Choosing the right protein powder can be overwhelming! We have compiled this guide to help make finding your perfect protein powder easy.

Whey Protein Range

Protein source	New Zealand grass-fed whey protein isolate
Benefits	Helps with muscle gain and performance Helps with weight loss and toning
Protein Content	Over 90% protein content with 25g of protein per 30g serve
Who is it for	WPI90 is a very versatile protein powder and is great whether you’re an avid gym goer trying to enhance your performance and recovery or just trying to up your protein intake. WPI goes through an additional filtration process meaning it has a lower lactose content making it gentler on some stomachs.
When to use it	Perfect for after a workout or at any time during the day
How to use it	Delicious in smoothies, baking or just in a shake with water!
Flavours	French Vanilla, Rich Chocolate, Banana & Honey, Salted Caramel, Natural, Choc Mint, Raw Coconut, Choc Peanut Butter, Mocha, Strawberry and Cream, Cookies and Cream

WPC80 - Whey Protein Concentrate

Protein source	New Zealand grass-fed whey protein concentrate
Benefits	Helps with muscle gain and performance Helps with weight loss and toning
Protein Content	Over 80% protein content with 23g of protein per 30g serve
Who is it for	Like WPI 90, WPC80 is a very versatile protein powder and is great whether you’re an avid gym goer trying to enhance your performance and recovery or just trying to up your protein intake. However, WPC 80 is a little higher in fat, lactose and carbohydrates. If you are eating within a strict calorie range, WPI 90 might be preferable for you.
When to use it	Perfect for after a workout or at any time during the day
How to use it	Delicious in smoothies, baking or just in a shake with water!
Flavours	French Vanilla, Rich Chocolate, Banana & Honey, Salted Caramel, Natural, Choc Mint, Raw Coconut, Choc Peanut Butter, Mocha, Strawberry and Cream, Cookies and Cream

How is it different to WPI 90?	The key difference between the two whey protein powders is refinement. Both powders go through a micro-filtration process in their raw state, but WPI90 goes through a further ultra-filtration process that strips away lactose and other elements to give a purer whey with a higher protein content of around 90%.
