What Is the Best Protein Powder for Buttocks Growth?
Are you looking for the best protein powder for buttocks growth? Discover how to safely support your fitness goals with protein powder.

Can Protein Powder Help With Buttocks Growth?
The size and shape of your buttocks is determined by the size and shape of three muscles known as your glutes.
Strength training (squats, lunges, etc.) has an effect on the growth of these muscles, but only when paired with adequate protein intake.
In other words, you must meet your daily protein needs if you want booty gains!
How much protein you need depends on several factors, including your age, weight, and how much you workout.
Most adults need at least 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, but individuals trying to build muscle may need twice that much.
If you are trying to grow your glutes, the recommended protein intake ranges from 1.4 to 2.0 grams per kilogram of body weight per day.
Most people should be able to meet their protein needs without the use of supplements.
But some individuals, especially those with dietary restrictions, could benefit from adding protein powder to their diets.
Protein powder makes it easy to fill in nutritional gaps and support muscle growth, even on busy days.
That said, not all protein powders are created equal.
What Is the Best Protein Powder for Booty Gains?
First of all, it is important to acknowledge that protein powder is just food; it will not help you build muscle better or faster than any other dietary protein source.
Protein powder is one of the most convenient and versatile ways to increase your protein intake, however.
It can be mixed with just milk or water to make a protein shake, or added to smoothies, oatmeal, and other recipes.
It is also worth mentioning that any type of protein powder (egg white, pea, whey, etc.) can help you meet 100% of your protein needs.
Some people mistakenly believe that certain protein sources (like peas) are inferior to others (like whey) because they contain fewer essential amino acids.
But if you are eating a balanced diet, there is no advantage to using one type of protein powder instead of another.
Getting protein from a variety of sources is going to allow you to meet all of your essential amino acids needs, even if you eat a plant-based diet.
In fact, research shows less than 1% of adults do not meet the Estimated Average Requirements for each essential amino acid.
Research also indicates that while certain proteins may have a slight edge in promoting lean muscle mass, the overall differences in body composition changes between different protein sources are minimal.
What matters when it comes to protein powder is thus not the type of protein, but how it was processed, and if any problematic ingredients were added.
For instance, many protein powders contain additives known to cause painful side effects and even long-term health problems.
Avoid Food Additives
Emulsifiers, thickeners, and other additives can upset your stomach because they are hard to break down and absorb.
They can also alter the composition of your gut microbiome, the collection of microorganisms living in your gut.
Over time, this can lead to gut dysbiosis, or an imbalance in gut bacteria, which contributes to a wide range of chronic diseases, including obesity, type 1 diabetes, and colorectal cancer
Here is a list of the most common food additives in protein supplements:
- acacia fiber
- acacia gum
- acesulfame potassium
- artificial flavors
- ascorbic acid
- aspartame
- calcium carbonate
- carrageenan
- cellulose gum
- dextrin
- dicalcium phosphate
- dipotassium phosphate
- erythritol
- gellan gum
- guar gum
- gum arabic
- inulin
- locust bean gum
- maltitol
- maltodextrin
- mono- and diglycerides
- ‘natural’ flavors
- rice bran extract
- rice dextrin
- rice hulls
- rosemary extract
- silica
- silicon dioxide
- sodium alginate
- soluble corn fiber
- sorbitol
- soy lecithin
- sucralose
- sunflower lecithin
- tocopherols
- tricalcium phosphate
- xanthan gum
- xylitol
- zinc oxide
Note that this list includes several artificial sweeteners.
Artificial sweeteners like sucralose and acesulfame potassium are among the worst ingredients for your gut microbiome.
They both reduce microbial diversity and promote the growth of potentially pathogenic bacteria.
In short, if you could not find an ingredient in nature or make it at home, it should not be in your protein powder.
Avoid Dairy-Based Proteins
You should also avoid dairy-based proteins like whey and casein, which contain lactose, a sugar many people cannot fully digest.
Keep in mind that you may be sensitive to dairy-based proteins even if they are not lactose intolerant.
This is particularly true for casein protein, which forms a gel-like substance in the stomach that slows down digestion.
Avoid Protein Concentrates and Isolates
You should steer clear of protein concentrates and isolates too.
Most protein supplements are made from protein concentrates and isolates, which have been mechanically and/or chemically stripped of everything but the protein.
This includes the enzymes, fiber, and other natural digestive aids that help your gut break them down.
You therefore do not digest them in the same way that they do whole foods, which can affect everything from satiety to gut health.
In fact, studies show that regularly eating protein concentrates and isolates can disrupt the gut microbiome and cause the formation of toxic byproducts in your gut.
So, pending further research, it is recommended that you stick to protein powders made from whole food protein sources.

Verified Purchase As someone who has struggled with chronic conditions for 10+ years, getting in nutrient-dense foods is big part of how I care for my body. Finding options that are tasty and convenient is difficult. And I am always trying to eat enough in order to maintain my weight. Providers consistently recommend smoothies/shakes. I have tried so many over the years and each time the GI symptoms are intense or the flavor is awful! Since finding Drink Wholesome, I have finally been able to incorporate higher protein smoothies and shakes without the digestive upset. As a result, I have been able to maintain my weight more easily and even gain some beneficial weight. digestive issues
