A strong performer for fitness and general protein needs, offering supplementary calcium and sodium.
Quantity: 4Flavour: Strawberry
MuscleTech's Nitro Tech Vanilla is a popular protein supplement featuring whey isolate and peptides, making it highly effective for post-workout recovery and muscle protein synthesis, aligning well with fitness goals. Online reviews frequently praise its mixability and taste, contributing to its consistent popularity. While it provides a good amount of calcium (400mg) and sodium (140mg) from its dairy base, these are supplementary benefits rather than its primary selling point. For comprehensive bone or joint health, or specific cardiovascular needs, more targeted products would be superior. Nutritionists often recommend a balanced diet as the primary source of these minerals, with protein powders filling gaps for active individuals.
- High-quality whey protein for muscle growth and recovery.
- Generally well-reviewed for taste and mixability.
- Contains a noticeable amount of calcium from dairy protein.
- Not primarily formulated for bone, joint, or heart health.
- Price is higher than basic protein concentrates.
- Contains artificial sweeteners and flavors common in protein powders.

Categories
Calcium 65.0
The 400mg of calcium is a good amount for a protein powder, offering a significant contribution to daily calcium needs, though its form (naturally occurring in whey) may not be as concentrated as dedicated calcium supplements.
Sodium 60.0
The 140mg of sodium aids in electrolyte balance, which is beneficial for active individuals, but should be considered in the context of daily sodium intake guidelines.
Goals
Fitness 90.0
As a whey protein isolate, it is highly effective for muscle repair, growth, and recovery, which are central to fitness goals.
General Health 80.0
Protein is a macronutrient essential for overall bodily functions, and its consumption supports general health, immune function, and satiety. The added calcium also contributes to overall well-being.
Bone Health 60.0
The 400mg of calcium is a beneficial addition for bone health, contributing towards daily recommended intake, but it's not a primary bone health supplement, and other forms or higher dosages may be more effective.
