Familiar protein sources in these supplements include whey protein, casein, soy protein, egg protein, milk protein, and plant proteins such as peas. Protein supplements usually do not contain added sugars or artificial sweeteners, which can negatively affect energy levels and metabolism. They also avoid the addition of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Instead, protein supplements are often sweetened with natural sweeteners such as stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit and flavored with natural flavors. In addition, protein supplements do not usually contain gluten, lactose, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), making them suitable for people with special dietary needs or allergies. Protein supplements are popular among athletes who want to increase their protein intake and support their athletic goals, such as gaining muscle mass, improving endurance, or speeding up recovery after exercise. They must be combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity to achieve optimal results.
