You don’t need our natural protein supplements to build muscle, lose fat, and get healthy. But the right one can help by making it easier to eat enough high-quality protein.
And right now, everything is also on sale (BOGO 50% off).
Not sure which supplements are right for you? Take our quiz and find out.
Can I take
protein supplements without working out?
Yes.
The Institute of Medicine recommends that
sedentary people aged 17-to-90 years old eat at least ~0.4 grams of protein per
pound of body weight per day to avoid losing muscle and stave off
decrepitude (though eating more islikely better if
you want to flourish instead of just survive).
While you can get all of the protein you need
from food, taking a protein supplement is a convenient way to boost your
protein intake and make it easier to reach this target.
Does
protein powder make you gain weight?
You only gain weight if you consume more
calories than you burn. Protein powder contains calories, which means it may
contribute to weight gain if you don't adjust your calorie intake to
accommodate the extra calories you consume from protein powder.
However, provided you aren't in a calorie surplus, protein
powder won't
cause weight gain.
If you'd like specific advice about how many
calories you should consume to lose, gain, or maintain your weight, take
the Legion Diet Quiz.
How long
does protein powder last?
Protein powder has a shelf life of around 18
months when stored under normal conditions.
Can you
take collagen and protein powder together?
You can mix 1 serving of Whey+ with 8-to-10 oz
of water, milk, or your favorite beverage.
What is
the best protein powder for muscle gain?
There are several types of protein powder that
are effective for helping you gain muscle, but perhaps the most popular is whey
protein powder.
Whey is rapidly digested, easily absorbed, has a
stellar amino acid profile, and usually has a good taste and texture, all of
which make it a great choice for anyone looking to build or maintain muscle, gain strength,
and recover from their
workouts quickly.
If you want to enjoy a 100% natural grass-fed
whey isolate protein powder made with milk from small, sustainable dairy farms
in Ireland, try Whey+.
What
protein powder is best for weight loss?
No kind of protein powder will directly burn
body fat or help you lose weight on its own, but research shows eating a
high-protein diet helps you feel
satiated, which makes it easier to maintain a calorie deficit and thus lose
weight.
That said, research shows
that casein may help increase fat loss more than whey protein when combined
with a calorie-restricted diet, so it might have a slight edge when it comes to weight loss.
If you want a clean, 100% natural, delicious
micellar casein protein powder that's naturally sweetened and flavored and
contains no artificial dyes or other chemical junk, try Casein+.
When
should you take protein powder?
As a dietary supplement, mix 1 serving with 8-10
oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage whenever's convenient for you.
For pre-workout nutrition, take 1 serving
30-to-60 minutes before working out.
For post-workout nutrition, take 1 serving
within 60 minutes of finishing working out if you weigh less than 150 pounds
and 2 servings if you weigh more than 180 pounds.
Can you
freeze protein powder?
No.
Protein powder may spoil if it's exposed to
extremes of temperature or moisture. Store protein powder in a cool, dry place,
such as a closet or pantry.
What is
protein?
A proteinis
a large molecule made up of chains of smaller compounds known as
amino acids.
You can think of amino acids as the "building
blocks" of many tissues in the body, including muscle, hair, nails, and skin.
What are
the best types of protein powder?
There are several types of protein powder that
are effective for helping you gain muscle. Learn more about the most popular
types in this article:
The best way to ensure you get enough protein in
your diet is to consume plenty of high-protein foods such as lean meats, fish,
eggs, dairy, pulses, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
If you already follow a diet that contains these
foods and still have trouble hitting your daily protein target, taking a
protein powder supplement is a convenient way to boost your protein intake.

Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.
That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.
You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.
“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.
That’s why all of our ingredients in all of our products come from plant and animal sources, including sweeteners, colors, and flavors.
If you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want to buy from a company that:
Sources ingredients from premium suppliers around the world (great supplements require great raw materials)
Tests all ingredients for purity and potency in accredited third-party labs (to conclusively verify safety and efficacy)
Manufactures final products in America (which has some of the strictest regulations in the world)
Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?
That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.
That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.
You’ll never see a “proprietary blend” in any of our products, which is little more than a sneaky way to use tiny (ineffective) amounts of lots of ingredients and hope customers don’t know any better.
Every dose listed. For every ingredient. In every product. Anything else is unacceptable.
While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why you won’t find them in Vitality.
