🥩 THIS or THAT? 🌱
When it comes to protein powders, I always encourage my clients to look beyond the marketing and read the ingredient label.
Not all proteins are created equal.
✅ My top choices:
• Bone Broth Protein
• 100% Whey Protein Isolate (if dairy is tolerated)
Why?
✔️ Higher bioavailability (your body can absorb and utilize it more efficiently)
✔️ Rich in essential amino acids needed for repair and recovery
✔️ Supports muscle maintenance, healthy aging, metabolism, and satiety
✔️ Bone broth protein provides collagen-building amino acids that support skin, joints, connective tissue, and gut health. 
✔️ Whey isolate contains all 9 essential amino acids and is one of the most highly digestible protein sources available. 
⚠️ What about pea protein?
Many plant proteins are heavily processed and may not provide the same amino acid profile or digestibility as animal-based proteins. While pea protein can be useful for some individuals, it is naturally lower in certain essential amino acids compared to whey and many animal proteins. 
Things I personally consider when evaluating protein powders:
🔍 Is it a complete protein?
🔍 How easily is it digested and absorbed?
🔍 Does it contain fillers, gums, artificial sweeteners, or inflammatory additives?
🔍 Is it third-party tested for quality?
🔍 Does it actually support my health goals?
🥇 Bone Broth Protein
🥈 Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate
🥉 Whole food protein sources first whenever possible
Remember: The best protein powder is the one your body tolerates well, provides a quality amino acid profile, and contains clean ingredients.
