General
Why should I take Protein?
Protein plays a role in virtually everything your body does. It becomes critically important as we age.
While we advocate for a food-first approach, consistently meeting the daily recommended protein intake (see FAQs) through your diet alone can be challenging.
That's why we launched Rare Forms and created a superior all-in-one daily drink packed with high quality protein, scientifically-proven functional ingredients, vitamins and minerals. Everything the body needs to perform at its best.
How much Protein should I be consuming on a daily basis?
In the UK, the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for Men & Women, aged between 19 - 49 years old, is 55.5g & 45g respectively. This recommendation was set in 1991. No adjustments are made for height or weight.
In Australia, the RDI for Men & Women, aged between 19 - 50 years old, is 64g & 46g respectively. This recommendation was updated in 2023 and also made no adjustments for height or weight.
Dr. Peter Attia, a leading expert on Longevity and author of Outlive (highly recommended), believes that "standard government recommendations for daily consumption are a joke." Attia suggests we need between 1.6 - 2.2g per kg of body weight.
Isn’t Protein just for bodybuilders?
The short answer is no.
Protein plays a role in virtually everything your body does and it becomes critically important as we age.
It's vital for maintaining muscle health, supporting your immune system, and keeping your skin, hair, and nails healthy.
So, whether you're lifting weights or lifting your kids, protein has got your back.
What time should I take Rare Forms?
Rare Forms can be taken any time of the day, but you should ideally take it before or soon after exercise. If you are looking to create a new healthy routine we strongly advise taking it first thing in the morning before you start your day.
Should I take it every day?
Consistency is the most critical element of establishing a healthy habit. To get the most out of your Rare Forms Protein, we recommend one serving daily. Even if you don't exercise. Increasing your protein intake is fundamental to living better for longer.
Why should I choose Rare Forms?
We provide a comprehensive, convenient, and sustainable solution that fits seamlessly into busy lifestyles. Our focus is on two core pillars of health that will cover your nutritional base daily: adequate protein intake and proper hydration.
We spent more than 12-months researching, experimenting and working with experts from Australia and the UK to distill our daily supplement routines into one convenient and delicious daily drink. Find out more about our story.

What's the best liquid to mix my Rare Forms Protein with?
For a thicker shake-like consistency we suggest blending with 200-250ml of milk. But you can also mix with water.
Chris (co-founder) always mixes his Performance Blend with Milk. Dot (co-founder) always mixes her Beauty Blend with Water and an ice cube or two.
The only thing we advise against is mixing your Rare Forms Protein with hot or highly acidic liquids, as this could affect the integrity and efficacy of some of the ingredients. If you are looking for inspiration you can find some recipes from our team in the blog.
What are the most effective healthy habits?
Let's be real, being fit and active before you have children can be relatively straightforward. But later in life, it can become more of a challenge.
By making small and simple lifestyle changes in our 30s, 40s, and 50s we can dramatically enhance our health and longevity. Do these following things and after just 30-days you'll notice a big difference:
- 7-8+ hours of sleep
- Walk 10,000 steps daily
- Lift weights 2-4 times a week
- High-protein diet
- Add electrolytes to your water
- Take creatine or collagen
Add these into the mix and you’ll be in the top 1%:
- Cut out sugar & alcohol
- Get daily sun (ideally in the morning)
