The Ingredients & Their Evidence-Based Roles
- 100% whey protein isolate:
1. Has an ideal PDCAA score of 1.0 [1], which means it contains all 9 essential amino acids (EAAs) and is easily digested by the body.
2. Provides the highest concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), isoleucine, leucine and valine – these are the building blocks of muscle tissue, and help our cells make protein. [2]
3. Is considered a fast-absorbing protein, as it increases the blood’s amino acid levels in under an hour, reaching peak levels within 90 minutes. [3]
- Cocoa powder & dark chocolate flavour: for taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
While it can be consumed at any time that’s convenient for you, these are some specific timings that may be helpful: (i) between meals, either as a snack or around your workout (ii) with breakfast, in case you’re looking to reduce hunger cravings, which high-protein breakfasts can help with, as suggested by some small studies.

There’s no inherent harm in using two protein supplements simultaneously, but we wouldn’t recommend it. Getting protein from food sources is also important, since protein-rich foods come with several other nutrients that keep us healthy. [6] Consuming 2 protein supplements could quickly increase your protein intake, and combined with protein-rich foods, this is likely to make you exceed your daily protein requirement, which may lead to an excessive calorie intake.
No, it’s the lactose in whey that generally leads to the bloated feeling, since it’s hard to digest for (a surprising number of) people. Nutrova Whey Protein Isolate is highly purified and has negligible lactose.
Added sugars (and fillers like maltodextrin) create a spike in our blood sugar, which can lead to health problems. Artificial sweeteners might adversely affect the good bacteria in our gut and also increase sugar cravings. If you’d like it to taste sweeter, try it as a delicious smoothie by blending it with a few ingredients like fruits and yogurt.
