“Protein powders come in all shapes and sizes, so your fitness will most benefit from a variety of types which are tailored to your personal needs and goals. For example, you might include in the mix a powder high in collagen-derived glycine to nurture your joints but stick to your favourite whey or plant-based protein as your go-to,” says Caroline.
As with most other foods, when you’re looking for a protein powder or a protein bar to fuel your training and recovery, you should always read the ingredient list so you know exactly what you’re putting into your body. The ingredients vary from product to product, and some brands include added sugars or sweeteners, artificial flavourings and fillers which can have an adverse effect on health.
