Factory Direct Proteins is the online arm of one of Australia's top sport supplement suppliers. We are dedicated to offering Australian consumers heavily discounted shakes, and sports nutrition supplements. Our buying power means you get premium quality products at rock bottom prices!

 

Factory Direct Proteins

Complete Whey Protein is an advanced blend of four distinct types of whey protein:

• Ultra-filtered Whey Protein Concentrate,

• Cross-Flow Micro-filtered and Ultra-filtered Whey Protein Isolate,

• Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolate, and

• Hydrolyzed (partially pre-digested) Whey Protein Isolate.

 

Factory Direct Proteins has carefully chosen and combined a comprehensive range of proteins to offer you one of the most effective blends available. Each serve contains all of the essential protein fractions (alpha lactalbumin, beta lactoglobulin, serum albumin, lactoferrin, glycomacro peptides, immunoglobulins, lactoperoxidase).

Each protein source was carefully chosen for its impressive PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) rating and combined to offer you one of the most effective blends available. This formula was specifically developed to get the vital amino acids into your system faster, to make it even faster acting.

  

With over 23g of protein and just 1.1g of fat per serving, Complete Whey Protein offers one of the best nutritional profiles available.

  

Over 4 grams of glutamine and glutamine precursors and almost 5.5 grams of BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) in each serve!

 

Every serve supplies low, moderate, and high molecular weight, biologically active whey protein micro-fractions including: Alpha-lactalbumin, Glycomacropeptides, Beta-lactoglobulin, Immunoglobulin G (IgG), Lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and a variety of growth factors.

 

The whey protein delivers you a complete spectrum of whey peptides and is fortified with L-Glutamine which may assist the bodies own immune system. It is fully instantised (so it mixes easily) and the flavour is awesome!

Why does this protein shake taste so good? (really, it does!)
Two of our technical team are food technologists with considerable experience in developing products for the sports nutrition and weight loss markets. The flavour profile was developed specifically to match Australian taste preferences (so they don’t taste “fake”, “oversweet” or “chemically” like a lot of the American brands). This expertise enables us to make some of the best tasting shakes available anywhere!

Flavours are the most expensive part of any shake. The larger companies are all struggling to compete against each other on price so they need to minimise the cost of their formula wherever they can. The best area to make savings is to cut the amount and quality of the flavour used. Because we sell direct, we can afford to use the optimum amount of the highest quality flavours in all our products. You still get great prices, but you also get delicious shakes! (N.B. No artificial flavours or colours are used in any of our products).

 

Some other online companies only sell their shakes as plain, unflavoured protein powders. They make various claims as to why they do this, but the truth is that blending proteins requires expensive equipment, food grade manufacturing facilities, experienced staff, and technical ability – something these other operators just don’t have. Many of the small operations buy in one or two 20kg bags of whey protein at a time, repack them into smaller bags (hopefully in a food grade manufacturing facility??), and stick a label on them.

 

Because we have all of the specialised equipment already in place, it is easy for us to undergo the blending needed in a proper (safe) food grade environment for those people who want a ready made shake that is perfectly balanced and ready to go.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Shake or blend the entire contents of sachet with 250ml water or skim milk. Take 1 shake first thing in the morning, after training and last thing at night for maximum results.

How do we know what the amino acid profile is?

We have had our shakes analysed by the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility at Macquarie University. How confident are you that the shake you are currently drinking has had such rigorous independent analysis conducted on it? 

  •  Contains no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.
  • No added sugar.
  • No added fructose.
  • Aspartame free.

Made in Australia from local and imported ingredients. RECOMMENDED DAILY CONSUMPTION = 3 SERVINGS

Factory Direct Proteins

 

 

About Us.

Factory Direct Proteins is turning the protein supplement and sports nutrition market on its head with its dedication to offering Australian consumers heavily discounted whey protein shakes, and sports nutrition supplements. Whilst we have dropped the price, we definitely have not reduced the quality – All of our ingredients are sourced from the best suppliers in Australia and around the world.

 

Who are we?

Factory Direct Proteins is a small online division of one of Australia’s leading suppliers of premium quality whey protein shakes and supplements to the sports nutrition and weight loss markets:  Australia's top sport supplement suppliers . The products our parent company “contract manufacture” for other companies are sold under a number of well known retail brands throughout Australia.

