The answer to this depends on your age and whether you are training intensely.

If you are simply aiming to have a healthy diet and not training intensely, then your recommended daily intake of protein from all sources is listed on the NZ Nutrition Foundation website.A brief summary is below:

Women aged 19-70 46g per day
Women over 70 57g per day
Breastfeeding women 67g per day
Pregnant women 60g per day
Teenage boys 14-18 65g per day
Teenage girsl 14-18 45g per day
Men aged 19-70 64g per day
Men over 70 81g per day

If you are aiming to gain muscle or are an active athlete engaging in intense exercise, your daily protein requirements will be higher than those outlined above. The reason for this is that when muscles are used intensely, the muscle protein myoglobin breaks down and needs to be repaired. This rebuilding process leads to growth of the muscle fibres and therefor requires an intake of protein over and above the level we need to simply get by. In a 2017 article published in The Journal of Nutrition, it was found that the daily protein requirements of young male bodybuilders was between 1.2 to 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight.

This is a tricky question and really depends on the person, their goals and their budget.

Our whey protein powder is a great, budget friendly all rounder. It is ideal for someone wanting to generally boost their protein intake, or someone training for a sport or in the gym. It has a high level of protein and low carbs and fat.

People that are following a plant based or vegan diets will find that our pea protein powders suit them well.

Whey protein isolate is great for people wishing to add protein to their diet but wanting to minimise their fat and carbohydrate intake. It is great for high performance athletes, body builders, cyclists and triathletes. It is also great for people with a sensitivity to lactose, as it has most of the lactose removed. It is also recommended by nutritionists for people undergoing and recovering from bariatric surgery.

Whey is produced when manufacturing cheese - the curds separate from the whey and are dried to make cheese. Whey is a liquid, that is then dried to form whey protein concentrate. This contains 80% protein.

Whey protein isolate is produced when the whey protein concentrate undergoes a another stage of filtration to remove as much of the fat and carbohydrates as possible. This results in a protein powder which contains 93% protein and very low amounts of carbohydrates and fat. This gives it a less creamy and thinner consistency.

Our Marine Collagen is made from Type 1 Hydrolysed Marine Collagen and our Bovine Collagen is made from 100% pure Types 1 and 3 Collagen.

Both provide the same great benefits to your hair, skin, nails and joints.

Both contain 50mg of Vitamin C, added to support collagen synthesis and provide antioxidant benefits to the rest of your body.

We offer both Marine and Bovine Collagen, as some customers have dietary restrictions or preferences for one over the other.

Add 2 teaspoons (10g) to your smoothie, coffee, tea, baking or other hot or cold liquid. Both of our collagen powders are tasteless and odourless so will not change the taste.

This is dependent on the individual, but can be anywhere from 4-12 weeks.

Our Bovine Collagen is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is sourced from beef animals so has the same safety profile as other beef products, and is tested rigourously for bacteria during production.

We do not recommend using our Marine Collagen during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as it is derived from fish and may contain allergens.
