Protein shouldn't feel like compromise

Heavy, bloating, hard to digest

Protein that fills you up and weighs you down isn't doing your gut any favours. It isn't a habit — it's a chore.

Worse results, every time

Low EAAs and poor absorption mean less muscle growth and more muscle loss. You're working hard, your protein isn't.

Drinks like wet sand

Thick, gritty, grainy, chalky. Loads of words. None of them good. So you went back to dairy — because at least it works.

  • Light, clear and refreshing — not another chalky shake

    Mix it with cold water for a refreshing boost, not a thick shake — drink something you actually enjoy.

  • All 9 essential amino acids — and loads of them

    Fast-digesting, with 50% more EAAs than whey in a patent-pending profile — giving your muscles more, faster.

  • Clean, vegan, easy to digest — nothing harsh or artificial

    100% plant-based and easy on your gut — no dairy, no bloating, nothing your body has to fight through.

Not all protein is created equal.

Essential amino acids are the parts of protein your muscles actually need. They trigger the repair process, and fuel it. The more EAAs you get in a balanced ratio, the better you recover, maintain and grow.

Nuscle is 70% EAAs. Whey is around 45%. Pea is around 35%. Same scoop, just more of what does the work.


Your muscles need all nine essential amino acids at once. Run short on one, and the whole response is limited — however much protein you drink.

So we balanced all nine properly, with extra of the ones where more is usually better, like leucine.


Your muscles respond to protein for about three hours after eating, then they close the doors and need to reset. That's the 'muscle-full' effect.

Nuscle is built for that window. The free EAAs hit within 15 minutes to ramp everything up. The complete protein base is hydrolysed, or pre-broken-down, so you absorb more of it, faster. This keeps levels topped up for the next three hours. Then it clears, ready for your next dose.


Only two in every three grams of most whole plant proteins are even absorbed. 30 grams actually means 20.

In Nuscle, the free EAAs need no digesting at all, they're straight through to your muscles. The protein base is fermented and pre-broken-down. It's already digested before you eat it, so your body absorbs more of it, faster.

So your muscles use more of the protein, and you don't have to work for it.

In short. More benefit from less protein, and none of the drawbacks.

Read the science

More muscle. Less protein.

Fast-digesting EAA-enriched protein is consistently shown to deliver far more benefit — for the same amount of protein.

From the founder

Years in clinical fitness taught me exactly what the body needs, and I couldn't find it anywhere.

I'm Laurence. I'm a clinical physiologist and nutritionist who's spent over 10 years working for healthcare providers, helping people eat, move and feel better. I love this stuff.

After studying nutrition as a post-grad I knew protein inside out, but I still couldn't find a plant protein that got it right.

So I got together with a few researchers from the UK and the Netherlands, and we started building something that we would take ourselves. Two years later, we had Nuscle.

Hydrolysed pea protein

Pea has one of the best plant-based amino acid profiles for human tissues. Ours is pre-fermented and broken-down through hydrolysis so that more can be used and absorbed. Non-GMO and always tested for purity and contamination.

Hydrolysed rice protein

Included to fill pea protein's key amino acid gaps like methionine and cysteine. Creating a full profile of all 20 amino acids, much better than pea alone. Again, it's pre-fermented, hydrolysed, non-GMO and always tested.

Essential amino acids

The 9 that your body can't make but desperately needs. Vegan, and in a patent-pending ratio. Creating a high-EAA and complete profile that's designed to be the best, even for those who are older, dieting, training hard, or overstressed.

Essential amino acids

Salt

The sodium in salt has key roles in hydration and electrolyte balance — especially during exercise. We use a very small amount in salt form to help mask bitter amino acids and bring out those fruity flavours.

Salt

L-ornithine

A key non-essential amino acid in our bodies, known to reduce fatigue by helping us clean waste products from our cells. It's also a potent bitter-blocker, which we use in Nuscle to balance the taste profile.

L-ornithine

Silica

Silica is a critical mineral for our bones, connective tissues, skin, hair, and nails. We use it to control foaming and keep the powder flowing freely.

Silica

Sunflower lecithin

A healthy fat sourced from sunflower seeds known to benefit heart and brain health. We use it to coat and granulise some of the Nuscle's ingredients, helping them dissolve and mix cleanly into water with minimal clumping or residue.

Natural flavours

Flavour extracts from real fruit to give a clean, refreshing taste without artificial flavouring compounds. If we don't want to eat them, we don't want it in Nuscle.

Natural flavours

Natural colours

Plant-derived colourants like yellow-orange curcumin and red-purple anthocyanins. No synthetic dyes. If we don't want to see them on the back, we didn't want you to either.

Natural colours

MCT oil

Medium-chain triglycerides are fast-digesting healthy fats from coconut. They ignore normal digestion and are quickly used for ketone energy — leading to research into its effects on brain function. In Nuscle, we use it as a natural anti-foaming agent.

MCT oil

Citric acid

The most common acid in lemons, but also used in our bodies for energy production and many other processes. We use it to balance flavour, foaming and acidity — giving Nuscle its light, refreshing finish.

Citric acid

Malic acid

The most common acid in apples, already used in our bodies to clear waste products out of cells and tissues. Naturally it has a softer, more-rounded tang. It works with citric acid to create a smoother flavour.

Monk fruit

A natural, zero-calorie sweetener made from monk fruit. Studied for its positive effect on blood pressure. It gives a clean sweetness without sugar, anything artificial, or that stevia aftertaste.

Have a question?

Why is Nuscle juice-style protein different from regular protein?

