A quality source of protein to support muscle regeneration and growth
hyve WPC is a whey protein for all athletes. It helps to replenish quality proteins after training and support regeneration, growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
24g protein
Without artificial sweeteners and flavors
Made using the CFM method
Versatile protein for everyday use
Protein intake is crucial for athletes because it supports muscle growth and regeneration, helps maintain muscle mass during exercise, and contributes to faster recovery after exercise - whether it's strength or endurance training.
What is the ideal daily protein intake for muscle growth?
The recommended daily protein intake for strength athletes is typically 1.6–1.7 g per kilogram of body weight, which is roughly double that of the general population. Furthermore, higher intakes do not provide additional benefits for muscle growth.
What is the ideal daily protein intake for endurance athletes?
Endurance athletes typically need 1.2–1.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. During more demanding periods, such as multi-phase training or stage races, the need may increase to 2.5 g/kg.
100% natural composition for trouble-free digestion
In hyve Whey protein you will find only pure natural ingredients - without artificial sweeteners, colorings and other unnecessary additives such as thickeners. We believe in the power of a simple composition that respects your body and performance. The taste and functionality are the result of carefully selected natural ingredients - nothing more, nothing less.
Further information
hyve Whey protein is a whey protein with a complete spectrum of essential amino acids, high leucine content and fast absorption - ideal for supporting muscle growth and recovery after training.
Full spectrum of EAA is the foundation for growth and regeneration
Protein quality plays a key role in how effectively the body responds to protein intake – it affects the rate and extent of muscle synthesis . High-quality protein is defined by the content of all essential amino acids (EAAs) , sufficient amounts of leucine , and good digestibility and absorbability .
Whey protein , such as hyve Whey Protein, meets all these conditions: it contains a full spectrum of EAA , a high proportion of leucine and is rapidly absorbed , making it an ideal choice for supporting muscle growth and regeneration, especially after physical exertion. The quality of protein is especially crucial when overall protein intake is lower or for athletes with irregular eating patterns - in these cases, it is not only the amount that matters, but also the type of protein consumed.
The importance of protein for endurance athletes
Protein isn't just for building muscle mass - for endurance athletes, it plays a key role in regeneration, repairing damaged muscle structures, and supporting the production of mitochondrial proteins , which are essential for efficient energy use during prolonged exercise. After training, the muscle environment is set not for volume growth, but for rebuilding and increasing endurance , which requires sufficient available amino acids , especially leucine .
A fast-absorbing protein , such as whey, is an ideal choice for accelerating recovery and improving adaptation processes . It is recommended to consume about 20 g of protein after training and every 2–3 hours thereafter, possibly in combination with carbohydrates for more comprehensive recovery .
Muscle growth and muscle protein synthesis
Amino acids from protein stimulate muscle synthesis in a dose-dependent manner, but only up to a point – research shows that the optimal dose for maximum stimulation of MPS (muscle protein synthesis) is around 0.25–0.4 g of protein per kg of body weight per serving , i.e., 20–30 g for a 75 kg athlete . Doses above this limit have little additional effect . Leucine , which is found in high concentrations in whey protein, is a key trigger for this process .
A total daily intake of around 1.6 g/kg of body weight appears to be optimal for muscle growth , with higher intakes (up to 2.2 g/kg/day) being beneficial in specific cases but not necessary. hyve Whey Protein offers the ideal way to effectively and without excess support muscle growth and regeneration .
Frequently asked questions
Get the most out of the productThe recommended daily protein intake for active athletes ranges between 1.6 and 2.2 g per kilogram of body weight, with the optimal value for most people being around 1.6 g/kg.
Yes! Endurance athletes typically need 1.2-1.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. During more demanding periods, such as multi-phase training or stage races, the need can increase to 2.5 g/kg.
Yes, so-called master athletes often need higher doses of protein for the same recovery effect. It is recommended to consume up to 1.6–2.0 g of protein per kg of body weight per day and about 40 g of protein after training, especially during heavy exercise.
It depends on your goal. Water provides faster absorption and lower calorie content, while milk slows down digestion and provides more protein and a fuller taste. After training, we recommend water, but during the day or as a snack, you can mix the protein with milk. It always depends on your taste preference.
Whey protein is one of the highest quality protein sources because:
- contains a complete spectrum of essential amino acids (EAA)
- has a high content of leucine, which is key for muscle growth and regeneration
- it is quickly absorbed and well digestible
- has a high biological value – the body can use it very effectively
Yes, but it depends on the context. If a child or adolescent athlete has a balanced diet, they should get most of their protein from regular foods. Hyve Protein may be especially suitable for children and adolescent athletes if:
- Does the athlete have higher energy and nutritional needs?
- not having time to eat before or after training
- needs a fast and easily digestible source of protein
However, it is always advisable to take into account age, weight, training intensity and ideally consult your intake with a nutritionist or doctor.
Our whey comes from the Netherlands.
hyve Whey Protein is universal - in addition to a classic shake with water or milk, you can also add it to:
- oatmeal or rice porridge
- smoothie with fruit or nut butter
- pancakes, fritters or mug cake
- yogurt or cottage cheese
- homemade protein bars or balls
