Protein Powder Recommendations
Here we have listed some good options for protein powder, as well as suggestions as to where you can buy them. There are numerous other good brands, so shop around to find one that you like.
We recommend going for a pure, unsweetened protein powder with no additives.
WHEY PROTEIN
Whey protein is low in lactose and tolerated well by most people, even if lactose intolerant. However, if casein intolerant, you may be best to avoid whey protein powder.
Whey protein isolate is lower in lactose than concentrate, so it's a better option if you're concerned about lactose.
What' great about whey is that it doesn't have much taste and it's very high in protein. It's really great added to smoothies.
Whey can help with detoxification by boosting your glutathione (which is the main antioxidant in our body).
We recommend sourcing a very high quality, unsweetened grass fed and organic whey protein powder.

COLLAGEN OR HYDROLYSED BEEF PROTEIN
Collagen is a good hypoallergenic option for people with sensitivities. The gelatin is especially great if you also suffer from joint pain, as it can help heal tissues. It is also great to heal the gut.
If you have oxalate toxicity, it's important to know that collagen may metabolise into oxalates in some people, especially if you are deficient in vitamin B6.
The great thing about collagen is that it's mostly tasteless, so you can add it to any foods easily without affecting the taste.

HEMP PROTEIN
Hemp is a good vegan option.
It's moderately high in oxalates, so if you are on a low oxalate diet, you may want to avoid it.

PEA AND RICE PROTEIN
Another good vegan option.
However, some people can experience bloating while taking pea or rice protein powder.
There are many good blends of pea and rice protein on the market, such as Seeking Health. Try to source a good organic one.
