Red Dragon Nutritionals Dragon Whey Protein
Product details
On this page
Red Dragon Nutritionals Dragon Whey is an Australian whey protein blend with 25.5 g of protein in every 35 g scoop. The blend mixes fast-digesting whey protein isolate with whey concentrate and slower-digesting calcium caseinate, so the protein reaches your muscles over a longer time. Each scoop also has 100 mg of DigeZyme, a blend of 5 digestive enzymes. A scoop has 131 calories, 3.6 g of carbs and 1.5 g of fat. Choose a 907 g tub (26 serves) or a 2.27 kg tub (65 serves), in 8 dessert flavours.
Why choose Dragon Whey protein
Red Dragon Nutritionals made Dragon Whey with a sustained-release blend of the finest quality proteins, to be the most versatile, clean and gut-friendly whey protein on the market. Dragon Whey is perfect after training, between meals or to satisfy those sweet milkshake cravings.
Dragon Whey is versatile enough to be the ideal addition to oats, smoothies and homemade protein snacks, with no chalky texture or protein aftertaste. Red Dragon Nutritionals is proud to offer one of the smoothest, creamiest WPI-dominant blends on the market.
Dragon Whey also includes DigeZyme®, a multi-enzyme complex of gluten-free, GMO-free, broad-acting digestive enzymes. That makes Dragon Whey as gut-friendly as whey protein comes.
What Dragon Whey helps with
- Building muscle: 25.5 g of protein and 2.7 g of leucine per scoop to support muscle growth when you train.
- Recovery after training: whey isolate digests fast, so your muscles get protein soon after a workout.
- Staying full between meals: calcium caseinate digests slowly, which makes Dragon Whey a good snack or before-bed shake.
- Easier digestion: DigeZyme adds amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase and lactase to help your body break down the shake.
- Cooking and baking: Dragon Whey mixes into oats, smoothies, pancakes and protein snacks.

Ingredients
Protein blend (whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, calcium caseinate, whey powder), flavours, salt, gum blend (guar gum, xanthan gum), anti-caking agent (silica), DigeZyme digestive enzyme blend (alpha-amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, lactase), emulsifiers (soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin) and sweeteners (sucralose, acesulfame potassium). Chocolate flavours also contain cocoa. Contains milk and soy.
What is a whey blend?
A whey blend mixes more than one type of protein. Dragon Whey uses four:
- Whey protein isolate (WPI): filtered for more protein and less lactose, fat and carbs. Digests fast.
- Whey protein concentrate (WPC): less filtered, with a creamier taste. Also digests fast.
- Calcium caseinate: a milk protein that digests slowly.
- Whey powder: adds body and flavour.
Whey isolate is listed first, so isolate is the main protein in the blend. A blend like Dragon Whey gives you a creamier shake and a better price per serve than a pure isolate. If regular whey upsets your stomach, a pure isolate like International Protein Amino Charged WPI has much less lactose.
Sizes and value
- 907 g tub: 26 serves, about $4.61 a serve. A good way to try a flavour.
- 2.27 kg tub: 65 serves, about $3.54 a serve. The best value, and lasts about 2 months at one scoop a day.
8 flavours
Banana Ice Cream, Choc Banana Split, Choc Caramel, Chocolate Milkshake, Hokey Pokey, Strawberry Milk, Toasted Cinnamon Cereal and Vanilla Ice Cream, all in both tub sizes. Chocolate Milkshake and Vanilla Ice Cream are the easiest to bake or cook with. Hokey Pokey and Toasted Cinnamon Cereal are the dessert picks. Not sure which to pick? Dragon Whey is covered by our Love the Taste Guarantee. Try up to 5 serves within 30 days. If you don't love the flavour, swap for another or take store credit.
How to take Dragon Whey
Add 1 full scoop (35 g) to a shaker, fill with about 200 ml of cold water or milk, and shake well. Water gives you the leanest shake. Milk makes a thicker, creamier shake with more protein and calories. Good times to have Dragon Whey:
- After training: to support recovery.
- Between meals: as a snack that keeps you full.
- Before bed: the casein in the blend digests slowly through the night.
- In food: stir into oats or yoghurt, blend into smoothies, or bake into protein pancakes and muffins.
Who should take Dragon Whey?
Dragon Whey is a good fit for lifters and gym-goers who want a tasty, creamy shake at a good price per serve, people who like to cook with protein powder, and anyone who wants one protein for both after training and between meals. If you need a lactose-light protein for a sensitive stomach, pick a pure isolate instead.
Dragon Whey and creatine
Protein and creatine do different jobs. Dragon Whey gives your muscles the protein they need to repair. Creatine monohydrate helps your muscles make the quick energy they use for heavy lifts and sprints. Most people take 3 to 5 g of creatine a day, and creatine has no taste, so you can add creatine to your Dragon Whey shake.
What to take with Dragon Whey
- Creatine: add 3 to 5 g a day of Booty N Buff Essential Creatine, or try The Gummy Co Creatine Gummies if you don't like powders.
- Red Dragon Creatine: the same brand also makes Red Dragon Nutritionals Creatine.
- Electrolytes: for long or sweaty sessions, sip Dr. Hydrate while you train.
- During training: sip Red Dragon Dragon Fuel for EAAs and electrolytes, then have Dragon Whey after.

Allergens and side effects
Dragon Whey contains milk and soy. Dragon Whey is not lactose free, but the lactase enzyme in DigeZyme helps break down lactose. People with a milk allergy should not use Dragon Whey. Some people notice mild bloating when they first add a protein shake, so start with one scoop a day and drink plenty of water. Not suitable for children under 15 or pregnant women.
