Collection: Protein

Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones. If you are not getting the amount of protein you need from your regular diet, a protein supplement can help you top up your intake. It can be particularly useful when you want to support muscle growth, keep track of your protein intake whilst losing weight, or simply get more protein during the day.

When choosing a product, focus primarily on the source of protein, the amount per serving, the ingredients and how well the specific product suits you.

What should you know before choosing?

1

Which protein should I choose?

If you exercise recreationally and need to simply top up your protein intake, whey concentrate will probably be sufficient. If you want a higher protein content and less lactose, consider isolate. Before a longer period without food, casein or a blend containing it may suit you. If you avoid milk proteins, choose plant-based protein.

Are you new to protein supplements and have no reason to limit lactose or milk proteins? Try a smaller pack of whey concentrate first. You can find out whether you like the taste and tolerate it well without digestive problems.

2

How much protein is in one serving?

To compare products, check the protein content per 100 g and then the amount per serving that you will actually use. The weight of the powder is not the same as the amount of protein – the product may also contain flavourings, sweeteners or other ingredients.

For people who exercise, approximately 20–40 g of protein per serving is used as a rough guide, not 20–40 g of powder. This amount also includes protein from food or milk used to prepare the drink.

3

What should you check in the ingredients and allergens list?

Check all protein sources and other ingredients in the product. A multi-ingredient protein blend may contain, for example, milk, egg or soya proteins. If you are lactose intolerant, an isolate with a lower lactose content may suit you, but this always depends on the specific product and your individual tolerance.

Lactose intolerance is not the same as an allergy to milk proteins. If you are allergic to milk proteins, whey proteins, casein and whey isolate are not suitable.

4

When should you drink a protein shake?

Include it when you need to top up your protein intake – for example, at breakfast, between meals or after training. Your total daily intake is more important than the exact time.

If you get enough protein from regular meals around your workout, a post-workout shake is not essential.

How do the different types of protein differ?

Whey concentrate

A rapidly digestible milk protein, which may be sufficient for general protein supplementation and recreational exercise. Check the nutrition table for the protein content of the specific product.

Whey isolate

Compared with concentrate, it generally has a higher protein content and less lactose. It may suit you if you are looking for a more concentrated source of protein or need to limit lactose. Check the label for the specific content.

Whey hydrolysate

The proteins are broken down into shorter chains and are usually absorbed more quickly. It tends to be more expensive than concentrate and isolate; however, it is not essential for regular recreational exercise.

Casein

A milk protein that is digested more slowly and amino acids are released gradually. It is therefore often used before bedtime, when the body goes without food for a longer period. It can help top up your protein intake overnight if your total daily intake falls short.

Plant-based protein

An alternative for vegans and those who avoid milk proteins. It is produced, for example, from soya, peas, hemp or rice. A combination of several plant sources may be beneficial because their amino acid profiles complement one another.

Multi-ingredient protein

It combines multiple protein sources, such as milk, whey and egg protein. Depending on its composition, it may combine faster- and slower-digesting components. It is another option for topping up your protein intake during the day; choose based on the specific blend, the amount of protein per serving and how well you tolerate it.
