Difference between BCAA and EAA
BCAAs are amino acids that include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are essential, meaning your body cannot produce them and they must be obtained from food. BCAAs strengthen muscles, reduce muscle fatigue, and alleviate muscle soreness.
EAAs, or essential amino acids, refer to the nine essential amino acids found in muscle proteins. Proteins are made up of 20 amino acids, nine of which the body cannot synthesize on its own. They improve performance, reduce muscle catabolism, promote muscle growth, and aid in weight loss.
I would like to work at the health shop, or should I send my CV?
We invite you to contact the shops near your home to find out about available positions.
Should I mix the protein with it?
Mix the protein with water, milk of your choice, or even your favorite juice! This supplement is a great addition to smoothies, yogurts, oatmeal, desserts, and recipes!
I don't like the flavor of the product, can I exchange it?
As mentioned in our policies , we cannot return, exchange, or refund a product based on formulation or taste.
Furthermore, we cannot accept bulk products due to health and safety restrictions related to the product.
I only received one bag of bulk goods?
In a single order, we pack bulk products of the same flavor in just 1 bag, which can weigh up to 10 lbs!
1 lbs = 454g.
I am unable to place an order
There is likely an out-of-stock item in your cart. You can contact customer service for assistance.
The different proteins offered
Isolate
Protein isolate is a milk-based protein powder that has undergone filtration. The processing of protein isolate involves separating and collecting the purest protein fractions (90-97%).
This process separates the protein from the fat, lactose, and gluten. As a result, they provide more protein with fewer calories. They also tend to be easier to digest because the gluten and lactose have been removed as the protein is purified.
*However, it is not recommended for a person who is lactose intolerant.
Whey
Whey is a powdered protein derived from milk. It is also known as "whey" or "lactose" protein. It therefore contains more calories than isolate because it has not undergone additional filtration steps to remove fat and lactose.
*It is not recommended for a person who is lactose intolerant.
Beef
Beef protein is derived from hydrolyzed beef collagen. It contains no dairy products and is very easily digested.
The protein is perfectly suited for those with lactose intolerance.
Vegetable
Plant-based protein is primarily composed of rice, pea, and/or hemp protein. It can contain between 50 and 90% protein.
This protein is ideal for vegetarians, vegans and those with lactose intolerance.
Free delivery
Free shipping is offered on all orders of $99 and over, before taxes and after discounts.
