What is Whey Protein 360? 

Whey Protein 360 is our best-selling protein shake and has been a core part of our range since 2016. 

Over the years, our team of expert nutritionists have innovated and improved the Whey Protein 360 formula inline with real-time feedback from our community. Everything from nutritional density, ingredient quality, efficacy and taste has been crafted with our customers in mind.

The range comes in three tiers: BLACK Innovation™, GOLD Innovation™ and PLATINUM Innovation™. Each tier builds on the last, adding more protein, more micronutrients, and more active ingredients. All three share the same commitment to premium-grade ingredients, a complete amino acid profile including all 9 essential amino acids, and no added sugar. 

Whey Protein 360 - GOLD Innovation™ is a nutritionally dense protein shake, while Whey Protein 360 - PLATINUM Innovation™ is the most nutritionally complete option in the range.
