4 Ways To Ensure You Find The Right Whey Protein Powder Supplement
Have you overheard conversations about protein powder?
Unsure what it is, why it’s used or what to believe?
Here's 4 tips to guide you along the path to selecting the right Whey Protein Powder Supplement to suit you.
1. Check The Ingredients - Most Important
Most of the protein powders available on the market consist of a blend of:
- protein,
- additives,
- sweeteners
- and other unnecessary ingredients
Be sure to check the ingredient list on any protein powder before you consume it.
A long list of strange and confusing ingredients with names you can't even pronounce let alone know what they are...
Lots of numbers in the contents list is generally a warning sign, particularly if it says ‘proprietary blend’, which means the manufacturer doesn’t have to disclose the amounts of the blended ingredients.
This often means you will be ingesting mostly the cheapest ingredient with only a whisper of the ingredient you actually need.
All of True Protein’s ingredients are pure, simple and natural.
There are;
- no additives,
- no fillers,
- no artificial flavours
- or artificial sweeteners
All True Whey Proteins are from New Zealand grass-fed cows.
For flavouring,
True Protein uses the best quality raw ingredients and 100% natural flavourings and sweeteners to ensure a superior final taste.
Simply read True Protein’s labels to see for yourself!
2. Read The Reviews
Many products are listed across several distributor sites or in store as well as on the manufacturing company’s site.
It’s normal to feel unsure about a new product or if the quality is up to scratch.
Get an idea of what people are saying about the product from reading the reviews and star ratings.
3. Get A Sample
There are so many protein varieties available and we all have our own unique taste preferences.
A sample is a great way to try a flavour you may be hesitant about.
This will help you to determine how well the protein mixes together with liquid.
Test the texture and see if you would actually use and enjoy the product before you commit to buying a larger quantity.
True Protein Sample Packs are the perfect introduction to the premium protein range. Sample packs are available for WPC80, WPI90, Vegan85 and ProDefine, with a sample of all the available flavours in each pack and a bonus True Shaker!
