Our LiveRite protein shakes are made of whey protein, and our exclusive formula is absolutely delicious! The benefits of whey protein don’t just stop at fat burning; our shakes offer a multitude of health benefits. Perhaps the question to ask is…what DON’T they do?

Vitamins and Enzymes

To begin with, our whey shakes are fortified with vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. They contain vitamin C and B vitamins which will help you metabolize the calories into energy rather than stored fat. The shake’s papain and bromelain enzymes content help to reduce inflammation and muscle soreness. These enzymes also help with the breakdown and digestion of calories consumed. Our LiveRite whey protein shakes also contain lipase, which helps specifically with the breakdown of fats. Our shakes are fortified with additional vitamin E, shown to improve heart, brain, and breast health and to improve circulation and respiratory fitness.
