What to Consider When Buying Protein Powder

The right protein powder can make a big difference to your fitness journey. Consider the following factors before you buy:

  • Protein Source: Decide between whey, casein, soy, pea or other plant‑based proteins based on your dietary preferences and tolerances.
  • Quality Certifications: Look for third‑party tested products that guarantee purity and absence of contaminants.
  • Ingredient Profile: Choose products with minimal additives, sweeteners or fillers. Check the nutrition label for protein content per serving.
  • Flavour & Texture: Read reviews or sample packs to find a flavour and texture you enjoy, ensuring you’ll stick to your supplement routine.
  • Price & Value: Compare the cost per gram of protein rather than just the overall price. Bulk buying can offer better value.
