One of my top fave protein blends. I prefer the vegan peanut butter flavor! It mixes well, is not chalky, and comes with 0 tummy issues!
Select Protein | Whey + Casein Blend - PEScience

Cheaper than Tower 28, and can get refills. Hypochlorus acid is that girl for acne prone people. I spray before and after physical activity if I can't get a shower asap. This stuff protects against bacteria sitting on the skin.

If you're sweating up a storm multiple times a week, you need to be adding some sort of electrolytes back in. There are plenty of sugar free and limited ingredient options. I'm lazy and usually opt for liquid iv.

The only supplement I truly stand by. Creatine is naturally produced in your body; however, adding in 3-5mg can be a game changer for muscle growth.
