Protein Shakes Designed Specifically for Women's Nutritional Needs
Women's protein requirements are distinct - influenced by hormonal cycles, metabolic differences and specific health priorities that a standard protein shake doesn't account for. At Protein Works, we developed Sune to address this gap - a protein shake formulated specifically around the physiological and nutritional needs of women.
Sune is built on a premium protein blend chosen for both its quality and its digestibility. It's complemented by a tailored micronutrient profile - targeting energy, hormonal balance and overall daily wellbeing - rather than simply being a standard protein formula in different packaging.
Protein plays a critical role in women's health at every stage of life. It supports muscle maintenance (particularly important during hormonal transitions), immune function, bone health and cognitive performance. Research consistently shows that women who regularly meet their protein targets report better energy levels, improved body composition and stronger long-term health outcomes.
Beyond Sune, our broader protein powder range and weight loss shakes are all suitable for women with different goals. Use our product finder quiz to get a personalised recommendation in under a minute.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily - standard protein shakes are effective for women. However, women's nutritional needs differ from men's in meaningful ways, particularly around hormonal health, iron, folate, and micronutrient requirements that shift across different life stages. A protein shake formulated specifically for women goes beyond protein content to address these broader nutritional needs, making it a more complete option for women who want targeted support rather than a generic formula.
A genuinely women-specific protein shake differs from a standard formula in its micronutrient profile. Women have distinct requirements for nutrients such as iron, folate, vitamin D, and B vitamins - particularly during hormonal transitions. A well-formulated women's protein shake integrates these alongside a high-quality protein blend, rather than simply repackaging a standard product. It should also be low in sugar, high in fibre, and designed with digestibility in mind.
Protein plays an important role in hormonal health - amino acids are the building blocks for many of the body's hormones and neurotransmitters. Consistently meeting daily protein targets supports energy regulation, mood stability, and metabolic function, all of which are influenced by hormonal balance. Some women's protein formulas also include specific micronutrients such as B6 and magnesium, which contribute to normal hormonal activity and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
No. This is one of the most persistent misconceptions in nutrition. Building significant muscle mass requires a sustained calorie surplus and heavy progressive resistance training - it doesn't just happen by accident or from a single dietary supplement.
General guidelines recommend 0.8g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight for sedentary women, rising to 1.6g–2.0g per kilogram for those who lead active lifestyles. Requirements also increase during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and perimenopause. Many women fall short of even the baseline recommendation through diet alone, making a daily protein shake a practical and effective way to close the gap.
Women can enjoy protein shakes at any time during the day. Often consumed as a part of breakfast or a mid-morning snack, a protein shake helps stabilise blood sugar and reduce cravings throughout the day - particularly useful for women managing energy levels around hormonal cycles. Consistency matters more than timing; a shake taken daily at a convenient time will deliver better results than one taken sporadically at the 'perfect' moment.
