🧠 How It Works

GNC’s whey blend delivers fast‑digesting protein that supplies your muscles with amino acids right when they’re needed most — especially after resistance training or intense workouts. Whey is rich in branched‑chain amino acids (BCAAs) that help trigger muscle protein synthesis and support recovery.

Protein powder can also be used any time you need to boost your daily protein intake — like first thing in the morning, between meals, or as part of a smoothie. The whey blend makes it versatile and easy to mix.
