What makes ours better

  • Our 5 gram serving of nine essential amino acids is equivalent to approximately 30 grams of whey protein, but with a fraction of the calories, to help you build or maintain muscle mass without adding unnecessary calories into your diet.
  • 1100 mg of L-Leucine supports regulation of cellular processes like protein synthesis, metabolism, and tissue regeneration, which is how damaged tissues in your body repair and renew themselves.*
  • Our plant-based formula mimics the effectiveness of its dairy alternatives, minus the higher risk of digestive distress for those with lactose intolerance.*
  • We skip excess fillers and sugar-laden additives because we believe in focusing on active ingredients that will give you results.*

Who needs it

Anyone looking to support athletic activity, promote recovery, fill nutritional gaps and build or maintain their #gains over time.*

Why it matters

Muscle mass decreases as we age.* After age 30, we lose from 3-5% per decade, making it even more critical to preserve strength and promote lean muscle growth.* Essential amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and getting enough of them can help you keep feeling strong and continue doing what you love.*

Blueshift's Commitment to Sustainability

We are constantly striving to better support the health of our customers and the planet, including:

  • Opting for Organics — Organic plants are healthier for you* and for the soil they’re grown in.** That's why we choose organic ingredients wherever possible.
  • Reducing Plastic — The most effective way to reduce waste is to create less of it in the first place. We're proud that each of our pods uses less than half the plastic in just the caps of the water and beverage bottles we seek to replace.
