Protein Powders

Whey protein isolate Australia

There’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard of protein powder before. There are many different types of protein powders, and at Wicked NRG we supply them all including the hugely popular gold standard whey protein isolate. We even offer natural and organic protein powders. Australia has several choices on where to buy protein powder online, but not everywhere will offer the expertise that supports their products like we do here at Wicked NRG.

It is arguably the most widely-used fitness supplement on earth, and as such there are a myriad of brands to choose from. We recommend that you take into consideration your personal goals, dietary requirements, and any allergies you may have when deciding on which protein powder is best for you.

What is protein powder?

Protein powder is protein, in powder form. It can be mixed with different liquids, and even with food. The protein itself can come from milk (whey), soy, egg white, hydrolysate, casein, even hemp. Each of these proteins delivers a slightly different effect, some giving protein in a longer-lasting energy and others are faster-absorbing. In Australia, whey protein powder (isolate/concentrate) is the most popular.

What is the best time to take it?

There are advocates for all different avenues in regards to exactly when to have your protein shakes.

While some argue that just after your workout, you need to consume your post-workout shake as soon as humanly possible (it’s actually quite humorous watching some people bolting for their bottle as soon as their weight hits the floor after their final rep).

Then there are those who insist on having it just before a workout, to give you a boost of energy that you can utilise and push out those elusive extra reps you’ve been after for a week or two.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter when you get it, just as long as you do get it at some stage. We’ve found that not only the timing of your protein shake but also meals is of less importance than most make out. Perhaps you’ll get a better spread of energy by eating 100 smaller meals throughout the day at 8-minute intervals, but that’s unrealistic for most people to do.

To reiterate, drink your protein shake whenever you can. If you want to have it as soon as you finish your workout, go for it!
