Protein is made up of chains of 20 different amino acids, split into 9 essential amino acids, which cannot be made by the body and need to be eaten from food and 11 non-essential amino acids which the body can make.

Why is protein important for you?

Protein is an essential nutrient that we can’t live without it. We are literally made of protein, you need it for healthy skin, hair, nails, organs, bones, and muscle, it supports our movement, feeds your immune system and so much more.

Whey protein will make me bulky?

False. This is totally untrue, your genetics and your strength training programme dictates how much muscle you build, protein only supports this training.

Whey protein is bad for my health?

False. There is absolutely no evidence that whey protein causes any negative health effects in healthy adults. Remember, whey protein comes from cheese making and is a food.

Love my whey

True it is that this remains as gold standard in offering nutritional balance through optimum standard powdered whey protein bound. Just mix with milk with scoop one of this powder for excellent result. It taste great and provide much needed sustenance throughout day much time after serving. Thank you very much.

Doesn't Taste Horrible!

Great product. Tried many protein shakes in the past and all you had that distinct protein taste to them. This however is masked well with the flavour you can't taste so much.

Too sweet but dissolves well

Pros: dissolves almost instantly without mixing, not at all chalky Cons: insanely sweet syntheticy taste. I normally love sweet things but this needs a bit of cocoa to tone it down a bit to make it edible. Has a veryyyy mild whey taste

Improved Recovery Time and Muscle Growth

Taste - One of the nicer chocolate protein shakes I’ve tried on the market Recovery - Compared to other products, I’ve noticed recovery has improved massively and I’ve tried a few (down from 2-3 days to 1 day). Best example of this is leg day. Muscle Growth - Sort of goes hand in hand with recovery but definitely noticed muscle growth has improved since taken this protein. Price - Fairly priced considering you get 10 shakes out of it (if compared to the ready made ones).

Hochwertiges Protein mit sehr gutem Geschmack

Ich bin mit diesem Protein sehr zufrieden. Es löst sich hervorragend auf und bildet keine Klümpchen. Der Geschmack ist angenehm und nicht übermäßig süß. Ich nutze es, um meinen täglichen Proteinbedarf zu decken, und es sorgt für ein gutes Sättigungsgefühl. Außerdem ist es sehr gut verträglich und verursacht keine Verdauungsprobleme. Die Qualität ist ausgezeichnet und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt ebenfalls. Ich werde es definitiv wieder kaufen und kann es uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
