Protein Powders

Yes, protein powder is a great way to support lean muscle muscle mass growth, recovery, and overall health. 

Protein is essential for repairing and building muscles, maintaining energy levels, and keeping you feeling fuller for longer, which can help with weight management. It’s not just for athletes—anyone with an active lifestyle or looking to increase protein intake can benefit. 

A high-quality protein powder provides a convenient way to meet your daily protein needs, especially for those with busy schedules. Choosing a scientifically formulated, clean protein supplement ensures you get the best results without unnecessary fillers or artificial additives.

The number of protein shakes you need daily depends on your goals, body composition, and activity level. If you're training regularly and maintaining muscle, one to two shakes a day is usually enough. 

For athletes, strength trainers, or those pushing their limits, three to four shakes daily can help fuel performance and recovery. Your protein intake should align with your lifestyle, training intensity, weight loss or muscle gain goals, and overall diet. 

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, so it's important to listen to your body. Take a look at our how many shakes a day blog post here.

Choosing the best protein powder depends on your fitness goals, dietary preferences, and ingredient requirements. 

If your goal is muscle growth and recovery, we recommend High Protein Powder or a high quality Whey Protein Powder. For those looking for a dairy-free alternative, a plant-based protein powder with natural sweeteners can provide similar muscle-supporting benefits. 

If fat loss and lean muscle maintenance are a priority, a thermogenic protein blend like BSc Shred Protein is an ideal choice. But remember, the best protein for you is one that aligns with your lifestyle, taste preferences, and fitness objectives.

Simply follow the directions on the label. For the appropriate serving of that particular protein, you might require one scoop or more.

Mix with 180-350 millilitres of water or milk, shake it in a shaker or stir it with a spoon, and your protein powder is ready to be consumed! 

We hope this buyer's guide can help you find the best protein powder for your needs and get you on track to achieving your health and physique goals!

For muscle gain, you need consistent calories, high protein and a formula that supports recovery.

BSc Nitrovol Mass Gainer is our most effective option for growth phases, delivering 424 calories per serve with quality protein, carbs, BCAAs and Glutamine. This combination helps support post-training recovery and gives your body the energy it needs to build over time.

Use it after training or as an extra meal during the day when you need more fuel.

If you prefer a lighter option, BSc Whey Protein and BSc High Protein are both strong choices for supporting muscle repair and hitting your protein target.

If your goal is weight loss or weight management, you need a protein powder that’s high in protein while lower in carbs and sugars.
