How to Use Whey Protein
The everyday muscle-recovery protein — fast-digesting, mixes easily, works any time of day.
What it's for
Whey protein tops up your daily protein intake, which is what your body actually uses to repair and build muscle after training. It's food, not a stimulant — there's no 'kick' to feel, the benefit shows up over weeks of consistent use alongside training.
How to mix it
One scoop (check the exact size on your tub — it varies by brand, usually 30-46g) shaken or blended with 200-300ml of cold water or milk. Milk gives a thicker, creamier shake with extra calories and protein; water keeps it lighter if you're watching total calories.
When to take it
Most useful within an hour or two after training, but total daily protein matters more than exact timing. Many people also use a scoop between meals or with breakfast on busy mornings — there's no wrong time of day for it.
Tips
Shaking clumps? Add liquid first, then powder. Stomach a bit off? Try an isolate or hydrolysed option (like ISO 100) — less lactose, easier to digest. Store the tub sealed and dry; humidity is what turns whey into a brick.
General guidance only — always follow the dosage on your product's own label, and check with a doctor first if you're pregnant, on medication, or managing a health condition.
