Legion Whey Concentrate Ingredients (30 grams per serving)
Avonlac 282® Whey Protein Concentrate Powder (20 grams per serving)
Whey protein concentrate is a form of whey protein made from fresh dairy whey, which is the liquid part of milk remaining after cheese has been made. It undergoes special filtration to remove excess fat and lactose while preserving the protein content and quality.
Avonlac 282® is a premium form of whey protein concentrate made with milk from cows never treated with rBST (a synthetic hormone used to boost milk production) and specifically processed to taste pleasant and dissolve quickly and easily in liquids.
Research shows that supplementation with whey protein concentrate . . .
Boosts muscle growth and strength gain when combined with resistance training[7][8][9]
There’s no clinically effective dose of whey protein concentrate. Instead, use it to help reach the recommended intake of ~0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day.
Naturally Sweetened and Flavored
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.[14][15][16][17][18][19]
That’s why we use the natural sweetener stevia instead. Research shows that this ingredient is not only safe but can also confer several health benefits, including better nutrient absorption, healthy cholesterol and inflammation levels, and more.[20][21][22][23]
No Artificial Food Dyes, Fillers, or Other Unnecessary Junk
As with artificial sweeteners, studies show that artificial food dyes and fillers can cause negative effects in some people, including gastrointestinal toxicity and behavioral disorders.[24][25][26][27][28]
That’s why we use natural coloring and flavoring derived from fruits and other foods as well as naturally derived ingredients for improving texture, enhancing shelf life, and facilitating the manufacturing process.
Third-Party Lab Tested for Potency and Purity
Whey Concentrate is tested by a state-of-the-art ISO 17025-accredited third-party laboratory for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants to ensure compliance with FDA purity standards.

"Legion is science-based at its core. Not only do they dose all of their products based on the clinical doses proven to be effective by scientific studies, they go above and beyond the their competitors by funding new research."
Dr. Bill Campbell, PhD
Professor of Exercise Science at University of South Florida
"There are a lot of sleazy supplement companies out there, but Legion is not one of them. Their products are free of fillers and inactive ingredients and they take the time (and money) to test them with independent labs to ensure you're getting what you pay for."
Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, MD
Board-Certified Family Medicine Physician and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine
"When it comes to quality and integrity, Legion is among the best. Their products only include ingredients that are backed by research and in doses that are proven to be effective in scientific studies."
Sal Di Stefano, Justin Andrews, and Adam Schafer
Hosts of The Mind Pump Podcast
"Legion is a tremendous company run by people I trust and respect. The quality of their supplements is second to no one. And while I don’t use many supplements, the only ones I do come from Legion."
Jordan Syatt
Strength and Nutrition Coach
"Legion consults with nutrition experts to make honest, science-based products and then proves they're genuine with independent lab work. That's how all supplement companies should operate."
Menno Henselmans, MS
Founder of Bayesian Bodybuilding, Published Scientist, and Physique Coach
"Legion's customers are getting some of the best sports supplements on the market."
"Legion Pulse is the best overall pre-workout, especially for energy and focus."
Mix one serving with 8-to-10 ounces of water and drink it whenever it’s convenient—between meals or whenever you haven’t eaten protein for a few hours both work well.
If you have a high daily protein target, prefer Whey Concentrate to eating high-protein foods, or if eating enough protein from whole foods is impractical, you can have more than one serving per day—just try not to rely on Whey Concentrate for more than 50% of your total daily protein intake.
For use around your workouts, take Whey Concentrate within 1-to-2 hours before or after exercising.
What’s the difference between whey protein concentrate and isolate?
Whey protein concentrate contains slightly more fat and carbs than isolate, but it’s less processed and retains more of whey’s natural compounds. It also tends to have a richer flavor and creamier texture, which makes it a great choice if you’re not sensitive to dairy and want something that tastes a little more indulgent.
Whey isolate, on the other hand, is a better option if you’re sensitive to lactose or dieting and want to keep fat, carbs, and calories as low as possible.
Should I drink Whey Concentrate with water or milk?
You can mix Whey Concentrate with water or milk. For a lighter shake that’s still creamy and smooth, mix it with water. If you prefer something thicker and more milkshake-like, go for milk.
Why is Whey Concentrate more expensive than other whey concentrate protein supplements?
Whey Concentrate is more expensive than other whey protein supplements because producing a high-quality whey protein powder isn’t cheap, and if you’re paying less than $12-to-15 per pound as a consumer, you’re probably buying junk.
Whey Concentrate is made with premium whey from cows never treated with rBST, a synthetic hormone used to boost milk production. It’s also blended with sunflower lecithin so it mixes more easily without clumping or clotting.
Whey Concentrate also contains no artificial sweeteners, flavoring, food dyes, fillers, soy, gluten, GMOs, MSG, or other unnecessary junk.
How much whey protein can I consume per day?
There's no hard and fast rule about how much whey protein you can or should consume per day. Whey protein powder can be used anytime to help you meet your protein needs, but the ideal ratio between whole food and supplemental protein is still an area of scientific ambiguity.
Anecdotal evidence, however, suggests that getting at least 50% of your daily protein from whole food sources is a good rule of thumb.
Does eating whey protein after a workout help you build muscle faster?
Yes, it's true that eating whey protein after a workout can help you build muscle faster. It’s a good idea to eat 30-to-40 grams of protein within an hour or two of finishing a workout, and whey protein is a perfectly viable, convenient, and tasty option. Studies show that protein eaten after a workout causes more muscle protein synthesis than when eaten otherwise.
If Whey Concentrate is too sweet/strong tasting or isn't sweet enough, what should you do?
If Whey Concentrate is too sweet/strong for you, increase the amount of water you're using until you find an amount that works for you. (Most people like 8 to 10 ounces.) And if it isn’t sweet enough, decrease the amount of water you’re using.
Is Whey Concentrate gluten-free? Soy-free?
Yes.
Is Whey Concentrate vegetarian friendly?
Yes.
What does the Prop65 warning on the label mean?
Our products include a Proposition 65 warning in compliance with California’s regulatory guidelines, which are among the most stringent and sweeping in the world.
A Proposition 65 warning does not indicate whether a product is safe or unsafe. Rather, Proposition 65 is a consumer notification law in California that requires warnings to inform consumers about the presence of one or more of over 900 substances in various types of products. These substances include naturally occurring and ubiquitous compounds, even when present at levels below those known to cause harm.
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 we use the natural sweetener stevia instead.↑

