FAQs

When is the best time to take this protein?

The most common times are immediately after a workout for recovery or in the morning to supplement your daily protein intake.

Can I mix this with milk instead of water?

Yes, mixing with milk or a milk alternative is fine, though it will increase the total calorie and sugar content of the drink.

Does this contain artificial sweeteners?

Yes, the product contains sweeteners to maintain its low-sugar profile while providing a consistent taste.

Is this product gluten-free?

While the ingredients are generally gluten-free, always check the specific label on your packaging for the most current allergen information.

How many servings are in the 780g tub?

A 780g tub typically provides approximately 22-25 servings depending on the precise scoop weight and serving density.

Troubleshooting

Powder is clumping during mixing

Add water to the shaker first, then the powder, and ensure you use a shaker ball or high-speed blender.

Product tastes too sweet or too strong

Increase the amount of water or liquid mixed with the powder to dilute the flavor profile.

Difficulty digesting the supplement

Reduce the serving size to a half-scoop to see if tolerance improves, or consume with food rather than on an empty stomach.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Storage: Keep the lid tightly sealed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent clumping and preserve the integrity of the protein powder.
  2. Mixing: Use a wire whisk ball inside a dedicated shaker cup for the smoothest consistency. If mixing in a glass, use a spoon and stir vigorously for 30 seconds.
  3. Dietary Considerations: While this product is effective for most, ensure it fits within your overall daily macronutrient goals. If you have specific medical conditions, consult a physician before starting any new supplement regimen.
