• Accelerates Post-Workout Muscle Recovery: Whey Protein Isolate (WPI), the primary ingredient, undergoes advanced filtration to remove excess fat and lactose. This ensures rapid absorption into the bloodstream, immediately triggering muscle protein synthesis after strenuous exercise.
• Promotes Lean Muscle Mass Development: Delivering a potent 24g of high-biological-value protein per scoop, this formula provides the essential building blocks required to repair micro-tears in muscle fibres, facilitating the growth of dense, lean muscle tissue over time.
• Reduces Exercise-Induced Muscle Fatigue: Each serving yields 5.5g of naturally occurring Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)—Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. These specific amino acids bypass hepatic metabolism to act directly on skeletal muscle, delaying the onset of fatigue and reducing muscle soreness (DOMS).
• Preserves Muscle Tissue with Glutamine: With 4g of naturally occurring glutamine and glutamic acid per serving, this protein powder helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance in the body, preventing muscle catabolism (breakdown) during intense training phases or caloric deficits.
• Supports Lean Diets and Weight Management: Engineered to be low in carbohydrates, sugars (only 1g per serving), and fats, this highly refined protein source integrates seamlessly into calorie-restricted or macronutrient-monitored diets without compromising on nutritional density.

For optimal muscle recovery and nitrogen balance, follow these steps:

1. Take 1 level scoop (approx. 30.4g) of the powder.
2. Pour 180–240 ml of cold water, skimmed milk, or your preferred beverage into a shaker cup or blender.
3. Shake or blend vigorously for 20–30 seconds until the powder is completely dissolved.
4. Drink immediately. Consume 1 to 2 servings per day based on your daily protein requirements and training intensity.
5. Best Time to Consume: Within 30–60 minutes post-workout for maximum absorption. Can also be consumed first thing in the morning or between meals to bridge protein gaps.

Pro Tip: For a thicker, more indulgent chocolate shake, mix with 150ml of cold almond milk and a few ice cubes.

• Contains Milk and Soy (Lecithin). Manufactured in a facility that may process tree nuts, peanuts, and wheat.
• While WPI is low in lactose, individuals with severe lactose intolerance should consult a gastroenterologist before use.
• Consult a physician before use if you have preexisting renal (kidney) or hepatic (liver) conditions, as high-protein diets require proper metabolic clearance.
• Pregnant or nursing women should seek medical advice prior to incorporating protein supplements into their diet.
• This product is designed to be a dietary supplement. It should not be used as a sole source of nutrition or for weight reduction.
• Keep the tub tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