 

We operate out of a 22,000 square foot food manufacturing facility (custom built in late 2006) that is fully equipped for all facets of production.

 

Why are we so much cheaper than the well known brands?

Our experience in this market confirmed that sports people, dieters and health conscious consumers are constantly frustrated by the extreme prices that they are forced to pay for quality products. Some time ago, we looked at the market as a whole and identified a number of ways to streamline the distribution – by cutting all of the middlemen out of the process we can now sell fantastic products at even better prices.

 

Here’s how it works:

  • Because we don’t sell through retailers we can save you money.
  • Because we sell direct, and distribute large volumes we can negotiate big cost savings that we pass onto you.
  • Because we do minimal advertising, we save you money.
  • Because we don’t need fancy packaging to attract your attention on the retail shelf, we save you money.
  • Because we don’t have sales reps on the road trying to convince shops and gyms to stock our range, we save you money.
  • Because we don’t pay large amounts to sponsor professional sports stars, we save you money.
  • Because we turnover very large volume through our factory, we negotiate to purchase the best ingredients from Australia and overseas at the best possible prices – we save you money.
  • Because we only sell direct to end users, you are not paying for the costs and profits of the numerous distributors and marketing companies that are usually involved in the sale of sports supplements. That really saves you money!

By taking a step back and looking at what the customer really pays for at the cash register, we have been able to structure Factory Direct Proteins in a way that offers the same great products, at much more realistic prices.

 

What makes Factory Direct Proteins different to other companies?

The answer is simple - We manufacture and pack the products ourselves.

 

Did you know that quite a few of Australia’s biggest and best known protein supplement and sports nutrition brands are just marketing companies? They do not manufacture anything. Here is how they operate: 

  1. They pay someone to develop a product for them or they employ someone fulltime to do the development work on their behalf.
  2. They then pay a separate company to manufacture the products for them (of course, these “contract manufacturers” are there to make a profit, so it adds to the high cost that you pay at retail level).
  3. The marketing company then pays huge amounts in marketing costs – TV and radio advertising, magazine advertising, sponsorship agreements, product ranging fees to supermarkets etc. These huge costs are then passed onto you - the customer.
  4. These marketing companies also have a large team of sales staff on the road. Again, the cost of wages and company cars adds to the price you pay for their product...
  5. They then sell their products in bulk to a distributor whose job it is to sell the products to individual retail outlets (of course, this adds more cost, because the distributor wants a profit too…).
  6. Finally, the retail outlet gets their hands on the product and adds another big markup (to cover their rent, wages, profits, etc) and sells it to you.
  7. You also pay for transport between each of the middlemen.

It looks something like this:

How many people are making a profit out of every “big brand” item you buy? No-wonder you end up seeing red when you find out just what you are paying for.

 

At Factory Direct Proteins, we have structured our business to minimize your costs.

We manufacture the products ourselves, (we also manufacture for other marketing companies too, so we know just how much they are paying to buy their products and the margins they make).

We spend the bare minimum on advertising,

We have no sales staff, and

We only sell direct to you through the internet.

 

Our structure looks something like this:

Photobucket

 

 

When you buy a container of premium quality protein, what would you rather pay for?

The profits of multiple companies, large executive salaries, transport between multiple locations,

the wages and company cars of a team of sales reps, the brand building activities of marketing companies,

and large advertising budgets – oh, and the products themselves,

 

OR

 

The profits of one company, and great quality products being delivered straight to your door.

 

We have a very loyal group of customers who just want the products – not the expensive marketing “guff” that goes with it. That’s why they come back to us time after time for all their needs. Because our concept is so popular, we have made the products available online so anyone in Australia can benefit.

Product quality

At Factory Direct Proteins, we understand that quality is critical in all of our operations. We know that there is no point selling either low quality products for low prices, or premium quality products at highly inflated prices.

 

If we did either of the above we would be exactly the same as every other brand on the market today. The one thing that separates us from the competition is our ability to offer premium quality products at low prices – what a novel concept.

 

How do you know that our products are high quality?

