Product FAQs

Consuming protein immediately after you exercise is best. This is when the body is most effective at absorbing nutrients and aiding recovery. Just don't forget to ensure the total protein you consume throughout the day is adequate.

The amount of protein consumed each day depends on an individual’s training and goals. However, a good standard to aim for is 2g of protein for every kilogram of bodyweight. For example, someone who weighs 80kg and exercises 2-3 times a week should consume approximately 160g of protein each day. The minimum amount of protein an athlete should aim for is 1.5g per kg of bodyweight.

Both are delicious. Both deliver a big hit of protein. It all comes down to personal preference .

Enriched with Collagen to support ligament and bone strength.

Tendoforte collagen is a bioactive collagen peptide supplement specifically designed to support the health and quality of ligaments and tendons. It's not a specific type of collagen (like Type I or Type II), but rather a formulation of specific peptides that are derived from collagen and have been shown to promote the production of new collagen in tendon and ligament tissues.

All of the protein powders are ‘formulated without gluten’ which means that there is no gluten in the raw materials that are used when making it and also the manufacturing lines are gluten free.

Because we don’t test the final product for gluten, we cannot guarantee that they are gluten free – however the chance of cross contamination with gluten is highly unlikely.

Absolutely! While Athena products are thoughtfully designed with women in mind, men can definitely enjoy and benefit from the whole range too.

What makes Athena different is how we’ve tailored our products based on real science. We looked closely at the biological differences of women and created sports nutrition that supports those specific needs.

Take iron, for example. Everyone needs it, but women aged 18–50 typically need more than twice as much as men.* That’s because women lose iron not only through sweat and high-impact exercise, but also through their menstrual cycles.

That’s why our Protein Shake delivers 20g of high-quality protein PLUS it also includes 25% of your recommended daily intake of iron.*

So yes, men are more than welcome to enjoy Athena too, but it’s our focus on women’s unique needs that truly sets us apart.
