How to Take It

Take it anytime

Total daily protein is what matters — the post-workout "anabolic window" has not held up in controlled trials.

With or without food

On the label

Mix about one scoop of the powder into 6 to 8 fluid ounces of cold water, milk, or other beverage. Stir, shake, or blend until dissolved. For best results, mix up your shake 30 to 60 minutes after your workout or use as an anytime snack in your balanced diet.

General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.

Nutrient data (RDA, UL, and safety thresholds) sourced from: NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and National Academies Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI).

This is not medical advice. Consult a healthcare provider before making changes to your supplement routine.

The score analyzes what's on the label: ingredient doses vs. clinical ranges, chemical forms, evidence levels, and known interactions. It does not verify label accuracy or test for contaminants — for that, look for third-party certifications like USP or NSF.
