Dairy-free on the front of a tub does not tell you what is inside. The label does. Tissue work with the TimTam PowerMassager PRO sits in the same recovery system as protein, so this guide covers the fuel side.

What should you check on a dairy-free protein powder label?

Check the protein source, the full ingredient list, and the sweetener. Dairy-free means no whey, casein, or milk derivatives, so the protein comes from another source such as collagen, pea, or rice. Then read the rest of the list for added sugar, fillers, and flavors you may not want.

A short list is easier to judge than a long one.

What protein source does Premium Protein use?

TimTam lists grass-fed, pasture-raised hydrolyzed beef collagen peptide, with 19g of protein per serving. The other ingredients are cocoa powder and stevia leaf extract. TimTam states it contains no dairy, soy, gluten, or added sugar. Those are the claims on the page, so confirm them on the label you hold.

The page does not list a serving size or servings per container.

Is collagen a complete protein?

No. Collagen is not a complete protein, which means it does not supply every essential amino acid in the amounts a complete source does. That does not make it useless. It means collagen works best as one source among several, with whole-food protein at your meals.

Power + Performance is a separate product, a single-ingredient deer antler velvet listing 1,000 mg per serving. Athletes subject to drug testing should check with their governing body before using it.

What does hydrolyzed mean for mixing?

Hydrolyzed means the protein is broken into smaller peptides, which helps it dissolve in liquid. That matters for people who skip protein powders because they clump. Mix with cold liquid first, then stir or shake. Taste and texture decide whether you use it consistently.

Consistent use matters more than the exact moment you drink it.

How do you fit it into a training day?

Use a protein serving when a meal is not practical, such as after a session. Premium Protein fits that role. Patriot Brew Coffee is a morning option, with 10g of grass-fed hydrolyzed collagen peptides and 100% Arabica instant coffee, and it dissolves in hot or cold water. Keep whole-food protein at your meals either way.
