The subcategory of clear protein has been around for a tremendously long time and has seen great success throughout the market in Europe. During the recent increase in popularity, the light and refreshing approach to protein powder has spread across the globe into other major regions like Australia, India, and South America. In this post, we head to Japan, where one of its major players has reapproached the trend.
Now available in that part of the world is Clear Whey Protein from the heavy nutritional supplement company, Ultora. It already had one available by way of Clear Fresh Protein, with Clear Whey Protein being a fair bit different. At its core, it follows the traditional approach of clear protein with whey isolate as the source of protein, providing 21g of the muscle-building macro per serving, 5g of carbohydrates, almost no fat, and 106 calories.
Where things get different in Ultora’s Clear Whey Protein is that, in addition to the lean, premium, and fast-absorbing whey isolate, there are added BCAAs to further enhance muscle protein synthesis and improve muscle recovery. It’s reinforced with a variety of vitamins, like Clear Fresh Protein; it’s the BCAAs that separate the product, and it’s debuted in Grape and Orange flavors priced at ¥4790 (31.41 USD) for a bag of 14 servings.
