What time is it!?! …GAMETIME! What time is it!?! …GAMETIME! …Any dogs in the house!?!
As football season draws closer and closer, we get a lot questions from athletes and parents on which supplements are the best for high school football players. Do to the many emails we’ve received and replied to, we decided it would be easier to make a ranking list of the top proteins out on the market today.THE TOP 5 PROTEIN –
Whey should be a staple supplement for any high school football athlete, these are the 5 best whey proteins.

#5. Nectar by Syntrax.
Coming in at number 5 on our list is Nectar by Syntrax. Nectar’s highlight is undoubtedly its taste, usually when proteins have very good flavors, it’s usually high in fat. Not the case here. Nectar is one of the most purest proteins out there on the market, its low calories and 0 fat/carbs/sugar make it ideal for “skill” positions in football to keep those athletes agile and on the attack.

#4. Isopure by Nature’s Best.
Number 4 on our best protein countdown is Isopure. Now Isopure has had a reputation for being a little on the pricey side, but its nutrition value cannot be denied, Isopure is still one of the hottest quality proteins you can buy. Unfortunately, the taste is not the greatest but it’s a small price to pay for increased endurance and lean powerful muscle build without the fat gain.

#3. Elite Whey by Dymatize.
This protein contains a great blend of BCAA’s, something that always gets overlooked by those new to the supplement scene. Elite Whey does a great job of building muscle and supplying you with all the right amino acids at the same time, something you rarely get from a very wallet-friendly product. Overall, this is a good mass builder as well with a proper diet. Great BCAA profile

#2. 100% Whey by Optimum Nutrition.
VERY effective protein. Probably the most well known and well respected brand in the protein business. As a football athlete, you need protein, to build muscle and to recover after the grueling practices you subject your body’s to endure. You cannot go wrong with this protein, 100% Whey is what we recommend most to our young competitors out there.

#1. HydroWhey by Optimum Nutrition.
HydroWhey is the amplified version of #2 100% Whey, but HydroWhey is the complete package when it comes to protein. It is hydrolyzed, meaning the protein absorbs better and lightning fast in your muscles. HydroWhey contains a great amount of BCAA’s, delivers 60 grams of super high quality protein, and gives your body the look of being on creatine. HydroWhey is my personal protein.
