Why aim for a higher protein intake?

When you lift weights or play a demanding sport several times a week, it is important to eat enough protein to optimize muscle recovery between workouts. But getting enough protein during a busy day is not always easy — that is where whey protein comes in.

A simple, fast source of protein

Whey protein delivers a large dose of protein, quickly. It is rich in amino acids, which are used to grow and repair muscle tissue, and for many other reactions in the body. Thanks to its composition and how it is made, it is easily absorbed, so your body gets fast access to nutrients after exercise.

Not just for bulking

Whey protein is mostly associated with muscle gain. Yet a protein-rich diet can also help you manage your appetite: a protein snack in the afternoon helps prevent cravings and sugary snacking.

How to fit it in

  • After training, mixed with water or milk.
  • At breakfast, in a smoothie or oatmeal.
  • As a snack between meals.

Give your body quality protein: our G23 protein, made from New Zealand whey, comes in five flavours. For an even more concentrated option, try G27 ISO isolate.
