Not all protein powder is created equal. For women, protein can be hugely beneficial for health and with a few added ingredients you can give your body an even bigger boost. From energising ginseng to hormone balancing l-carnitine, Free Soul protein powder can support your body through every stage of your monthly cycle and beyond. 

Here’s what the right protein supplement can do for you.

A blend of female health focused ingredients

While protein comes with a wide range of health benefits, the right protein blend can also tap into other wellness-boosting properties. Here are some of the active ingredients in Free Soul protein, specially formulated for women.

Peruvian Maca

Belonging to the Brassicaceae family, Peruvian Maca has been found to have clinical applications for improving fertility, sexual desire and reducing menopause symptoms. Maca may have balancing effects on female reproductive hormones and is a popular alternative medicine for treating sexual dysfunction.

Maca has also been shown to increase oxygen consumption in the body. It also appears to have a positive effect on depression and can help lower cortisol levels and reduce stress.

Calcium and Magnesium

Both calcium and magnesium supplements may significantly improve PMS and premenstrual symptoms. Studies have found that calcium levels tend to be lower in women with PMS and increasing calcium intake can help to dramatically reduce the severity of PMS symptoms. 

At the same time, research suggests that magnesium can help to treat and prevent PMS and menstrual migraine, as well as diabetes, asthma and preeclampsia in pregnancy. 

Iron

One of the essential elements of blood, iron is a super important mineral for women. Daily iron supplementation has been shown to reduce the prevalence of anaemia and iron deficiency in non-pregnant women. Iron supplementation increases haemoglobin and iron stores, helping to improve energy levels. 

Ginseng and Guarana

Ginseng has also been studied extensively for its potential to improve a range of different health conditions. It has been found to have a positive effect on fatigue, blood circulation and cognition. A 2020 study into the effects of ginseng and vitamin E on sexual function in women found that ginseng enhanced sexual desire and sexual satisfaction, so this ingredient is your friend!

Guarana is known for its high content of bioactive phenolics. It is a popular source of caffeine and can help to improve reaction time and boost accuracy in task performance tests. Guarana may also have benefits for improving cognitive function and protecting against cardiovascular disease.

L-carnitine

L-carnitine has powerful abilities to regulate the female reproductive system. This chemical, derived from the amino acid lysine, helps to promote reproductive hormone secretion and improve hormonal balance

Thanks to its antioxidant properties, L-carnitine also helps to limit oxidative stress in the reproductive system and minimise cell death. As a result, L-carnitine can help to reduce the risk of common reproductive disorders and endometriosis.
