Product FAQs

1. Protein

   What’s the preferred storage method and shelf life of Happy Way protein powder?

   ‘We like it dry, cool and closed,’ says Happy Way powder. Try to refrigerate only at around 27 degrees Celsius. As for shelf life, it’s 18 months from creation, and you’ll find the expiration date on the package.

   What about protein powder serving sizes?

   Hmm, that’s a tricky one. Every human person has a different intake and requirement based on their size and level of hunger. It’s best to experiment with the protein powder portions until you find the size that suits! Trying to shed a few kilos? Go for a serving size of 20-30g each time. Want to build muscle? Up the ante and go for 35g or even more.

   Why is Happy Way protein powder so awesome? What benefits am I getting?

   Whey protein powder is super healthy and gives you stellar nutritional value. It’s great for all situations, even when you’re on the run. (Especially when you’re on the run!) Athletes use this as a muscle builder and post-exercise recovery, and people who need more protein in their diet will find this delicious AND nutritious.

   But wait, there’s more! Happy Way protein powder is superb for weight management and immune support. Phytonutrients, vitamin C, antioxidants, oh my!

   But how to best enjoy these delicious protein powder products?

   Well gosh, the choices are really up to you… Raw treats, blended or shaken, get creative! We personally love blending Happy Way protein powder with nuts, fruits and superfoods for next-level amazing. Check out our blog for recipes.

   Is protein powder only for body builders and athletes?

   NOPE. A big no. Everyone can use it. Sure, protein powder has a reputation for being targeted toward athletes and the like, but it’s a great product for everyone. Every single person can integrate whey protein into their diet for healthy, balanced and holistic nutrition options. Who hasn’t been told, at some point, that they need more protein in their diet? Enter Happy Way.

   Does protein powder make me gain weight?

   Again, heck NO. Whey protein is created to promote fat loss as it releases glucagon. At the same time, it inhibits the insulin release into your body. The simple protein digestion process burns calories instead of digesting fats, which makes it great for your body. Change your lifestyle for the better. Still a bit iffy? Consult your nutritionist or doctor.

   Can Happy Way protein powders replace meals?

   You can combine it with oat milk, fruit and other neat stuff, which makes it a great meal replacement. Keep in mind to include greens and wholefoods in order to get the best possible results.

   INGREDIENTS

   Why all this buzz about organic ingredients in protein powder?

   Because they’re natural and healthy, just the way our bodies should be! Organic superfood products have a range of benefits for your body, and our ingredients include potassium, minerals, phytonutrients that aren’t genetically modified in any way.

   Superfoods… another buzz word. What are the benefits?

   Because of the high amount of phytonutrients as well as minerals and vitamins, superfoods are helpful for your body, especially since most types of natural food lack these ingredients. Superfoods bring you all the nutrients you need without the high calorie intake, and at Happy Way, we’re obsessed with them!

   Is your whey protein powder organic?

   Despite the fact that it’s not certified organic, our whey protein brings the benefits of 100% pastures. Since the milk comes from cows that are fed with natural grass on pastures, the whey is hormone-treatment free, GMO-free and pesticide-free.

   Is the whey a raw product?

   Regulations state that the commercial powdered dairy products need to undertake heat pasteurization. The whey we use is minimally processed in order to comply with the rules, and this means that the components can be found in their native forms, specifically in the case of cheese byproducts and milk.

   VEGETARIAN SOLUTIONS

   Is whey protein powder better than vegetable proteins, such as rice or soy?

   Choosing between whey and vegetable protein powders depends on your fitness goals and dietary requirements.

   Whey is milk-based and is packed with essential amino acids to help repair and increase muscle size and strength. Vegetable proteins can help to improve digestion and allergy symptoms, boost metabolism, and enhance environmental stability. Soy, pea, rice, and hemp protein are a great alternative for those wanting to try protein supplements without consuming meat or dairy products!

3. BCAA

   Let’s talk BCAA’s

   Don’t let the acronym intimidate you because branched-chain amino acids are that gym partner that will support you through every step of the process. From pre-workout motivation to endurance and post-workout recovery, BCAAs won’t skip a beat and exist to support and sustain your fitness goals. The best kind of gym partner a girl could ask for. Because BCAAs are in it for the long haul…

   So what are they?

