Drop 10 · ExplainerWhat it is, what it does, and the honest partBased on the label and published research. Not medical advice.

Why it made the stack

Key takeaways.

2:1

Protein plus some carbs after training helps rebuild muscle and refill the energy your muscles burned.

NSF

Certified for Sport, screened for banned substances. That matters if you compete in tested sport.

Honest

It costs more per gram of protein than plain whey. If you don't train long or twice a day, our Drop 02 whey plus a banana does the same job.

What the research says

What the evidence shows.

Protein after training

Meta-analysis, 49 trials
Strong evidence

A meta-analysis of 49 trials found protein supplements added to resistance training increase strength and muscle gains, levelling off at about 1.6 g per kg of body weight a day.

Carbs + protein timing

Position stand
Good evidence

The International Society of Sports Nutrition says protein with carbohydrate after hard exercise helps refill muscle glycogen and start repair, which matters most when you train again within a day.

Glutamine and carnitine

Brand claim
Manufacturer data

Momentous says L-glutamine and L-carnitine support muscle repair and less soreness. The evidence for these add-ins in healthy athletes is mixed, and the amounts aren't listed on the product page.

Before you buy

What you should know.

  • Already in Drop 06. Recovery is one of the five products in the Athletic Resilience Stack. Don't buy both.
  • Plain whey may be enough. If you train once a day, Drop 02 whey plus a piece of fruit gives the same protein and carbs for less.
  • Contains milk. Skip it if you have a milk allergy. The chocolate has 5 g of added sugar per serving.
  • Check with your doctor first if you have kidney disease or have been told to limit protein.

Great fit if you…

  • Compete in tested sport
  • Want protein and carbs in one scoop

How to take it

  • 2 scoops with cold water right after training
  • Use on hard training days
