Active Ingredients

Whey Protein

Whey Protein is a quick-absorbing protein found in cows’ milk.

It’s well-known to boost muscle growth and recovery. This, paired with its rapid absorption, makes it a perfect source of protein for post-workout consumption (1).

Iron Whey contains 3 forms of whey, which are all very pure and fast-digesting.

BCAAs

BCAA is the group term given to the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine.

They can’t be made by the body, but are very important for the building of muscle.

BCAAs can prevent muscle breakdown, reduce stress hormone production, and improve recovery time (2).

Lactase

Lactase is an enzyme that helps our bodies break down and absorb lactose, a natural sugar found in cows’ milk.

This is helpful for anyone who tends to get gas or digestion issues after the consumption of dairy products.

Who Takes It?

Any athlete wanting a high-quality source of protein for post-workout or casual consumption will enjoy Iron Whey.

How to Take

Mix 1-2 scoops with 250-500mL water or milk, and consume around workout time, or as desired.

Side Effects

Excess protein consumption can worsen existing kidney or liver conditions.
