Who it may fit
Active adults seeking convenient daily protein or those with higher protein needs for training and recovery.
Key actives per serving
- Whey protein isolate: 25 g
- Leucine (from whey): 2.2 g (typical per serving)
- Isoleucine (from whey): 1.2 g (typical per serving)
- Valine (from whey): 1.2 g (typical per serving)
- Bromelain and papain (proteolytic enzymes): 30 mg proprietary blend
How to take
Mix 1 scoop once daily with at least 8 ounces of water, juice, or your preferred beverage; taking after workouts or with meals can be convenient, and protein powders often mix best in a shaker with cold liquid.
Diet / Allergen fit
Gluten Free. Contains: Milk (from whey).
Ingredients explained
Whey protein isolate
Provides complete essential amino acids, including leucine, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support post-exercise recovery.
Caution: Contains milk-derived proteins; avoid if you have a dairy allergy or sensitivity.
Leucine (from whey)
Acts as a key trigger for the mTOR pathway, which may signal muscle protein synthesis after exercise.
Caution: High single amino acid loads may cause stomach discomfort in some people; take with liquid and as directed.
Isoleucine (from whey)
Branched-chain amino acid that may be used by muscles during activity and supports protein synthesis.
Caution: Excessive intake of isolated amino acids may cause digestive upset; follow serving recommendations.
Valine (from whey)
Branched-chain amino acid that may aid muscle protein turnover and serve as an energy source during exercise.
Caution: May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in large amounts; use as part of balanced protein intake.
Bromelain and papain (proteolytic enzymes)
Proteolytic enzymes that may help break down dietary proteins into peptides and amino acids to support digestion.
Caution: People sensitive to pineapple or papaya should use caution due to potential allergenicity.
How they work together
Whey protein isolate supplies a concentrated source of essential amino acids, while the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine focus on signaling and substrates for muscle protein synthesis. The added proteolytic enzymes bromelain and papain may aid protein breakdown during digestion, supporting amino acid availability.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If pregnant, consult a healthcare practitioner before use. California Proposition 65 warning: exposure to chemicals, including lead, associated with birth defects or other reproductive harm. Tamper-evident: use only if sealed.
Who should be cautious: People with milk allergies or sensitivity to dairy, as the product contains an ingredient derived from milk. Individuals with known sensitivities to bromelain or papain should use caution. Those monitoring sugar intake may note added sugars.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
