                     What are Protein Powders
There are plenty of protein powders in Indian market such as Nutrabay 
Whey Protein, MuscleBlaze Whey Protein, ON Gold Whey Protein, 
Oziva Plant-Based Protein, etc. With so many protein powders in the

What are Protein Powders?
Protein powders are used by people as a protein supplement to build muscle and 
lose weight. They are made from sources like milk (whey and casein), plant-
based, etc. There are unflavoured and flavoured options in the market. Things to 
look for while selecting the protein supplement:
• Source: Select the best protein source for you. There are a few such as plant-
based, dairy, meat, etc. If you are allergic to soy, you should check out options 
from other sources. Similarly if you have lacrosse intolerance then you should 
not opt for whey protein.  
• Ingredients: Some products have artificial sweeteners, sugars, vegetable fats 
and oils, etc. Some brands also add fillers to increase the weight of the product. 
Others use milk solids in their powders. Avoid such ingredients in the powders.

flavoured options contain artificial colors and flavours and these are 
known as additives.
