Benefits
- ✓ Supports muscle recovery after training

Frequently asked questions
- How much protein do I actually need? +
- Most active adults thrive on 1.2–2g per kg of bodyweight daily. Powders make hitting that target easier — they're not a magic ingredient.
- Whey or plant — which is better? +
- Whey is cheaper and has a complete amino profile by default. Plant proteins are gentler on the stomach and now match whey when properly formulated (rice + pea blends are best).
- Will protein powder make me gain weight? +
- Only if your total calorie intake exceeds what you burn. Protein itself is one of the most satiating macros.
