Protein supplements
Whey, casein, plant proteins for muscle protein synthesis and recovery.
8 supplements in this category
Whey Protein Isolate
The gold-standard fast-absorbing protein. 90%+ protein by weight, virtually lactose-free, ideal for muscle protein synthesis around workouts.
Dose: 20–40 g per serving
Whey Protein Concentrate
Cheaper, less-processed whey with more lactose and fat. Higher in immune-boosting peptides like lactoferrin and immunoglobulins.
Dose: 25–40 g per serving
Casein Protein
Slow-digesting milk protein that drip-feeds amino acids for hours. Best taken before bed to support overnight muscle protein synthesis.
Dose: 25–40 g per serving
Pea Protein
The best vegan protein for muscle building — high in BCAAs and lysine, well-absorbed, and clinically equivalent to whey for hypertrophy.
Dose: 25–40 g per serving
Soy Protein Isolate
Complete plant protein with all 9 EAAs. Equivalent muscle-building to whey in older adults; mild cardio-protective effects from isoflavones.
Dose: 25–40 g per serving
Brown Rice Protein
Hypoallergenic vegan protein, low in lysine but high in cysteine. Best blended 70/30 with pea protein for a complete amino profile.
Dose: 30–48 g per serving
Egg White Protein
The original 'gold-standard' protein with PDCAAS=1.0. Lactose-free, fat-free, and rich in leucine for muscle protein synthesis.
Dose: 25–35 g per serving
Collagen Peptides
Bioavailable peptides that may improve skin elasticity, joint comfort, and tendon recovery. Not a complete protein for muscle building.
Dose: 10–20 g daily
