyzed) for the purpose of easier metabolizing, but their cost is generally higher. Highly hydrolysed whey may be less allergenic than other forms of whey.

In Summary:

Concentrates: Cheaper, usually has the same protein content/serving as its counterparts but might be slightly higher in calories. Would not be suitable for those with lactose intolerance.

Isolates: More expensive, slightly lower in calories, less allergenic and more tolerated by those with lactose intolerance.

Hydrolysates: Most expensive but best tolerated by those allergic to whey/lactose intolerant.

Casein:

 Slow-digesting micellar casein allows for the slow release of protein into the body, usually consumed by professionals before bedtime to optimise the protein absorption window. 

Vegan Proteins:

Pure or blends of protein sources such as soy, pea, and grain for those with dietary preferences/restrictions. Commonly criticised for having a lower bioavailability(amount of protein that actually enters the blood steam), they still remain the best alternative to those who are animal protein intolerant.
