Protein Blends

Protein Blends Built for Sustained Nutrition

Protein blends are formulated to support consistent protein intake throughout the day.

By combining multiple protein sources with different digestion rates, protein blends help provide a more gradual release of amino acids compared to fast-absorbing options like whey protein isolate.

At 1st Phorm, we offer two protein blends:

Level-1

A smooth, high-quality whey protein concentrate. Level-1 provides sustained-release protein to help support muscle repair and recovery.

Vegan Power Pro

A clean, plant-based protein blend sourced from pea and rice protein. Free from artificial sweeteners and packed with essential nutrients for additional support.

These protein powders are designed to be used anytime. Many people use them with breakfast, between meals, or in the evening. They're a practical option to help support long-term consistency.

What Protein Blends Are Used For

Protein blends are often used to support protein intake. On top of that, protein blends can help support:

• Sustained amino acid delivery (1)
• Muscle repair and maintenance between meals (2)
• Recovery outside of workouts and overnight (2)

Protein blends are designed to digest more slowly. For this reason, they're often used for general daily use rather than rapid absorption.

Some people even like including protein blends as an ingredient in their favorite recipes and baked goods.

How Protein Blends Work

Protein blends work by combining proteins that digest at different speeds.

Many protein blends include whey protein concentrate, which digests more slowly than isolate, along with other complementary protein sources. This allows amino acids to be released over time instead of rapidly.

This sustained digestion makes protein blends a strong option for:

• Daily shakes
• Protein replacement or additions
• Evening or before-bed protein intake
• Recipes and as a mix-in

Protein Blends FAQs

What are protein blends used for? 

Protein blends are used to support daily protein intake and provide sustained amino acid delivery. They can be a great option when whole-food protein isn’t available or convenient.

How are protein blends different from whey protein isolate? 

Protein blends typically contain whey protein concentrate and other complementary protein sources that digest more slowly than whey protein isolate. This slower digestion helps support a more sustained release of amino acids over time (2).

Can protein blends support muscle recovery? 

Protein blends can support muscle recovery by supplying amino acids over longer periods. Some people will use them between meals and on rest days for extra protein to support the recovery process (2).

When is the best time to use protein blends? 

Protein blends are commonly used during the day, between meals, or in the evening. After workouts, whey protein isolate is often chosen in its place for the sake of quicker recovery.
