Not all protein powders are created equal, particularly when it comes to women’s nutrition. Protein is an essential part of a balanced diet, and combined with a few carefully chosen ingredients, a good powder can support you through different times in your cycle and lifestyle.
All of Free Soul's Protein Powders include added nutrients used to support normal energy levels, keeping you feeling strong and balanced.
For women who prefer something lighter, Free Soul Clear Protein with Marine Collagen takes a different approach, it pairs Whey Protein Isolate with 10g of Marine Collagen Peptides and Vitamin C to support skin, hair and nails alongside your protein goals.
A blend of female health focused ingredients
While protein comes with a wide range of health benefits, the right protein blend can also tap into other wellness-boosting properties. Here are some of the active ingredients in Free Soul protein, specifically chosen for women.
Peruvian Maca
Belonging to the Brassicaceae family, Peruvian Maca has long been used for its positive impact on women’s health.
Typically found in supplements designed to support energy, vitality, and balance, it’s particularly popular with those looking for support during periods of hormonal fluctuation. Some studies have also linked it with influencing mood, focus, and stamina.
Calcium and Magnesium
Calcium and Magnesium supplements are two key players in women’s health, even more so during different phases of the menstrual cycle. Some research has explored their role in aiding physical comfort during this time, with some studies noting that calcium levels tend to be lower in women with PMS.
Magnesium has also been connected with muscle function and mood, so it's no surprise that it’s a popular choice for women seeking support through their cycle. Both nutrients also feature in Free Soul Sculpt, a hybrid Whey and Plant Protein blend designed for women who train, where they contribute to the maintenance of normal bones and muscle function.
Iron
Iron’s role in women’s health is no secret, as its impact on the formation of red blood cells and supporting normal energy levels is well known.
This becomes particularly significant at times when iron needs become higher – like menstruation – and is also commonly used to feel a bit more energised.
Ginseng and Guarana
Ginseng and guarana are two stalwarts of holistic health practices. Ginseng is a particular favourite in herbal blends, thanks to its association with vitality and focus. It has also been studied for its potential role in areas like cognition, blood flow, and even sexual health.
Guarana, a popular source of caffeine, contains a high concentration of bioactive phenolics–plant compounds connected with antioxidant activity. Often used for its stimulating properties, some studies have looked into its capacity to support focus and alertness. If you're after that same calm focus from a different source, Free Soul x PerfectTed Matcha Protein pairs Ceremonial-Grade Matcha with L-Theanine for steady, sustained energy without the spike.
L-carnitine
This is a compound derived from the amino acid lysine and is a familiar face in supplements that support energy metabolism and overall well-being.
It also gets attention for its antioxidant properties and is associated particularly with women's health due to its role in supporting the body during times of hormonal shifts and increased nutrient demand.
