The advantages of opting for lean protein powders
Lean protein powders promote muscle tone while minimising excess fat accumulation. With a special blend of ingredients tailored to meet women's needs, our lean protein powder provides the necessary nutrients to support muscle growth and recovery without adding unnecessary bulk.
But the benefits don’t end there!
-
Fuel Workouts & Boost Performance: Whether hitting the gym or running around after the kids, lean protein powders can provide the fuel to optimise your workout performance. They’re packed with essential amino acids that help prevent muscle breakdown during exercise and support muscle repair and growth.
-
Promote Faster Recovery: Lean protein powders contain ingredients aiding muscle repair and reducing muscle soreness after intense workouts. By enhancing your recovery process, these complete protein powders allow you to bounce back faster and maintain consistency in your training regimen.
-
Maintain a Balanced Diet: Besides their muscle-building benefits, lean protein powders can help maintain a balanced diet. They are often low in calories, fat, and carbohydrates, making them an ideal choice for those looking to manage their weight or follow a low-carb diet.
- Slow Releasing: Lean protein powders with slow-releasing properties provide a steady supply of amino acids to your muscles over an extended period. This ensures a constant fuel source for your muscles, preventing muscle breakdown and supporting muscle growth.
When choosing a lean protein powder, it's essential to consider the key ingredients contributing to its effectiveness. For example, lean whey protein is a high-quality protein derived from milk. It contains all the essential amino acids needed for muscle growth and repair and is quickly absorbed by the body, making it an excellent choice for post-workout recovery.
Our BURN Protein combines casein and lean whey protein powder that’s low in carbs, fats, and sugars while also containing natural fat-metabolising nutrients to shift stubborn fat and support a strong, healthy body.
Aside from the health benefits, this delicious protein comes in a huge range of flavours, including:
- Cookies & Cream
- Iced Mochaccino
- Choc Fudge Brownie
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Choc Honeycomb
- Salted Caramel
- Berry Cheesecake
- Banana Toffee
- Strawberry Sundae.
Mix with cold water, skim milk, or blend it into your morning smoothie; no matter how you take your protein, you’ll be amazed by the flavour!
Ingredients you’ll find in our low-carb protein powders
Reading the ingredients in protein powder can be confusing sometimes, but we’re always upfront about our ingredients and how they can assist with your fitness and fitness goals!
Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) The ultimate choice for muscle building and strength enhancement. WPI is the purest form of dairy protein. |
Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) WPC is a top-notch whey protein containing protein segments known as "peptides," which promote health, such as boosting the immune system and stabilising hormone function. |
Phaseolamin Found in white kidney beans, phaseolamin is a compound that inhibits the digestion of starches like bread, rice, and potatoes in the digestive tract. This leads to reduced starch breakdown, decreased carbohydrate absorption, and less carbohydrate storage as fat. |
Hydroxy Citric Acid Found in the tropical fruit Garcinia Cambogia, hydroxy citric acid has been proven to assist in reducing the conversion of blood sugar into fat. |
L-Carnitine Plays a crucial role in transporting circulating fatty acids to the cellular region, where they are burned for fuel. This essential amino acid is a must-have for optimal energy levels and maximum fat burning. |
Green Tea Contains beneficial compounds called Catechins, which function as antioxidants and support an optimum metabolism for fat. |
Raspberry Ketones Aids in regulating Adiponectin, a hormone responsible for controlling fat metabolism. |
Choline & Inositol Enables the body to burn fats instead of storing them. |
Dairy Calcium When combined with milk proteins, dairy calcium assists in reducing fat absorption in the digestive system. This ultimately leads to weight loss and is crucial in maintaining strong and healthy bones. |
Plus, with 21.3 grams of protein per serving (with water, 28.5 in skim milk), you’ll feel full and active for hours after your daily shake!
