Protein Powders Buying Guide
Here are some things to look for when deciding which protein powder to buy.
Ingredients
To get the most out of your protein, look for a protein powder with added BCAAs and L-Glutamine to promote muscle repair, reduce post-workout soreness, and accelerate your recovery process. If your goal is weight management, you may benefit from a protein with a thermogenic blend like our Shred Protein. Scientific research backs each purposeful ingredient in our protein range.
Dosage
Opt for a supplement that clearly states the recommended daily dosage. Always remember to consult with your health professional before adding a supplement to your diet or if you experience any unwanted symptoms. It’s also important to note that some of our protein powders aren’t suitable for children under 15 years of age or pregnant women. Please read the warning label and follow the recommended daily dosage outlined for each product, which can be found in the Product Information.

It’s worth investing in a high-quality, trusted product for optimal results. You know what they say — you get what you pay for.
Taste
While it may not be the most important factor, you should like the taste of a product, especially if you’re having it regularly. At BSc, we offer a variety of delicious flavours, including Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Lime, Peach Iced Tea and more. Just add to cold water, your smoothie, or your favourite drink.
Additional Benefits
Some protein powders may offer additional benefits to muscle recovery and growth, such as improved energy production and enhanced training performance. You should consider what benefits you’re looking for and choose a product that best suits your needs.
Packaging
Look for packaging that’s easy to use, store, and recycle. Our protein powders come in convenient tubs and resealable bags that are easy to reseal and stand up on their own. Not only will your products stay fresh, but their packaging will also prove easy to store, recycle, and reuse.
By considering these factors, we hope you can make an informed decision when buying protein powders.
