Features

• 100% Whey Protein Isolate: Serves as the single primary source of protein.
• Optimal Amino Acid Profile: Contains ~5.5g of naturally occurring Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) and ~11g of Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) per serving.
• Instantized Powder Technology: Specially formulated to mix effortlessly with a spoon or shaker cup, preventing clumps.
• Banned Substance Tested: Certified by "Informed-Choice," ensuring it is free from athletic banned substances.
• Rich Chocolate Flavour: A highly palatable, cocoa-infused taste profile that avoids chemical aftertastes.
• Ultra-Filtered Formulation: Extensively processed to remove excess fat, cholesterol, and carbohydrates.
• 1 lb (454g) Packaging: Contains approximately 14–15 servings per container, ideal for trial or travel.

• Accelerates Post-Workout Muscle Recovery: By providing a rapid supply of easily digestible amino acids, this isolate sharply reduces muscle protein breakdown and limits Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) after strenuous exercise.
• Stimulates Lean Muscle Mass Synthesis: Delivering approximately 25 grams of high-quality protein per serving, it acts as a primary building block for myofibrillar hypertrophy (muscle growth) without adding excess caloric bulk.
• High Bioavailability and Rapid Absorption: Unlike standard whey concentrates, the isolate undergoes advanced micro-filtration, resulting in a protein structure that the gastrointestinal tract metabolises and delivers to muscle tissues within minutes of consumption.
• Ideal for Calorie-Conscious and Cutting Diets: With minimal carbohydrates, zero added sugars, and virtually no fat, this supplement fits seamlessly into strict macronutrient profiles designed for fat loss and lean body recomposition.
• Minimises Gastrointestinal Discomfort: The rigorous filtration process strips away excess lactose, making it a highly tolerable alternative for individuals with mild dairy sensitivities who normally experience bloating from standard protein powders.

For optimal muscle protein synthesis and recovery, follow these steps:

1. Pour 6 to 8 fluid ounces (180–240 ml) of cold water, skim milk, or your preferred beverage into a shaker cup.
2. Add exactly one level scoop (approx. 30g) of the powder to the liquid.
3. Secure the lid firmly and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the powder is completely dissolved.
4. Consume within 30 to 60 minutes immediately following your workout.
5. Alternatively, consume between meals or in the morning to meet your daily protein requirements.

• Who Should NOT Use: Individuals with severe, clinically diagnosed milk protein allergies (anaphylaxis risk) or those with pre-existing renal (kidney) or hepatic (liver) failure should avoid high-protein supplements unless cleared by a specialist.
• Allergy Warnings: Contains ingredients derived from Milk and Soy (lecithin used for mixability).
• Drug Interactions: High doses of dietary protein may interfere with the absorption of certain medications, such as Levodopa (Parkinson’s medication) or specific antibiotics (tetracyclines/fluoroquinolones). Separate intake by at least 2 hours.
• Pregnancy / Lactation: While protein is essential during pregnancy, expectant or nursing mothers should consult an obstetrician before adding processed supplements to their diet.
• Overdose / Excess Use Caution: Do not use this product as your sole source of nutrition. Excessive consumption beyond daily macronutrient needs may lead to mild gastrointestinal distress (gas, bloating).
• Storage: Keep strictly out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain powder integrity.
