Protein You Can Feel Good About
For many people, getting enough protein can feel overwhelming. Between busy schedules, endless product options, and conflicting nutrition advice, it’s easy to fall short, or to feel uncertain about what to trust.
And lately, with new research revealing that many protein powders contain traces of lead and heavy metals, it’s no wonder people are rethinking their choices. Clean, safe, and effective protein shouldn’t be hard to find, but it often is. That’s something we wanted to change.
Why Protein Matters
Protein is essential at every stage of life, but it plays an especially important role during mid-life. As we age, our bodies naturally begin to lose muscle mass, bone density, and collagen【1】. Getting enough high-quality protein helps counteract that, supporting lean muscle maintenance, bone health, recovery, and energy levels【2】【3】.
For women in particular, adequate protein intake supports hormonal balance and bone strength helping maintain energy and prevent muscle loss during perimenopause and menopause【4】【5】. It’s one of the most powerful (and often overlooked) foundations of long-term wellness.
Clean, Complete, and Convenient
To help make meeting daily protein needs easier, and cleaner, we have enhanced two of our best-selling products with clean plant-based, complete protein. Each serving provides 12 grams of clean, complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids your body needs for energy, recovery, and strength 【6】.
Our blends are third-party tested for lead and heavy metals and are Non-GMO Project Verified, ensuring purity and safety in every scoop. Just as importantly, they blend smoothly into your favourite hot or cold beverages, whether it’s your morning coffee, a smoothie, or even an acai bowl, for an extra boost of protein in your routine.
Wellness You Can Trust
At withinUs, ingredient integrity is everything. We believe that wellness starts with transparency, knowing exactly what’s in your products, and trusting that they are safe, pure, and effective. Our protein blends were developed with that in mind: simple, clean nutrition designed to support your daily routine and your long-term health.
Because feeling good about what you put in your body should be simple, and truly good for you.
