PVL ISO CLEAAR Clear Protein

PVL ISO CLEAAR — 20g Protein That Drinks Like Juice, Not a Shake

ISO CLEAAR is a completely different protein experience — clear, light and refreshing where a shake is thick and heavy, 80 calories where a shake is 150+, and dairy-free. It's not a replacement for your protein shake. It's what you reach for when you want protein but don't want another shake. Three flavours: Blue Slushie, Summer Peach and Grape Refresher. 650g, in stock at TopDog Nutrition.

The Numbers

• 20g protein per serve — 12g from whole protein sources and 8g from free-form amino acids.
• 80 calories per serve — one of the lightest protein sources available per gram of protein.
• 0g sugar — no added sugar.
• Dairy-free — protein from beef protein isolate and plant-based sources, not whey or casein.
• Clear formula — mixes completely clear, no cloudiness or milky residue.

What Makes It Different — Leuvate™

ISO CLEAAR isn't just hydrolysed whey in fruit flavour. The formula combines 12g of whole protein with 8g of free-form amino acids, including over 4g of Leuvate™ — a targeted essential amino acid blend specifically designed to initiate muscle protein synthesis (MPS). The key difference: whole protein takes time to digest before amino acids become available; free-form amino acids are already in a state your body can use immediately. ISO CLEAAR delivers both — fast-acting amino acid initiation of MPS from the Leuvate™, then sustained amino acid delivery as the whole protein digests. Research on Leuvate shows that 3g can stimulate MPS at levels comparable to significantly larger amounts of traditional protein — ISO CLEAAR provides more than 4g.

Why It's Lighter on Your Stomach

Traditional shakes feel heavy for two reasons: dairy-based protein and large whole-protein loads that take hours to digest. ISO CLEAAR uses dairy-free protein sources and pre-delivers a significant portion as free-form aminos, so the digestive load is substantially lower. For people who experience bloating or heaviness from standard shakes — or who train in the evening and don't want a stomach full of slow-digesting milk protein — this is the answer.

When to Use It

• Post-workout — when you're thirsty and hot and a thick shake is the last thing you want.
• Between meals — 80 calories and 20g protein is an easy mid-afternoon hit.
• Morning — lighter than a shake first thing, easier to drink before breakfast.
• On the go — mix in a water bottle, drinks like juice, takes 30 seconds.
• Warmer months — serve over ice. Blue Slushie and Grape Refresher especially.

How It Compares to Other Clear Proteins

Most clear proteins are standard hydrolysed whey in fruit flavours — they're clear because hydrolysed whey stays clear in water. ISO CLEAAR is meaningfully different: dairy-free protein sources, the Leuvate™ amino blend for faster MPS initiation, no sugar, and PVL's quality standard (heavy metal tested, GMP certified). For a standard post-workout whey protein, compare PVL Clean Mass XL or browse the full protein range. For another clear protein option, see Inspired Protein Water or Muscle Nation Sour Protein Water.

Directions

Add 1 scoop to cold water and shake or stir. Drink immediately — the formula is designed for cold water consumption. Serve over ice for the best experience on warmer days. Use anytime you want protein without the heaviness of a conventional shake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it actually completely clear?

Yes — it mixes completely clear with no cloudiness, no sediment and no milky residue. The dairy-free protein sources and formula design mean it stays clear in cold water, unlike some clear proteins that turn slightly cloudy.

Why dairy-free?

Dairy protein (whey, casein) is what causes the cloudiness and milky texture in standard shakes. Removing it allows the clear format and lighter digestion. ISO CLEAAR uses beef protein isolate and plant-based proteins instead — complete protein sources that work in a clear, refreshing format.

What does Leuvate™ taste like?

Amino acids in free-form can taste bitter in some products. PVL's flavour development has addressed this — the Blue Slushie, Summer Peach and Grape Refresher flavours are designed to taste like the drinks they're named after, not like amino acids in fruit juice.

Can I use it as my only protein source?

It's a supplement, not a food — 20g per serve is meaningful but most active people need 100–160g+ of total daily protein. ISO CLEAAR works best as an additional protein source alongside whole food meals and, if needed, a conventional protein shake on heavier training days.

Is it tested for banned substances?

Yes — PVL tests all products for heavy metals and maintains GMP certification. Many PVL products are Informed Choice certified for banned substances; confirm the current testing status of ISO CLEAAR with your supplier for competitive athlete use.
