Why High-Protein Meals Matter for Performance & Recovery
Your workout doesn’t begin with your first rep—and it doesn’t end the moment you rack the weight. Training breaks down muscle fibers; protein helps repair and rebuild them stronger.
Protein provides:
- Essential amino acids for muscle growth
- Fuel during long or intense training sessions
- Faster post-workout recovery
- Improved strength and performance
- Support for lean muscle and fat loss
However, reaching your daily protein requirement can be challenging, especially if you're busy or on the go. Using Isoflex Whey Protein Isolate—with 27 g of protein per scoop—makes it easier to reach your goal without extra sugar, fat, or fillers.
