Key actives per serving
- Whey protein isolate: 25 g
- Leucine: 2.2 g (typical per serving)
- Isoleucine: 1.2 g (typical per serving)
- Valine: 1.2 g (typical per serving)
- Bromelain and papain (proprietary blend): 30 mg (blend total)
How to take
Mix 1 scoop once daily with at least 8 ounces of water, juice, or your preferred beverage; taking with a meal or snack can be comfortable for digestion, and protein powders often blend well in smoothies.
Diet / Allergen fit
Gluten Free. Contains: Milk (from whey).
Ingredients explained
Whey protein isolate
Provides a complete, rapidly absorbed amino acid profile that supplies essential building blocks for muscle protein synthesis and post-exercise recovery.
Caution: Contains milk-derived proteins; avoid if you have a dairy allergy or sensitivity.
Leucine
Acts as a key trigger for muscle protein synthesis through activation of mTOR signaling in muscle cells.
Caution: High single-amino-acid intake on an empty stomach may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people.
Isoleucine
Serves as a branched-chain amino acid that can be used by muscles during activity and supports protein building.
Caution: Excess isolated BCAAs without balanced protein intake may not provide added benefit.
Valine
Functions as a branched-chain amino acid that participates in muscle energy use and protein formation.
Caution: May cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals if taken without food.
Bromelain and papain (proprietary blend)
Proteolytic enzymes that help break down protein into smaller peptides and amino acids for easier digestion.
Caution: People allergic to pineapple or papaya should avoid due to potential cross-reactivity.
How they work together
Whey protein isolate supplies fast-digesting, complete protein while leucine, isoleucine, and valine provide key essential amino acids that directly drive muscle protein synthesis. Bromelain and papain support protein breakdown in the gut, which may aid tolerance and absorption of the protein dose.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Pregnant individuals should consult a health-care practitioner before use. California Proposition 65: Exposure to chemicals, including lead, may occur and is associated with birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Who should be cautious: People with milk allergies or lactose intolerance may react to whey-derived ingredients. Those sensitive to bromelain or papain should use caution. Individuals monitoring sodium, cholesterol, or sugar intake may wish to review the Supplement Facts.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
