Protein powder has been a staple in the fitness world for decades – a convenient way for athletes, weightlifters, and gym-goers to support muscle recovery. But as people have begun using protein powder as a daily nutritional supplement for lifestyle & wellness many have discovered a frustrating truth:

Most protein powders simply aren’t designed with digestion in mind.

Many products on the market contain high FODMAP ingredients like sugar alcohols, which can be an issue for IBS patients. Many protein powders can also contain gums, preservatives, fillers, and dyes.

A Personal Problem That Became a Mission

My sister and I have lived with gut-health issues our entire lives. Finding foods that supported our digestion wasn’t just important – it was essential. But no matter how many powders we tried, the result was almost always the same: bloating, nausea, discomfort, or feeling completely off for the rest of the day.

Even brands that claimed to be gut-friendly still included ingredients like sugar alcohols and gums that triggered symptoms. It was shocking, confusing, and extremely discouraging.

So, as many brands do, Better Blends began out of necessity – because nothing on the shelf or online worked for us.

Creating a Protein Powder Actually Designed for sensitive Guts

We set out to develop a protein powder that was truly different: gentle, trustworthy, and backed by science. With the support of dietitians, nutritionists, formulators, and our own very opinionated guts, we spent nearly two years creating a product that met our stomachs standards.
