Description
Evidence Tier · Randomized Controlled Trials
Whey protein isolate with natural vanilla flavor and stevia. Three ingredients.
What It Does
Supports muscle growth and maintenance.*
How It Works
Whey is rapidly digested and rich in leucine, the amino acid that triggers muscle protein synthesis.
Why This Form
Isolate rather than concentrate for lower lactose and fat. Three ingredients only.
Clinical Evidence
A meta-analysis of 49 randomized trials at McMaster University found protein supplementation increased gains in muscle mass and strength with resistance training.¹
What The Evidence Does Not Show
Benefits plateaued around 1.6 g of protein per kg of body weight per day in total diet. Protein powder is a convenience, not a requirement.
