Explore the latest insights and innovation in whey protein

Our Focus Areas

We have been researching the benefits of whey protein for decades.

In addition to the widely recognised whey protein benefits for the growth and maintenance of lean muscle mass and satiety, we have conducted pre-clinical and clinical studies in the following areas:

  • Metabolic & performance outcomes
  • Glycaemic management
  • Appetite modulation
  • Maintenance of lean muscle mass in ageing populations
  • Inflammation & immunity
  • Nutritional support for muscle mass, recovery and exercise performance gains

Our Future Focus Areas

We continue to diversify our portfolio to include fermented proteins, which can help with maintaining a healthy microbiome, focusing on microbial diversity & recovery, gut permeability & inflammation and overall positive digestive health and comfort.
