Brand Spotlight

Clean Machine!

For a long time, plant-based athletes have had to make do with protein powders that tick one box and leave the rest of the routine to a shelf full of supplements.

Clean Machine wanted to rethink that. MycelPro-1™ is a whole-food mycelium protein created for people who care about strength, recovery and long-term health. Each serving delivers complete protein to support training, prebiotic fibre for gut comfort, and spermidine, a naturally occurring compound associated with cellular renewal.

It is a different approach to sports nutrition. Rather than building another isolated protein powder, Clean Machine has created something designed to support more of the body in one daily serving.

For vegans who train regularly, that matters. Performance is not only about how much protein you consume. Digestion, recovery, consistency and the quality of what you put into your body all play a part too.

Each serving contains:

✅ 20g complete protein

✅ 10g natural prebiotic fibre

✅ 69mg naturally occurring spermidine

✅ 100% whole-food nutrition

PBN readers can use code PBN10 for 10% off MycelPro-1™ for a limited time.