Whey protein concentrate is made from fresh dairy whey and undergoes specialized filtration to reduce fat and lactose while preserving protein quantity and quality.↑
3.
The milk used to produce Whey Concentrate comes from cows raised on dairy farms in New Mexico and Wisconsin. It’s certified rBST-free, meaning the cows were never given artificial growth hormones to boost milk production.↑
4.
The primary reason we need to eat protein to gain and retain muscle is to obtain the 9 essential amino acids (EAAs) our body can't synthesize.
And research shows that proteins rich in EAAs, like whey, stimulate muscle growth and repair most effectively.↑

Why the $80 minimum purchase amount for free shipping?
To quench our piggish lust for grubby profits in the eternal service of the dread lord Mammon?
Kind of. But not really. Because here's the truth:
Single-item orders are so blasted expensive to ship that we make very little profit on them. And no profits make the bean counters lose their marbles.
But when you order just one more item, it only costs us a few dollars more to ship both of them to you. Add a third item, and it's just a few more shekels to ship.
And that allows us to make a profit. Which keeps the bean counters happier than a hammer in a nail factory.
So, if it pleases your Grace, we humbly request your mercy and patronage notwithstanding the vexing free shipping minimum.

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 products for purity and potency in accredited third-party laboratories (to conclusively verify safety and efficacy)
Manufactures final products in America (which has some of the strictest regulations in the world)
Which is exactly what we do here at Legion.
Did you know that some supplements contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?
That’s why we rigorously test every ingredient in each of our supplements for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants, ensuring they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.
While artificial sweeteners, food dyes, and fillers 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 we use natural sweeteners like stevia, erythritol, and monk fruit instead as well as natural coloring and flavoring derived from fruits and other foods.
Research shows that these ingredients are not only safe but can also confer several health benefits, including better nutrient absorption, healthy cholesterol and inflammation levels, and more.
The proprietary blend 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.
