An article in the New York Times drew attention to a widespread problem in the supplement industry: many protein powders contain less real protein than the packaging promises.

How? By adding cheap nitrogen-rich substances—such as taurine or glycine—that artificially inflate the protein value without providing any benefit to your body. This is called nitrogen spiking, and unfortunately, it is common.

At Alika Nutrition, we do things differently.

  • No artificial sweeteners or colorings
  • No added sugars
  • Exclusively high-quality whey, milk, and plant-based proteins
  • Real flavors: pure Bourbon vanilla, cocoa powder from Fino de Aroma beans, or pure raspberry
  • Full transparency about ingredients and nutritional values

All our mixes are developed with one goal: products that truly deserve a place in a healthy lifestyle—not only for athletes but also for anyone consciously engaged in nutrition and healthy aging.

All our products are manufactured according to the IFS standard, an independent laboratory regularly tests the quality and amino acid composition, and all our raw materials and suppliers are subjected to a high-quality standard.
