PhD has given its Whey Protein a smart makeover—now it helps sore muscles bounce back while keeping your microbiome in check. And because empty promises aren’t their vibe, the Blackburn-based brand is the first in the UK to bag Informed Protein certification, proving that substance really can outrun the hype.
The newly minted PhD Whey Protein boasts 25 grams of high-quality protein per serving, alongside one billion probiotic Bacillus Coagulans microorganisms – a potent one-two punch for those looking to bolster their workout results and keep their digestive health on track. Available in strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla, it’s not just about flavour; it’s about real, verifiable science.
Dawid Lyszczek, Head of Product Development at PhD Nutrition, isn’t one to mince his words: “PhD’s Whey Protein is better than ever. We are committed to using science to ensure we’re offering the best possible product range to help people reach their fitness goals,” he said.
“We’ve improved our whey protein formula and combined high-quality with scientifically selected microorganisms which may support digestive health.
Gut health is linked to the body’s ability to absorb core nutrients and aid protein synthesis, so this is a win-win for exercisers looking for muscle recovery or growth (from whey protein), whilst supporting their immune system.
All of PhD’s products that have the Informed Protein logo, including Whey Protein, are independently tested and verified by Informed Protein so consumers can have confidence in the quality of our products.”
Informed Protein’s Laboratory Director Paul Brown echoed those sentiments, highlighting the importance of rigorous testing in a market littered with dodgy claims.
“Brands that certify their products with Informed Protein are showing their commitment to ensuring consumers get what they pay for,” Brown stated.
“Informed Protein certification verifies a product’s protein content matches what is listed in the nutritional facts label. Our testing revealed that in the UK market, one in four products overstates its protein content.
Less reputable brands can artificially elevate protein levels in their products through a process known as ‘amino spiking or nitrogen spiking’ through the addition of cheap, lower-grade amino acids. Our lab tests are designed to check for this.
We’re committed to using science for a safer world. We created the Informed Protein programme to verify product label claims and give customers the confidence in the products they are using.”
PhD isn’t interested in shortcuts or smoke-and-mirror marketing. Its pursuit of performance nutrition is rooted in evidence, transparency, and respect for the consumer.
With this new formula, PhD Whey Protein cements itself as more than a post-workout ritual—it’s a testament to what happens when rigorous science meets a no-nonsense approach to quality.
For those wanting to see what the fuss is about, PhD Whey Protein is now available at www.phd.com, ready to fuel your next workout with a clean conscience and a confident gut.
