Yes, there are several types of protein powder available. Some common protein types include whey protein (both isolate and concentrate), casein protein, egg protein, and plant-based proteins like pea protein, rice protein, hemp protein, soy protein, and collagen protein. Each type of protein has its own unique amino acid profile and benefits, and the best natural protein powder will depend on your needs. Kissed Earth specialises in collagen protein powders, which offer a range of benefits for skin, hair, nails, and joint health in addition to muscle support. We also offer Vegan protein powders, made with a nourishing organic fermented pea and Australian faba bean protein base with added probiotics, amino acids, organic fibre and mineral salts.

When choosing the best natural protein powder for your needs, it is important to consider your personal needs and preferences, for example, any dietary restrictions, fitness goals, taste preferences, digestion issues or preferences, and any additional health benefits you may be seeking. Kissed Earth's collagen protein powders are a good protein powder choice for those looking to support not only muscle health but also skin, hair, and joint health. Our products are made with high-quality, natural ingredients and come in various flavours to suit different tastes.

The quantity of protein powder you should take daily depends on your body weight, activity level, and fitness goals. A general recommendation is to start with around 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. For athletes or those looking to build muscle, this may increase to up to 2 grams per kilogram. However, everybody is different, and it is important to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist to ensure you receive tailored nutrition advice. 

While we personally believe there’s no bad time for adding protein powder to your daily routine, a few times throughout the day can be particularly beneficial. We recommend consuming your natural protein powder at the following times:

• Post-workout - usually within 30 minutes after exercising to help support muscle recovery
• Breakfast - having a good protein powder shake for breakfast can help to start your day with a protein boost
• Between meals - using protein powder in your snacks can help to maintain your energy levels and protein intake throughout the day

When it comes to Kissed Earth’s collagen protein powders, our top advice is to focus on consistency no matter the time. Incorporating our natural protein powder into your daily routine, whether in the morning or the evening, will provide a range of benefits. 

One of our favourite things about protein powder is its versatility. Our natural protein powders can be simply added to water or milk for a quick shake or blended into smoothies, added to your breakfast yoghurt or porridge, stirred into your coffee, or even added to any baked goods recipes. Kissed Earth's collagen protein powders are particularly easy to incorporate into your daily routine, as they dissolve easily and don't alter the taste of your favourite beverages. For an extra collagen top-up, try one of our collagen sachets.

Yes, protein powder can be an effective supplement as part of a balanced diet and exercise routine. Some of the benefits of a good protein powder include supporting muscle growth and recovery, aiding in weight management, providing essential amino acids for overall health and acting as a convenient source of protein for those with busy lifestyles. Kissed Earth's collagen protein powders offer additional benefits such as improved skin elasticity, stronger hair and nails, and support for joint health.

When protein powder is used as directed, it is generally safe for most people. However, just like any supplement, some people can have adverse reactions such as digestive discomfort, allergic reactions or interactions with existing medication. To ensure you don’t experience any side effects, we recommend starting with a small serving size and increasing your consumption over time. If you have any concerns, we recommend chatting with a healthcare professional before adding protein powder to your diet. 

While protein is absolutely essential during pregnancy, we recommend checking with your healthcare professional before taking any supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If your doctor does recommend a protein supplement for your pregnancy, our products are a great option as they are 100% natural, quality sourced, and don’t contain any artificial nasties. Please note that Marine Collagen is not safe to consume during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to shellfish being an allergen.
