Protein Supplements: Find the Right One for You!

Thinking of getting a protein supplement and not sure which one suits your needs better?

Let's take a look at the main types and their features, so you can make the best possible choice!

➡ Protein origin 

As you begin your search, you may notice that there are protein supplements from different dietary sources. Let's take a look at the types and see which one suits you best.

1. Milk Protein 

It is produced from milk during the cheese-making process and is the most popular choice for athletes. It is a complete protein, particularly rich in leucine, containing all the essential amino acids and playing a key role in muscle growth.

Below you will find the 3 different milk protein by-products that exist and more details about each one.

2. Casein

Casein is also a milk protein, but it is absorbed more slowly (6–8 hours), creates a feeling of fullness, and is ideal for consumption before sleep. During the night, it provides a gradual release of amino acids, reducing muscle breakdown and is suitable for those who want a steady supply of protein and are in a cutting phase.

3. Vegan options

If you follow a vegetarian diet, have lactose intolerance or want to avoid consuming milk, choose plant-based proteins. They may not always be “complete” on their own, but many products combine different sources for a complete amino acid profile.

3. Beef Protein 

As its name suggests, it comes from beef and is a good option if you are lactose intolerant. It has a high protein content per serving (~25-27 g), and contains all the essential amino acids for muscle recovery and regeneration.

➡ Formula 

Depending on the goal you want to achieve, proteins are divided into 2 main types. What mainly differs is their carbohydrate content, as well as the calories per serving.

✨ Discover proteins for muscle definition

They contain little or no carbohydrates and are therefore ideal for muscle strengthening without the simultaneous addition of fat to the body. 

✨ Discover proteins for bulking

They contain carbohydrates and have more calories than pure proteins, so they increase muscle mass and body fat.

➡ Special features 

To help you choose, we have this filter where you can easily find proteins based on your dietary preferences.
