Protein Supplements

Protein supplements fill dietary gaps when whole food isn't practical. Look for at least 20g protein per serving, minimal added sugars, and a third-party tested brand. Whey is fastest absorbing; plant protein suits dairy-free diets.

Aim for 1.6–2.2g protein per kg of bodyweight daily from all sources combined

Third-party testing (Informed Sport) verifies the label is accurate — important for competitive athletes

Unflavoured versions mix into food without affecting taste
