Which claims are approved?
Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass, to the maintenance of muscle mass, and to the maintenance of normal bones. Those three are authorised and apply to protein generally, whatever the source.
Whey, plant or collagen?
Whey is dairy-derived, contains all nine essential amino acids and is the most established. Plant proteins - pea, rice, hemp, soya, or blends of them - suit vegans and anyone avoiding dairy; blends are used because combining sources improves the amino acid profile. Collagen is a protein but not a complete one, and it does not substitute for whey or a plant blend if muscle mass is what you are after.
How much do you need?
The reference intake is 50g a day and most UK adults already meet it from food. Higher intakes are commonly used alongside resistance training. A powder is a convenience for hitting a target, not a requirement - and it is worth noting that a chicken breast, a tin of beans or a pot of Greek yoghurt do the same job more cheaply.
Comparing products
Check the protein per serving rather than per 100g, since scoop sizes vary widely. Look at what else is in it - some products are heavily flavoured and sweetened, others are single-ingredient. Isolates contain more protein by weight than concentrates and cost more accordingly.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