+

Well, Nuscle is the first vegan EAA-enriched clear protein.

It's a complete protein with all 9 EAAs and has an EAA content over 50% higher than whey, matching whey's fast absorption speed through extended hydrolysation. This places it far above other plant or animal proteins that are digest slowly, have lower bioavailability, are often incomplete or are low in EAAs.

Unlike traditional shakes, it's also a clear protein — mixing with water like a juice or sports drink rather than a thick, milky shake. It's lighter, easier to drink, and doesn't cause the bloating many people get from dairy or other plant proteins.

What is hydrolysed protein and why is it used?

+

Hydrolysis is the natural enzymatic breakdown of proteins into smaller protein peptides that occurs in our digestive system.

This significantly increases solubility, absorption speed, and bioavailability. On its own this has limited use, but when combined with EAA-enrichment it allows more amino acids to be absorbed and utilised in a more controlled timeframe over the 3-hour muscle window after consumption.

Hydrolysis also produces bioactive peptides that are being investigated for their potent biological effects on our bodies — this is why people buy hydrolysed collagen peptides, although collagen is an incredibly weak poor protein source overall.

What are EAAs and why are they added?

+

In short, essential amino acids (EAAs) are the nine amino acids your body can't produce on its own. They're the signals and building blocks your muscles need for repair and growth.

Adding them directly to create enriched protein means we can get the many benefits of both fast-digesting EAAs and whole proteins.

This way we can increase total EAA content, build a more effective and balanced EAA profile, and curate amino acid ratios to ensure benefits are maximised for a range of ages, lifestyles and health states.

How many servings are there in a pouch?

+

Each pouch gives you 30 scoops. That works out to:

  • 30 single doses — Each one matches 15g of whey protein or 20g of pea protein.
  • 15 double doses — Enough EAAs to hit what your muscles can actually use in one go.

Can I drink more than one dose a day?

+

The effects of protein and amino acid supplementation have been shown to increase with more frequent intakes and have no over-supplementation risks under normal circumstances. So have as many doses as you want each day!

Does vegan clear protein cause bloating or digestive issues?

+

We have people with sensitive guts on the team so we've made sure to formulate Nuscle in a gut-friendly way.

There are no sugar-alcohols, artificial additives or fermentable carbohydrates in Nuscle. The protein base is pre-fermented and pre-broken down through hydrolysis to make it less heavy for the digestive system.

However, if you have a sensitivity to protein then please speak to your doctor if you're worried. If you do experience any symptoms and you're concerned then of course see your doctor!

How much protein is in each dose?

+

Each single dose (13.5g) gives you 10g of bioavailable complete protein, with a 70% EAA content. It is designed to match 15g of whey, or 20g of pea.

Each double dose (27g) gives you 20g of that same protein. This dose contains enough EAAs to maximally stimulate muscle protein responses, even in people who may respond less strongly, such as those who are aging or under high levels of stress.

For comparison, 100% pure whey, pea, hemp and collagen proteins contain around 40%, 30%, 27% and 16% EAAs respectively.

Are there any sugars or artificial additives?

+

Every ingredient in Nuscle is naturally-occurring and non-artificial. There is no added sugar, only natural trace amounts.

More than 300 different artificial sweeteners, flavours, preservatives, emulsifiers and other additives are commonly used in supplements, from big and small brands alike. We shouldn't have to consume them to get maximum benefit from a protein.

Is there anything harmful in it?

+

Nuscle is free of common compounds like dairy hormones, animal antibiotics, and soy oestrogens — every ingredient in Nuscle is also third-party tested for contaminants like heavy metals, moulds and farming chemicals.

When and how should I take it?

+

When and how do I take it?

Nuscle works anytime you need a protein boost. Here's when it helps most:

  • With meals or snacks — One scoop upgrades a meal that's light on high-quality protein.
  • Between meals — One scoop keeps your muscles fed during long meal gaps, like mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
  • During workouts — One scoop protects your muscle during long or hard training.
  • After workouts — Two scoops maximise recovery for the whole 3-hour window.
  • Before bed — Two scoops to keep your muscles maintaining and repairing while you sleep.

How to make it:

  • Single dose: 1 scoop in 250–300ml cold water. Shake, stir or blend until smooth.
  • Double dose: 2 scoops in 500–600ml cold water. Shake, stir or blend until smooth.

Tip: The best time to take Nuscle is whenever you'll actually stick to it. Mornings and evenings tend to be the easiest to build into a routine — try pairing it with breakfast or your last meal of the day.

Does it mix easily?

+

Powders like most essential amino acids and many plant peptides naturally repel water, making them normally hard to mix.

We use a combination of acidity, dispersion, microencapsulation and agglomeration so that they become wet and dissolve immediately. Here are the short versions:

  • Acidity - We ensure that the acidity of Nuscle is controlled close to the point where it will help to dissolve the amino acids most.
  • Dispersion - We blend poorly-mixing ingredients with ultra-soluble ingredients so that they wet more easily.
  • Microencapsulation - We trap the most difficult ingredients in a ultra-thin lipid-layer or liposome, made from natural healthy fats, which increases solubility (and eliminates any off-tastes!).
  • Agglomeration - Clumps very fine dusty particles into large porous granules that let water in easily. This is why it feels a bit sandy between your fingers.

This combination mostly instantises the powder making it easy to mix.

Can I use it if I take other supplements?

+

Yes. There are no ingredients in Nuscle that risk over-supplementation or commonly interact with regular supplements.

If you're concerned as with any supplement we would advise checking with your GP first!
