Bone Broth Protein Powders: For Pushing It Real Good
Bone Broth Protein Powders for Getting the Most Out of Your Body
In a country where “no worries” is a way of life and health trends can change quicker than the surf at Bondi, you might be scratching your head at how bone broth ended up in your protein powder. Aren’t protein powders strictly the domain of whey? Well, friends, it’s time to expand your protein horizons.
Protein Powders: From Gym Kicks to Servo Snacks
Gone are the days when your protein came solely from a slab of steak or a chunk of cheese. Now, even at the local servo, you’re greeted with a line up of protein bars that look like something from a children’s party. Protein is the star of every snack, promising satiety, strength, and the illusion that eating something that lends itself to seeming vaguely healthy will somehow cancel out your lack of sleep after indulging your binge-watching habits. But if you’re reaching for a quick fix, beware! Many of these bars are sweetened to the point where you may as well have grabbed a Mars Bar.
You might also have a dusty tub of whey protein lurking somewhere in your pantry from that time you got “serious” about lifting. If that sounds familiar, it might be time to try something new. Enter bone broth powder—yes, it’s not just something your nan brewed up after the Sunday roast anymore.
Why Bone Broth Powder? Quality Matters
Here at WillPowders, we believe in choosing ingredients with both function and form. Every ingredient in our bone broth protein powders earns its spot. Here’s why our bone broth powder makes the cut:
- Grass-Fed, Scandinavian Cattle: Our bovine bone broth powder is sourced from the happy, grass-fed cattle of Scandinavia, ensuring top-notch quality. Cattle raised on grass provide a cleaner source of protein with fewer unwanted residues.
- Complete Amino Acid Profile: Bone broth powder contains a full complement of essential amino acids.
- No Odour or Taste: This powder isn’t about to hijack your smoothie or pancakes with any weird smells or tastes - so fret not!
- Keto-Friendly & Packed with Macrominerals: Zero carbs here, m’lovelies, just protein and minerals that your body absorbs easily.
The Sweet Life Without the Sugar
We’re hardwired to love sweet things—it’s practically a birthright. That said, there’s no need to indulge a sweet tooth with hidden sugars in your protein powder. Sugar goes by many names, but if it ends in -ose, it’s still sugar. The sneaky devils to look out for include:
- Fructose: The natural sugar in fruits.
- Glucose: Found in carbs.
- Sucrose: The infamous combo of glucose and fructose.
- Dextrose: This one comes from corn or wheat.
- Maltose: Present in grains, making your breakfast cereal not as innocent as it seems.
Natural or not, an overload of refined sugar can cause issues like insulin resistance. FSANZ rightly recommends limiting sugar intake to protect against these long-term effects, and the studies back them up. Stevia to the Rescue!
To keep things sweet without the sugar crash, we use stevia, a natural sweetener that has a negligible impact on blood sugar levels. Stevia has even been shown to support gut health and encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria .
It Isn’t Just About Muscles, It’s About the Fascia Too
Your muscles aren’t floating around in your body uncontained—they’re held in place by connective tissue called fascia. Bone broth powder as a supplement could be great for fascia support because it contains collagen, a vital structural protein. Strong fascia means better support for your muscles, especially if you’re into resistance training or just trying to haul groceries up a flight of stairs without breaking a sweat.
We’ve also added Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen Peptides to our product range. Bovine collagen peptides are highly bioavailable and heat-stable, so you can mix them into hot or cold drinks and get the full benefit without compromising on taste.
Foods, Feels, and Flavours
Our protein powders aren’t just packed with nutrients; they also come with a creamy texture that’s genuinely satisfying. We achieve this with two simple ingredients: grass-fed butter and natural flavours. Grass-fed butter adds a delightful mouthfeel while offering essential nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin K2, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Of course, most people love chocolate. Unfortunately, it’s often combined with sugar, which dampens the properties of cocoa’s natural phytonutrients. We also do a lovely line in Vanilla flavour.
Acing Amino Acids for Peak Performance
While whey protein is a relative newcomer to the protein scene, bone broth has been around since the dawn of time — long before anyone was counting reps. If you want a complete amino acid profile with none of the weird additives, bone broth powder is your best bet. It’s clean, nutritious, and free from hidden extras. No more deciphering cryptic labels or wondering if you’re secretly drinking a dessert disguised as a supplement.
Mix. Drink. Done.
