We tested so you don’t have to!

Here at Gr8 Health, we pride ourselves on recommending the best products for our customers, the best options that suit every need and the best value. With that said, sometimes a new brand comes along that is different and contain different ingredients or has something new added and we wonder – is that better? How can this benefit our lovely customers?

Today, we look into some products from Tropeaka – a great brand with amazing products – and Switch Nutrition – a new brand with equally awesome products! Let’s dive into this new This vs That!

Protein

Tropeaka Boost Protein 1kg vs SWITCH NUTRITION Protein Organic Sprouted Plant Vanilla Bean 900g

Switch has a step ahead on this one – their protein is also suitable for vegans. Another key ingredient that sets Switch Nutrition Protein apart is the added MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) – that can help your body make ketones, an energy source for your brain that doesn’t have carbs. Switch Nutrition Protein also contains Dygezime – Digezyme is a unique multi-enzyme complex consisting of amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, and lactase. These enzymes work together to break down carbohydrates, proteins, fats, cellulose, and lactose, facilitating digestion and nutrient absorption.

Both products can be added in smoothies if preferred, but in terms of ingredients and nutrients, Switch takes the prize! 

Potent Powders

Tropeaka Dragon Fruit Powder 200g vs SWITCH NUTRITION NAC 100% N-Acetyl L-Cystine Unflavoured 120g

Both products are packed with antioxidants and are perfect for exercise performance. 

Switch Nutrition’s product contains NAC – NAC is considered ‘conditionally essential’ because your body can produce it from other amino acids. It becomes essential only when the dietary intake of methionine and serine is low. Cysteine is found in most high protein foods, such as chicken, turkey, yogurt, cheese, eggs, sunflower seeds, and legumes. Consuming adequate cysteine and NAC is important for various health reasons, including replenishing the most potent antioxidant in your body, glutathione. These amino acids also help with chronic respiratory conditions, fertility, and brain health.

Switch is also more complete in terms of recovery as it contains Glutathione – that is a substance made from the amino acids glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. It is produced by the liver and involved in many body processes. Glutathione is involved in tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins needed in the body, and in immune system function.

Greens/Superfoods

Tropeaka Superfood Greens + D Powder 200g vs Switch Nutrition Vitality Revitalising Greens Powder Mango Passionfruit 150g

Greens powders are essential for your overall health and fitness performance! Although Tropeaka’s Superfood green + Powder is extremely delicious, Switch Nutrition’s option contains an enormous list of ingredients that are incredibly beneficial to you! Specially Organic Spirulina – a potent source of nutrients. It contains a powerful plant-based protein called phycocyanin. Research shows this may have antioxidant, pain-relief, anti-inflammatory, and brain-protective properties. Many antioxidants in spirulina have anti-inflammatory effects in the body – and Ginseng – that has anti-inflammatory effects and may reduce inflammation.

Our overall winner is definitely Switch Nutrition and the best part is that Gr8 Health stocks many options from Switch to boost your performance, help you recover faster and build up those necessary nutrients for your gym goals.
