What is EAA-enriched clear protein?

Clear protein is protein that's digested before it reaches you. It's broken down and filtered so it mixes like squash, not a thick and grainy shake. It's light to drink and it's even easier on your gut.

We then add loads of the nine amino acids your body can't make on its own, the stuff that actually matters. In a ratio formulated specifically for human muscle growth and support. Plant proteins are often low on these essential amino acids and usually very short on at least one. That's the main reason it works less well than whey. Loading them back in makes that gap disappear.

The result: You get a drink that absorbs faster, builds more muscle per gram, and doesn't slow you down.

What makes Nuscle different?

Nuscle is the first high-EAA vegan clear protein, complete with all 9 essential amino acids in a patent-pending profile.

Seven grams in every ten are essential amino acids, the ones that build muscle. In whey protein it's four. In pea protein it's three. That's why one scoop does the job of 15g of whey, and 20g of pea.

It took two years to build, with researchers in the UK and the Netherlands. Rigorously tested by outside labs. And we drink it ourselves, every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does plant protein actually build muscle as well as whey?

Yes — if the absorption and amino acids are right. Normal plant protein is hard to absorb and low in essential amino acids, particularly leucine. Leucine is the switch that turns muscle growth on, so plant protein usually falls behind whey.

Nuscle is pre-digested for easy absorption and adds leucine and the other EAAs back in. You get a lot more of them than whey gives you, without the dairy, the bloat or the thick texture.

Does it actually taste good?
Yes — and that's not just marketing. Clear protein's biggest advantage is flavour. It mixes like a fruit drink rather than a milky shake, and with all natural flavours.

Careful flavour-masking has been used to keep the refreshing fruitiness high and the protein taste low.

Will it bloat me?
Nuscle is specifically formulated to be easy on digestion. No dairy. No sugar-alcohols. Nothing fermentable. nothing artificial. Those four are what cause bloating in most proteins. We left them all out.

How many servings per bag?
There are 30 single doses in a bag, with each dose designed to match 20g of standard whey. We recommend a double dose after workouts or before sleep to hit the ceiling of what your muscles can use.

Can I take it on rest days?
Absolutely. Protein synthesis and muscle repair happen around the clock, not just on training days. Hitting your daily protein target consistently — including rest days — is one of the most important factors in long-term muscle retention and growth.

Is Nuscle suitable for vegans?
Yes — 100%. Nuscle contains no animal-derived ingredients whatsoever.

The high-EAA advantage

The research is clear: your protein's quality matters as much as how much you drink. Choose better proteins and you get more out of every gram.

From the founder

Years in clinical fitness taught me exactly what the body needs, and I couldn't find it anywhere.

I'm Laurence. I'm a clinical physiologist and nutritionist who's spent over 10 years working for healthcare providers, helping people eat, move and feel better. I love this stuff.

After studying nutrition as a post-grad I knew protein inside out, but I still couldn't find a plant protein that got it right.

So I got together with a few researchers from the UK and the Netherlands, and we started building something that we would take ourselves. Two years later, we had Nuscle.

Read our story

Half the protein. Twice the response.

Plant and animal proteins are often low in essential amino acids, incomplete or poorly-digested. When you fix these issues, your muscles can do a lot more with every gram.

Much more of what muscles actually need, with nothing artificial or hard to digest.

Change in Muscle Response (nmol/min)

Built for full absorption

Roughly one in every three grams of whole plant protein goes unabsorbed due to poor bioavailability, low EAAs, and leftover nutrients slowing things down.

Nuscle solves this by pre-digesting the formula. The complete protein base is broken down and filtered before you even drink it. While the tiny free-form EAAs pass directly into your bloodstream with zero digestive effort.

This means easy digestion and full absorption. At whey speed, not plant-protein speed.

*Park S. & Church D. D. et al. International Society of Sports Nutrition Journal, 2020. University of Arkansas. doi: 10.1186/s12970-020-0340-5.

Fast release amino acids

Roughly three hours after a protein dose, your muscles stop absorbing and responding to amino acids. This is called the muscle-full effect.

Good protein does three things. It lifts blood EAA levels quickly to trigger muscle processes. It holds them there for this whole window. Then it clears, so your muscles can reset for the next dose.

Whey fits this curve, but most plant protein fails all three. They digest too slowly, arrive late, and the slow drip blunts how well your muscles respond next time.

Nuscle runs two speeds at once. Free EAAs for the spike, complete hydrolysed protein for the hold.

More of what builds muscle

More essential amino acids mean stronger signals to repair and build muscle, and more raw materials to actually do the job.

Matching whey's EAA profile has been shown to match its results, but Nuscle goes further—delivering over 50% more total EAAs.

