People are becoming more and more health conscious these days and the nutrition market is thriving with several nutritional and dietary supplements. The most famed of these are the protein supplements such as whey proteins.
With almost 70% of the Indians lacking in protein, there are many brands that have come up with protein supplements to meet the rising demand. However, most people find it tough to figure out which one is the best for them.
Though all protein supplement manufacturing companies claim that their products are the best, it is not the case. Some products are high on sugar or sucralose while others may contain protein from sources like soy which act as an allergen. Some of them might also be made out of inferior quality ingredients.
On my quest for the perfect protein supplement for me, something that gives more than just protein, I stumbled upon OZiva Protein & Herbs shake.
A quick 1-minute analysis helped me figure out that it has high quality whey protein blended with ayurvedic herbs and essential vitamins & minerals.
