About Silverback Protein
Silverback Protein B.V. works with European, non-genetically modified raw materials and focuses on the amino acid profile of plant protein. Plant proteins often contain somewhat less leucine per gram than whey protein; in Unlock Protein, Silverback supplements this with an amino acid mix. The pouches are made from a single material and are therefore recyclable.
Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass. All Silverback products at Plenthera are a source of protein.
