Protein Blends

Protein Blend Supplements

Protein supplements are a really hot commodity right now. Walk into any health food store, grocery, pharmacy or mass-market venue and you're sure to find stocks full of Protein powders offering whey protein, casein, hemp, soy, pea, brown rice, bone broth, and many other forms of protein. Indeed, protein supplements come in all shapes and sizes, in a range of both animal-based and plant-based iterations. Many protein powder supplements also come as blends of several different protein sources.

Combining proteins may be necessary if you opt for certain plant-based options in order to provide a complete amino acid profile. Combination protein blends can also be helpful to boost the concentration of BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) and promote muscle building. These blends often feature additional ingredients like: greens, vegetables and berry concentrates, antioxidant superfoods, adaptogens, medicinal mushrooms, blue-green algae, and a range of medicinal herbs to bolster the overall nutritional profile. Specific protein powder blends are explicitly targeted toward sports nutrition and fitness buffs and have added ingredients such as glutamine, beetroot, and creatine that support athletic performance and recovery.

Benefits of Protein Blends

• Accelerate Muscle Recovery
• Build & Repair Body Tissues Faster 
• Help Balance Blood Sugar & Control Appetite
• Promote Muscle Building & Fat Loss

Why Choose A Protein Blend?

Although once reserved solely for bodybuilders and athletes, protein powders 

are now used by people from all walks of life. The right protein powder blend can be an ideal solution to support weight loss, optimize body composition (lose fat & build muscle), stabilize blood sugar, reduce appetite, control cravings, prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), increase protein intake, and improve overall health. 

A quality protein blend is also highly convenient for busy individuals who don't have time for breakfast. It can be added to any milk of choice and blended into a nutritious and delicious smoothie in just a couple of minutes to help you power through mornings. 

Protein Blend Supplements

Combination protein blends come principally in powders in both large tubs and individual sachets, and bars, though the protein content tends to be inferior in bars. Look for a formula that supplies a solid 15 to 30 g of protein per serving, depending on your health goals (more protein if you're looking for help with muscle building). 

Final Thoughts

The protein blend you choose should feature quality ingredients high in protein, be organic, Non-GMO, and Gluten Free, and not contain any added sugar, artificial flavours, colours, or sweeteners. Protein blends that contain greens powders may contain potentially allergenic fillers such as soy, so always read labels carefully. If the formula you are looking at contains medicinal plants and you have a pre-existing health condition or are on any prescription medications, check with your health care provider to determine if the formula is right for you.
