How it works

Complete amino acid profile with high leucine content, the primary trigger for muscle protein synthesis. Rapidly absorbed post-exercise, maximising the anabolic window.

What to look for

Minimum 20–25g protein per serve, low sugar (under 5g per serve). Whey concentrate is fine for most; isolate if you are lactose sensitive. Third-party tested (Informed Sport or NSF certified). Avoid proprietary blends.
