Collection: Whey Protein

Getting enough protein every day matters if you train, want to build muscle, or simply want a simple way to stay on track. Whole foods do the heavy lifting, but real life gets in the way. Whey protein is the easy fix: quick to mix, easy to use, and built around one job, helping you hit your daily protein target consistently.

Per4m Whey is made for people who care about results but refuse to drink something that tastes like compromise. Expect rich, dessert-inspired flavours, smooth texture, and a protein blend designed to fit around training and everyday nutrition.

Why whey works

Whey is a complete, high-quality protein derived from milk, meaning it contains all essential amino acids. It’s popular because it digests efficiently and fits easily around training, whether that’s a post-workout shake, a quick breakfast upgrade, or a high-protein snack when you’re short on time.

If your goal is muscle, performance, or staying consistent with nutrition, whey is one of the most practical tools you can add to your routine.

Who whey protein is for

• Strength training: If you lift, protein intake is part of the job. Whey makes it easier to hit your daily number without forcing extra meals.
  
• Busy schedules: When you miss meals or meals are low on protein, a shake plugs the gap in seconds.
  
• Cutting or getting leaner: Higher protein diets are commonly used to support muscle while calories are lower, and whey is a low-effort way to keep intake consistent.
  
• New to protein powder: If texture or taste has put you off before, this range is built to change your mind.
  

How much protein do you actually need?

It depends on body weight, training volume, and goals. For active people, a widely used evidence-based range is roughly 1.4 to 2.0g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day. For someone who weighs 70kg, that’s about 98 to 140g per day.

Per serving, a simple target is 20 to 40g of high-quality protein, then spread intake across the day. That usually works better than trying to cram everything into one mega shake.

One useful reality check: more isn’t always better. A large meta-analysis found that benefits from higher total intake tend to plateau around ~1.6g per kilogram per day for resistance training outcomes, so consistency beats chasing extreme numbers.

When to take whey protein

After training: A shake post-workout is popular because it’s convenient and easy to get down when appetite is low.

At breakfast: If your mornings are usually light on protein, whey is the fastest upgrade. Mix it into oats, yoghurt, smoothies, or coffee-style shakes.

Between meals: Useful when you need something quick that supports your day without cooking.

Any time you’ll stick with: Total daily intake matters more than perfect timing. If a shake at 3pm is what keeps you consistent, that’s the right time.

How to use whey beyond shakes

• Oats and porridge: Mix in after cooking to keep texture smooth.
  
• Yoghurt bowls: Stir through for a thicker, dessert-like finish.
  
• Smoothies: Easy way to add protein without changing your routine.
  
• Baking and pancakes: Great for higher-protein treats that don’t feel like diet food.

FAQs

What is whey protein powder?

Whey protein is a concentrated protein source derived from milk. It’s processed to remove much of the fat and carbohydrate, leaving a powder that mixes into shakes and recipes. It’s popular because it’s a complete protein and fits easily around training and day-to-day nutrition.

How many scoops should I take per day?

Most people use 1 to 2 servings daily, depending on how much protein they’re already getting from meals. The goal isn’t to live on shakes, it’s to use whey to cover gaps so your daily intake stays consistent.

Is whey better than other proteins?

Whey is popular because it’s high-quality, complete, and convenient. Other options can work just as well if they help you hit your daily target. If you need dairy-free, plant or egg proteins make more sense.

What’s the difference between whey and isolate?

Standard whey typically contains a mix of protein with small amounts of carbs and fat. Isolate is usually filtered further, so it tends to be higher in protein by weight and lower in lactose. If you want a leaner option, check out Isolate Zero.

Can I use whey if I’m lactose intolerant?

Some people with lactose sensitivity do fine with whey, others don’t. If you’re sensitive, you’ll usually do better with an isolate or a non-dairy option. When in doubt, start with a smaller serving and see how you get on.

When’s the best time to have a protein shake?

When it helps you hit your daily target consistently. Post-workout is convenient, breakfast is a common gap, and mid-afternoon is a typical craving window. Timing matters less than total daily intake.

Can I mix whey with creatine?

Yes. Creatine works through consistent daily use, and a shake is an easy place to add it. Just keep it simple and focus on consistency.

Can whey help with fat loss?

Whey can support a fat-loss plan if it helps you stay consistent with protein and makes your nutrition easier to stick to. It won’t override total calories, but it can make the plan feel more manageable.

Is whey only for people who lift weights?

No. It’s just a convenient protein source. If you’re active, busy, or your meals are often low in protein, whey can still be useful.

Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and the maintenance of normal bones.