   There are 20 different amino acids that make up the thousands of proteins in our bodies. Without them, we are unable to function at our optimum level.

   Out of the 20 different types of amino acids, nine are essential meaning that our bodies don’t produce them naturally so they must be obtained through diet. Within these nine, BCAAs may be broken down into three essential amino acids, leucine, isoleucine and valine.

   Put simply, BCAAs are the building block of your muscles, which your body does not produce naturally so it asks that you help it out by supplementing these through diet. The best sources of BCAAs include beef, chicken breast, canned tuna, salmon, eggs and of course whey protein powders.

   But as science would have it, the best time to take your BCAAs is within an hour before or after your workout for muscle growth and recovery or during your workout for endurance. So when eating a steak is not ideal during your gym session, BCAA supplements offer the perfect alternative.

   What science says…

   BCAAs make up approximately 40% of the body’s essential amino acids pool, of which around 18% are found in our muscles. Unlike other amino acids, BCAAs are mostly broken down in our muscles instead of our liver, giving them a starring role in energy production during exercise.

   Fatigue reduction

   BCAAs can be likened to a gym partner, the kind that will spot you and help you lift your weights. Studies have shown that taking BCAA supplements can help reduce exercise fatigue by helping reduce the level of serotonin in your brain, a chemical that has been linked to the onset of fatigue during exercise.

   While study results have varied depending on environmental factors and exercise duration, BCAAs have been found to directly support and increase mental focus during exercise.

   Muscle soreness

   Now, if you love the feeling of struggling to walk down the stairs post workout, then this supplement is not for you. But if you prefer to take your recovery more seriously, then read on.

   So how does this work?

   BCAA’s are shown to help both prevent and reduce the severity of muscle soreness by working to lower enzymes such as creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase in the blood. Now, excuse the scientific jargon, but to put it simply, BCAA’s help lower the levels of muscle-damaging enzymes when you exercise.

   Studies have indicated that participants who have taken BCAA’s have reported an average of 30% less muscle soreness.

   Muscle growth

   A claim to fame, BCAAs have been used to help sustain and speed up muscle growth. The BCAA leucine has been shown to activate a pathway in the body, which stimulates muscle protein synthesis.

   One study has found that consuming 5.6grams of BCAAs following resistance training was found to increase muscle protein synthesis by 22%. While this supplement is not intended to replace your protein powder, it is produced to boost its benefits.

   How to take them…

   When it comes to versatility, BCAA’s hold the crown. Add them to your smoothies or mix them up as a light pre-workout drink. Or alternatively use them to beat your 3:30itis for an added boost of energy. As luck would have it, unlike most good things in life, you can never have too much of your BCAA powder.

   Pre-workout: Taking branch chain amino acids before exercise is shown to increase performance, muscle growth and to reduce the onset of DOMS. While studies on dosage have been varied, 10grams per serving is the suggested half an hour prior to your session for optimum results.

   During workout: For a refreshing drink with added benefits, you can use your BCAA during your workout session to help boost endurance and combat exercise fatigue. The minimum dosage to help give you added energy is 4grams per serving.

   Post-workout: The optimum time to take your BCAA is 30minutes to an hour following your workout to help aid in muscle recovery. As branch-chained amino acids are not complete proteins, they are not intended to replace your protein powders but rather to help optimize their benefits. Add your servings of BCAA to your post workout protein shake with a serving of your choice of protein powder, carbohydrates and healthy fats to speed up your recovery and muscle growth.

   Consistency is key

   Like all good things in life, commitment will make all the difference to your results. While you will benefit from taking BCAAs during your workout, it takes an average of 10 days to see the results. To consistently improve your performance, gains and results, you will need to consistently push yourself and not skip your supplements regime.

4. Vegan Protein

   Is whey protein powder better than vegetable proteins, such as rice or soy?

   Choosing between whey and vegetable protein powders depends on your fitness goals and dietary requirements.

   Whey is milk-based and is packed with essential amino acids to help repair and increase muscle size and strength. Vegetable proteins can help to improve digestion and allergy symptoms, boost metabolism, and enhance environmental stability.
