The difference between BCAA and EAA
BCAAs are amino acids containing leucine, isoleucine and valine. They are essential, meaning they cannot be produced by your body and must be obtained from food. BCAAs strengthen muscles, reduce muscle fatigue and ease muscle soreness.
EAA, or essential amino acids, refer to the 9 essential amino acids present in muscle proteins. Proteins are made up of 20 amino acids, 9 of which the body cannot synthesize on its own. They improve performance, reduce muscle catabolism, promote muscle mass gain and aid weight loss.
I'd like to work in the health shop, where do I send my CV?
We invite you to contact the stores near you to find out about available positions.
I mix the protein with?
Mix the protein with water, milk of your choice or even your favorite juice! This supplement is a great addition to smoothies, yogurts, oatmeals, desserts and recipes!
I don't like the taste of the product, can I exchange it?
As mentioned in our policies, we cannot return, exchange or refund any product based on formulation or taste.
In addition, we cannot take back bulk products due to sanitary constraints related to the product.
I only received one bulk bag?
In a single order, we pack BULK products of the same flavor in just 1 bag, up to 10lbs!

I am unable to place an order

The different proteins on offer
Isolate
Isolate is a milk-based protein powder that has undergone filtration. Protein isolate processing involves separating and collecting the purest protein fractions (90-97%).
This separates the protein from fat, lactose and gluten. As a result, they provide more protein with fewer calories. They tend to be easier to digest, as gluten and lactose have been eliminated as the protein is purified.
*However, it is not recommended for anyone with lactose intolerance.
Whey
Whey is a protein powder derived from milk. It is also known as "whey" or "whey" protein. It contains more calories than isolate, as it has not undergone additional filtration to remove fat and lactose.
*Not recommended for the lactose-intolerant.
Beef
Beef protein is derived from hydrolyzed beef collagen. It is dairy-free and easily digested.
The protein is ideal for people with lactose intolerance.
Vegetable
Vegetable protein is mainly composed of rix, pea and/or hemp protein. It can contain between 50 and 90% protein.
This protein is ideal for vegetarians, vegans and lactose intolerants.
Free delivery
Free shipping is offered on all orders of 99$ and over, before taxes and after rebates.
