Exeter entrepreneur and former sportsman, Henry Western, has launched Protein Water Co (www.proteinwater.co), an innovative British brand that produces the UK’s first and only completely natural protein infused waters.  

The Protein Water Co range has two unique product lines: Muscle Maintenance and Skin Maintenance, both delivering a mighty protein hit to support the whole body, from the skin, hair and nails to the maintenance of bones, muscles, cartilage and blood. 

The brand has launched nationwide through a deal to supply Boots with all three editions of its Muscle Maintenance line and is in further talks with other national retailers.

Company Founder Western had a previous career in motocross. He started racing in Exeter at nine years old and raced professionally from the age of 18 to 24. With a keen interest in sports, health and nutrition, Western founded Protein Water Co at his home in Exeter after being frustrated with the lack of functional and naturally low-sugar soft drink options available on-the-go. 

As a health conscious but time-poor sportsman, Western knew the benefits of adding extra protein into the diet and wanted to create a product that would make it easily available to everyone.  Protein Water Co was created so that consumers can leave their protein shakes and supplements at home and pack in a high level of protein without being weighed down by high calorie meals.

Western enlisted support from local sports clubs, service stations, farm shops and local independent retailers to stock Protein Water Co and the brand now sponsors local motocross riders as well as the Pure Endurance Triathlon in Honiton.

Obsessive about transparent ingredients and genuine nutritional claims, the brand promises a healthier product of superb quality. Every 500ml bottle combines the highest quality protein with spring water, delivering a clear, crisp and refreshing taste with absolutely no nasties. It has a clean and GMO-free ingredient profile with no added sugar, zero fat, and absolutely no artificial sweeteners, flavours, colours or preservatives.

Each variety has an excellent nutritional profile. The Muscle Maintenance range delivers 20g of protein at just 100 calories, whilst the Skin Maintenance line has 10g of protein at under 50 calories, satisfying hunger.

Muscle Maintenance
The Protein Water Co Muscle Maintenance range is perfect for anyone looking to improve their performance, whether that’s at the gym, on the track and field or throughout their busy life.
It is produced with high quality clinically proven ingredients that work in synergy to achieve the best results. It only uses premium whey protein isolate, which provides the highest percentage of protein per gram than any other protein. 

The range is quality assured by Informed-Sport, a program that certifies sports nutrition products.

The Protein Water Co Muscle Maintenance range has an RRP of £2.35 for a 500ml bottle and is available in three unique varieties:
o Grapefruit & Yuzu
o Cranberry & Raspberry
o Coconut & Mango

Skin Maintenance
Beauty in a bottle, the Protein Water Co Skin Maintenance range feeds the skin from within by providing a hit of the highest quality form of hydrolysed collagen available.

Collagen is a protein found naturally in the body. It gives the skin strength and elasticity as well as replacing dead skin cells and keeping joints and tendons healthy. Lifestyle choices, like a high sugar diet, and ageing deplete levels of collagen, which can lead to sagginess, dullness, dryness and loss of youthful plumpness in the skin. Supplementing the diet with an added boost of collagen can help combat this.

Collagen doesn’t just work on the skin, hair and nails. Adding it to the diet can help with stiff joints, improve sleep quality, boost metabolism and energy, improve digestion and help maintain muscle mass.

The Protein Water Co Skin Maintenance range has an RRP of £2.35 for a 500ml bottle and is available in two editions:
o Apple & Strawberry
o Purple Grape
