Protein Powders

 

Protein Powder Collection: Detailed Description with Amino Acid Benefits & Whey Types Explained

Our protein collection includes Whey, Animal-Based, and Vegan powders, each offering a complete amino acid profile to support muscle repair, cellular function, and overall wellness. Available in 2 lb and 5 lb sizes, these formulas suit a wide range of training levels and dietary needs.


Whey Protein – Types and Functions

Whey is derived from milk during the cheese-making process and is one of the most bioavailable protein sources. There are three main forms of whey, each with distinct properties:

1. Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC)

  • Contains ~70–80% protein by weight

  • Retains small amounts of fats, carbohydrates, and lactose

  • Slower than isolate, providing a more sustained release

  • Contains naturally occurring peptides and immune-supporting compounds

Best for: General fitness, everyday use, and individuals who tolerate lactose
Digestion speed: Moderate
Benefit: Balanced release of amino acids; supports lean mass, immune health, and satiety


2. Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)

  • 90–95% protein by weight

  • Undergoes additional filtration to remove most fats and lactose

  • Very low in carbs and calories

  • Rapid absorption due to minimal processing

Best for: Post-workout recovery, weight management, lactose-sensitive users
Digestion speed: Fast
Benefit: Maximizes muscle protein synthesis shortly after training


3. Whey Protein Hydrolysate (WPH)

  • Pre-digested or partially hydrolyzed for faster absorption

  • Broken into smaller peptides (dipeptides/tripeptides)

  • May reduce allergenic potential and improve uptake speed

Best for: Athletes with intense recovery needs, sensitive digestion
Digestion speed: Fastest of all whey types
Benefit: Rapid delivery of amino acids; minimizes gastrointestinal stress


Total Amino Acid Profile & What Each Supports

All protein types in this collection deliver both Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) and Non-Essential/Conditionally Essential Amino Acids. These support:

Amino Acid Role in the Body
Leucine Triggers muscle protein synthesis (MPS)
Isoleucine Supports energy, hemoglobin, and glucose regulation
Valine Muscle tissue repair and mental focus
Lysine Collagen formation, calcium absorption
Methionine Detoxification, metabolism of fats
Threonine Gut health, immune system, elastin synthesis
Phenylalanine Neurotransmitter precursor (dopamine, epinephrine)
Tryptophan Serotonin production, sleep regulation
Histidine Histamine production, growth, and tissue repair
Glutamine Gut barrier function, immune support
Arginine Nitric oxide synthesis, blood flow enhancement
Proline Collagen synthesis, joint and skin health
Tyrosine Brain function, mood stability
Glycine Nervous system regulation, sleep, detox
Alanine Glucose transport, energy generation
Serine Cell membrane formation, fat metabolism
Aspartic Acid Cellular energy (Krebs cycle), neural activity
Glutamic Acid Brain signaling, ammonia detoxification
Cysteine Glutathione production, antioxidant defense