The answer is simple. There are only a small number of dairies in Australia and New Zealand with the technology and equipment to make high quality whey proteins. This means that all well known brands of Australian sports supplements are made from the exact same ingredients (Yep – the ratios of each ingredients may be slightly different, the flavours they use are different, but the all important whey proteins they use all come from a small number of suppliers. Our proteins are exactly the same as the ones used by many of the Big Brands much more expensive retail products).

 

Now that is easy for us to say about our own product, but we took it one step further.

 

We had our shakes analysed by TWO of Australia’s leading independent analysts in this field. Our amino acid analysis was undertaken by the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility at Macquarie University. Our nutritional information panel was tested by AgriQuality. Both tests confirmed that our protein shakes are as good as – and often better than – the leading brands in Australia.

 

Unlike some other online supplement companies, all of our products are blended and packed in a state of the art facility with a comprehensive quality assurance program in place.

OUR PRODUCT RANGE. 

At Factory Direct Proteins, we understand that everyone has different needs when it comes to supplements and nutrition. That is why we offer a broad range of products...

 

Protein blends.

For the customer who wants a shake that has everything added and ready to go, we have specifically develop a range of delicious shakes. Our protein blends not only offer premium quality whey protein, but have been specifically designed to taste absolutely fantastic. That’s right; these shakes are not your run of the mill poor tasting protein shakes. We have spent considerable time working with professional flavourists from the confectionery industry to ensure these are some of the best tasting shakes available. We know you will love them.

Unflavoured proteins.

For the customer who wants complete control over their protein intake, we offer pure, unflavoured, unsweetened unadulterated whey proteins. Choose from any of our premium quality Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Calcium Casseinate or Soy Protein Isolate – all packed in a proper food grade manufacturing facility (not some dodgy backyard operation).

Amino Acids and supplements.

Premium quality supplements are usually very expensive. Don’t pay huge amounts of money for premium supplements, or save a few bucks by purchasing inferior products. At Factory Direct Proteins, we only sell the best supplements available – but because of our buying power and direct distribution, we sell them for less than anyone ever dreamed possible.

 

Pharmaceutical grade “Creapure” Creatine Monohydrate – 500g.

If you know anything about Creatine Monohydrate you would agree that not all creatine is made the same. Worse than that, there has been a lot of talk in the supplement business about some creatine products being of very poor quality.

 

From a customer’s perspective, the most amazing thing about Creatine is this – There are only a small number of companies worldwide that can make pharmaceutical grade creatine.

 

This means that although you might see a dozen different brands of creatine on the retail shelves, the white powder inside has only come out of a small number of producers – some of them highly reputable, and some whose quality standards may not be as rigorous as they could be. 

 

Like us, all retail brands buy their creatine from one of the few possible sources, pack it into a container, stick a label on it and then sell it to the customer. The difference is the prices they choose to charge, and the number of “middle men” who all make a profit…

 

At Factory Direct Proteins, we insist on sourcing only the best ingredients available. That is why we only sell Creapure™ pharmaceutical grade Creatine Monohydrate.

 

Creapure™ is made in Europe by one of the worlds largest and most reputable pharmaceutical companies, so you know it is of the highest quality and free of impurities.

 

Because Creapure is a premium quality product, it is more expensive than most other forms of creatine on the market today. For this reason, some Big Brands prefer to use cheaper forms of creatine monohydrate that is imported from manufacturers based in China. If the pack doesn’t specify where the creatine comes from, you have the right to be very wary about whether you are getting the quality that you want.

 

A number of well respected brands claim on their labels that they also use Creapure. (Some others use it, but don’t want their competitors to know so they keep the source of their supplier top secret)! We congratulate the companies who use Creapure, but we question their pricing. If they use the same product out of the same factory as us, put it in a similar container as us, apply a label and sell it, why does their product cost twice as much as ours?

 

What would you rather pay for?

Expensive Creapure in a fancy container from a well known brand that has paid huge amounts of money to lots of different people from the point of manufacture to retail shelf, OR, The EXACT SAME CREAPURE from THE EXACT SAME FACTORY that is sold to you directly at around half the price?

 

If this is how the big brands charge for their Creatine, we wonder if they do the exact same for ALL their products?
