Protein Powders — Clean, Simple, and Effective

Our experience:
We’ve been using Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder as part of our regular routine, and overall we like them.

Why we like them:

  • They stick to the brand’s philosophy of “nutrition with nothing to hide” — meaning no added fillers, artificial sweeteners, or unnecessary ingredients. You really know what you’re putting in your body.

  • The protein mixes easily into shakes, smoothies, and oats — we haven’t struggled with clumping.

  • Many other users praise the clean ingredient list and quality sourcing from grass-fed/non-GMO sources.

What to know:
If you prefer very sweet or strongly flavoured shakes, these might be milder in taste — that’s intentional given the minimal ingredients focus.


Vitamin C — Simple and Effective

We’ve also tried Naked 500mg Ascorbic Acid Capsules as our go-to vitamin C supplement.

Why we like it:

  • It delivers straightforward vitamin C (ascorbic acid) with no extras — ideal if you want pure immune support without fillers.

  • The capsules are easy to swallow and fit seamlessly into a daily supplement routine.

  • Other Naked customers report feeling steadier energy and immune support with consistent use.


Zinc Supplement — Gentle on the Stomach

We’ve also been taking Naked Zinc Carnosine Gut Lining, Immune Function And Stomach Support Supplement.

Why we like it:

  • This isn’t just basic zinc — it’s a zinc-L-carnosine complex, which enhances absorption and tends to be gentler on digestion than some other zinc forms.

  • It supports overall immune resilience and helps keep the digestive system balanced — something we’ve noticed over weeks of regular use.

  • Reviews directly on the Naked site consistently rate it highly (4.8?), with users calling it effective and easy on the stomach.

What we like most:

  • Clean, transparent ingredients with minimal additives — this is consistently highlighted both on the brand site and in user reviews.

  • Easy to mix and incorporate into everyday nutrition without confusing labels.

  • Supplements that feel purposeful — proteins for recovery and muscle support, vitamin C and zinc for immune and daily wellness.

A few notes:

  • Taste is generally subtle — excellent for mixing into recipes, but might not satisfy if you like very sweet, dessert-like shakes.

  • Some users outside of official feedback have raised concerns about taste or customer service in isolated cases, but this hasn’t been our overall experience.
