Question 1

What kinds of protein do you carry?

Accepted Answer

Here at SportZone, we've got you covered with all the main types. You'll find Whey Isolate, which is the purest form with over 90% protein content. We also have Whey Concentrate, offering a fantastic balance of quality and value. For overnight recovery, there's Casein, a slow-digesting protein. And finally, we offer Protein Blends, which combine different protein sources for a sustained release to keep your muscles fueled for longer.

Question 2

When is the best time to take protein?

Accepted Answer

It really depends on the type of protein. For rapid recovery, Whey Isolate is perfect within 30 minutes of your workout. A Whey Concentrate shake works great anytime during the day as a high-protein snack. And for overnight muscle repair, Casein is your best bet right before bed, as it provides a slow, steady stream of amino acids for 6-8 hours.

Question 3

How much protein do I need per day?

Accepted Answer

For active individuals and athletes, a good target is between 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. So, if you weigh 80 kg, you'd aim for 128-176 grams of total protein per day from both your food and supplements. A typical protein shake will give you a solid 24-30 grams of that.

Question 4

What's the difference between Whey Isolate and Concentrate?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is the filtering process. Whey Isolate goes through extra filtration to remove most of the fat and lactose, resulting in a purer product that's over 90% protein. Whey Concentrate is less filtered, containing about 70-80% protein with slightly more fats and carbs, which also makes it more budget-friendly. Both are fantastic sources of high-quality, complete protein.

Question 5

Which whey protein is right for me?

Accepted Answer

That really comes down to your specific goals and budget. If you want the purest, fastest-absorbing option—or if you're sensitive to lactose—Whey Isolate or Hydrolysate is your best choice. If you're looking for a great all-around protein for muscle recovery and growth that offers excellent value for money, you can't go wrong with a Whey Concentrate.

Question 6

How should I store my whey protein?

Accepted Answer

To keep your whey protein fresh and effective, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity—a pantry or cupboard is perfect. Always make sure to seal the container tightly after each use to keep air and moisture out.
