How to Order Protein in New Zealand (Plus Workout Supplement Recommendations)
I've finally started working out in New Zealand, and while I've been learning how to use free weights and machines, I've also realized that it's important to take care of my body after a workout. So I decided to order a workout supplement, Protein. Let's take a look at how to order Protein in New Zealand.
New Zealand Variety of proteins
When I lived in Auckland, New Zealand, I used to see a lot of different types of protein at Chemist Warehouse, but I hadn't started working out at the time so I didn't pay much attention.
It wasn't until I moved down to Queenstown that I got interested in working out, but there aren't many places to buy protein - not even the Chemist Warehouse above.
So when I googled New Zealand Protein powder to buy online, there were so many options, and as a healer, I didn't know which one to buy. I didn't realize it was so hard to order protein in New Zealand.
The unsung hero of JimJongKook's channel, Sunho Ma
As I became interested in fitness, I became interested in workout YouTubers on YouTube, and one of them was Jongguk Jongguk's channel.
Jong Kook-hyung was known for his athleticism and was already a huge YouTuber with nearly 3 million subscribers.
And there was someone who was able to put a little bit of a spin on it and bring a little bit of fun to the content, and that was Sunho Ma Bodybuilderis the value.
Since Jong Guk Hyung's channel is more geared towards people who are more athletic than beginners, I naturally turned to Sunho Ma's YouTube channel. He's a former bodybuilder and exercise expert, so I figured he would have content for beginners, and I was right.
I came across a video explaining workout supplements, including recommended proteins, which made it easier to order proteins from New Zealand.

First, you need to know what Whey Protein (WP) is. WP is called whey protein. Whey is one of the components of milk and is the white film that forms when milk is boiled.
And the pure protein component extracted from this white membrane is called WP whey protein, which I'm not sure what that means, but I think it means it's pure protein anyway.
[Whey Protein (WP) Type]
Type | Lactose-free | Absorption rate |
WPC (whey protein concentrate) | Yes | Slow |
WPI (whey protein isolate) | Almost none | Quick to digest and absorb |
HWPI (hydrolyzed whey protein) | Almost none | Fastest to digest and absorb |
The price seems to increase as you go from WPC to HWPI. It seems like there are more steps involved, probably to filter out lactose and to improve absorption after exercise.

Of course, in the middle of the video, he says that this is not the only protein he uses, but I trusted him anyway, so I decided to order Iso 100 Protein. I did a Google search and found a lot of different places to buy it.
Iso 100 Protein (New Zealand)
I use Iso 100 Protein as my SPRINT Fit Websitein New Zealand. It costs NZD $59.96 for 20 servings. I ordered the smaller one, even though there was a larger one available.
I chose Cookies & Cream, but there are many other flavors, including chocolate, so you can choose your favorite.
You can see that 100% WPI has 25 grams of protein, 0 grams of pure fat, and very fast absorption per potion.
Here's the ISO 100 nutritional analysis for my protein order from New Zealand. A single serving is 32 grams, with 25 grams of protein, 0.5 grams of fat, and 2 grams of carbohydrates.

What about the price of ISO 100, the exact same product sold by Coupang?
It's currently available for $34.99 after applying a WalcomBack coupon. I thought it would be cheaper overseas, but it's much better to buy it in Korea. Of course, if you're overseas, you'll have to use the local website.
If you're just starting out and are interested in protein as a workout supplement, you can get it at a much lower price than I did through the link below.
