Frequently Asked Questions
Read some frequently asked questions to get a better idea of how our products can energise your workout!
What is the difference between the elite and standard repair protein?
Both ranges are excellent tasting protein powders and excellent for health. The repair range is a low-cost protein that offers 25g of protein per serving with added ingredients to help the amino acids digest and absorb. The Elite range is used by many professional athletes and provides the same protein content as the repair range but has a range of plant-based ingredients that are proven to boost recovery after exercise. The elite range, in addition to the proteins, provides extra micronutrients, antioxidants, 5 billion probiotics, and anti-inflammatory compounds, all proven to be beneficial for health and athletic recovery.
The difference between Male and Female Elite Protein powders?
In both the elite and repair ranges, the male and female proteins both have a very similar ingredient profile. We have added red maca and seabuckthorn berry juice powder to the female ranges because they are ingredients that support female health. Red maca is an adaptogen, meaning it balances female’s hormones, whether they are elevated or depleted. Sea buckthorn helps to support hair skin and nails by increasing collagen synthesis and it excellent for increasing energy levels.
We use organic ingredients within each blend. The product can’t be certified organic under U.K law because some of the ingredients, such as botswellic extract, stevia extract and probiotics are not classified as foods and not permitted to be used in a certified organic product. We strive to provide clean products and test batches independently to ensure they are free from heavy metals and pesticides.
Do I take Elite Repair on non-training days?

Is Elite Repair more effective than whey protein?
Elite is better than whey because it delivers more protein per serving with exact, if not more amino acids present than Whey protein. Across the board, whey protein delivers exactly what it says on the tin, protein alone. It is often difficult to digest and causes gas and bloating. Elite contains unique ingredients designed to help digestion and absorption. The additional super foods provide the key aspects of nutrition that are missing from a whey protein product.
Can Elite Repair Improve Athletic Recovery?
Yes. Each serving provides 25 grams of protein that include 8 grams of BCAA. The protein sources support protein synthesis to help repair muscle tissue. The advantage of raw sport elite is the additional ingredients added to make it the stand out recovery product on the protein market. Each serving provides 5 billion live bacteria cultures, 120mg of digestive enzymes, 750mg of electrolytes to support hydration, boswellic acid as an anti-inflammatory and 5 grams of super foods, providing antioxidants and micronutrients.
Can Elite Repair Improve Athletic Performance?
Many scientific articles have been published, demonstrating the benefits of using amino acids to increase athletic performance. So in theory Elite repair can be used both pre and post workout. Using Elite Repair post training will help improve athletic performance by enhancing recovery periods to allow the ability to train harder.
How many times daily do you take Elite Repair?
If your diet is healthy we recommend one scoop per day is adequate. If you train intensely your protein requirements will be increased, so 2-3 scoops daily may be needed. We recommend for 1.2-1.5 grams of protein per kg of body weight daily if training intensely. An example: If a person weighs 100kg and trains intensely and is aiming for 1.5 gram of protein per kg of body weight, they would need 150 grams of protein daily.
When is it best time of day to take Elite Repair?
It is good to use in a raw sport protein shaker within 30 minutes of exercise. If using as a dietary supplement and not for recovery, use in a morning or lunch in a smoothie as a healthy meal replacement. Elite is also good to use as a healthy snack alternative in between meals throughout the day.

How does the taste compare to whey protein?
If you are transitioning from whey protein to plant based protein, there is a difference in taste and texture. The taste is subjective to each individual’s personal preference. Plant based protein doesn’t have a creamy taste because it is not derived from milk. Plant based protein will always have a slightly thicker texture than whey protein. Our customer feedback recommends to mix elite protein with a plant based milk for best results.

Each blend provides 24-25 grams of protein per serving
How many grams of BCAA does Elite Repair provide per serving?
In Every product there is approximately 8g
What is the source of the BCCA?
We use BCAA derived from sunflower seeds. Sunflower BCAA are a 2:1:1 ratio as found in foods from nature. It is vital not to create amino acid imbalances. Over supplementation of leucine, found in high quantities in many BCAAs, can cause high levels of ammonia to accumulate in the body, placing a strain on the liver and kidneys. High doses have also been found to cause hypoglycaemia and gastrointestinal side effects.
Are Your BCAA’s Ethically sourced?
The ethics behind the manufacture of BCAAs is important to raw sport and our customers. The majority of the BCAA products on the market are derived from duck feathers, GMO’s, animal hair or even human hair. We use an instantised 2:1:1 BCAA derived from vegan fermented sunflower. Instantised differ from standard BCAAs due to their water solubility, making them far more applicable in the sports beverage market. To give the amino acids their soluble quality, they undergo spray drying with lecithin, which acts as an emulsifier; allowing the BCAA to dissolve readily in water. We only use sunflower lecithin as an emulsifying agent, which has all the benefits of soy lecithin, without any of the allergenic properties.
Does each bag come with a scoop?
Yes each flavour comes with a 33-gram scoop.
How many servings does each bag provide?
Each 1kg bag provides approx 30 servings
Is the Elite Repair free from pesticides and heavy metals?
We independently test batches for heavy metals and pesticides to ensure we deliver a product free from harmful substances.
Is Elite Repair suitable for professional athletes?
Yes. We are informed sport certified and every batch is tested to ensure no banned substances are present.
What is the recommended serving per day?
If your diet is healthy we recommend one scoop per day is adequate. If you train intensely your protein requirements will be increased, so 2-3 scoops daily may be needed. We recommend for 1.2-1.5 grams of protein per kg of body weight daily. An example: If a person weighs 100kg and trains intensely and is aiming for 1.5 gram of protein per kg of body weight, they would need 150 grams of protein daily.
How much protein do I take per day?
The answer depends on lifestyle and diet. In the modern world it is unlikely that you will ever be deficient in protein. You need 0.8grams per kilo of body weight to not be in a deficit, so if you weight 80kg you would need 64g daily (0.8x80=64g) The standard western diet is very imbalanced and high in refined carbohydrate and lacking good quality protein sources. One serving of Elite repair provides 25 grams of protein per serving. If you exercise or have an active lifestyle your protein needs will be increased. We recommend 2-3 scoops daily may be needed. We recommend for 1.2-1.5 grams of protein per kg of body weight daily. An example: If a person weighs 100kg and trains intensely and is aiming for 1.5 gram of protein per kg of body weight, they would need 150 grams of protein daily. (100x1.5=150)