With double the EAAs of regular pea protein, and in balanced ratio, so less powder delivers much more of what we know muscles actually need.

*Lim C. et al. Current Developments in Nutrition Journal, 2024. McMaster University. doi: 10.1016/j.cdnut.2024.103769.

Nuscle's formula is engineered to support muscle development even during aging, stress, dieting, or poor sleep. It includes twice the leucine of standard whey, the ideal 2:1:1 BCAA ratio and extra lysine — the critical amino acid that holds plant proteins back the most.

Complete with all 9 EAAs

Your muscle responses are strictly capped by whichever essential amino acid you have least of. Run short on just one, and the rest go to waste.

This is why incomplete proteins underperform — research shows that even large doses barely lift muscle growth and preservation above baseline. Over time this means less muscle growth and more muscle loss.

Nuscle provides balanced ratios of all nine EAAs across its added EAAs and its complete protein base, to stop any single amino acid limiting your progress.

*Arentson-Lantz E. & Von Ruff Z. et al. Current Developments in Nutrition, 2021. University of Texas. PMCID: PMC8181714.

There is also a stock of all 11 non-essential amino acids, something most proteins don't have. Your body normally makes these itself, but stress, aging, dieting, hard training and poor sleep can slow production. Having them all there means that even if things aren't perfect, there's nothing silently holding you back.

Ben

Post-workout

“Have it after training most days. So much lighter than my vanilla whey and doesn't sit on my stomach.”

Chelsie

Meal booster

“My breakfasts and lunches are usually quite low in protein so I have this with them a few times a day and after gym too. Love it, excited for more flavours!”

Marta

On-the-go

“Bought it for when I know lunch is going to be late, basically like a squash, so easy. Started taking it before and after tennis and gym as well now.”

Ian

Between meals

“I have long breaks between meals at work so walk around with this late morning and I don't get bloated or anything. Results from training have stayed really good as well.”

Nothing hidden.

Nothing wasted.

Every gram is there for a reason. No sugar, no dairy, nothing fake. Just protein that tastes good.

Hydrolysed pea protein

Pea has one of the best plant-based amino acid profiles for human tissues. Ours is pre-fermented and broken-down through hydrolysis so that more can be used and absorbed. Non-GMO and always tested for purity and contamination.

Hydrolysed rice protein

Included to fill pea protein's key amino acid gaps like methionine and cysteine. Creating a full profile of all 20 amino acids, much better than pea alone. Again, it's pre-fermented, hydrolysed, non-GMO and always tested.

Essential amino acids

The 9 that your body can't make but desperately needs. Vegan, and in a patent-pending ratio. Creating a high-EAA and complete profile that's designed to be the best, even for those who are older, dieting, training hard, or overstressed.

Salt

The sodium in salt has key roles in hydration and electrolyte balance — especially during exercise. We use a very small amount in salt form to help mask bitter amino acids and bring out those fruity flavours.

L-ornithine

A key non-essential amino acid in our bodies, known to reduce fatigue by helping us clean waste products from our cells. It's also a potent bitter-blocker, which we use in Nuscle to balance the taste profile.

Silica

Silica is a critical mineral for our bones, connective tissues, skin, hair, and nails. We use it to control foaming and keep the powder flowing freely.

Sunflower lecithin

A healthy fat sourced from sunflower seeds known to benefit heart and brain health. We use it to coat and granulise some of the Nuscle's ingredients, helping them dissolve and mix cleanly into water with minimal clumping or residue.

Two piles of sunflower seeds, one with shells and one without shells, on a white background.

Natural flavours

Flavour extracts from real fruit to give a clean, refreshing taste without artificial flavouring compounds. If we don't want to eat them, we don't want it in Nuscle.

Natural colours

Plant-derived colourants like yellow-orange curcumin and red-purple anthocyanins. No synthetic dyes. If we don't want to see them on the back, we didn't want you to either.

MCT oil

Medium-chain triglycerides are fast-digesting healthy fats from coconut. They ignore normal digestion and are quickly used for ketone energy — leading to research into its effects on brain function. In Nuscle, we use it as a natural anti-foaming agent.

Citric acid

The most common acid in lemons, but also used in our bodies for energy production and many other processes. We use it to balance flavour, foaming and acidity — giving Nuscle its light, refreshing finish.

Malic acid

The most common acid in apples, already used in our bodies to clear waste products out of cells and tissues. Naturally it has a softer, more-rounded tang. It works with citric acid to create a smoother flavour.

Monk fruit

A natural, zero-calorie sweetener made from monk fruit. Studied for its positive effect on blood pressure. It gives a clean sweetness without sugar, anything artificial, or that stevia aftertaste.
