Scitec 100% Beef Concentrate Review

 

Overview

Here’s what Scitec have to say:

Beef has legendary status among hard training, goal oriented athletes – many people experience better gains consuming this meat over chicken. So why not have beef protein shakes when quality powdered raw material is available? 

Our 100% BEEF CONCENTRATE is a complete, hydrolyzed beef peptide protein manufactured from fresh beef raw material, a 100% natural product with no hormones used. It is an enzymatically hydrolyzed (virtually “predigested”) beef protein, which means that its digestion and absorption will be fast. A complete protein, such as ours, provides the body with all the necessary types of amino acids, including the 9 amino acids the body cannot synthesize and must be supplied by the diet (i.e. Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine).

100% BEEF CONCENTRATE is a tremendous alternative to milk proteins, especially over controversial soy proteins! Obviously for many people lactose intolerance or even milk allergy can be a serious problem, while many others follow some degree of a paleo diet, where dairy products are excluded and meat protein sources are favored. (The beef raw material contains no lactose, but this product is manufactured in a facility that processes lactose containing milk products!) Our beef protein has no added Creatine! Why tie your Creatine use and exact dosing (or lack thereof) to a protein product? Made no sense to us! Many beef protein products suffer from bad taste! Our beef protein tastes great, try it for yourself! Dietary proteins are the source of nitrogen and indispensable amino acids, which the body requires for tissue growth and maintenance. Therefore our 100% BEEF CONCENTRATE contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, and also to the maintenance of normal bones.

First let’s get one thing out the way, I can’t make sense of providing a scoop that isn’t the right size? Slightly low on the protein as well 19g’s is a little lower than I like to see. Doubling up is possible though.

Taste

I have to say I wasn't sure if I liked the idea of an almond chocolate flavoured beef protein shake but I was pleasantly surprised, the flavour was spot on. It mixed really well and had a lovely smooth texture, I didn't have a single lump. I tried it with water and with milk and both turned out great. Very good quality.

Price

£24.24 for a 1kg tub that has 33 (approx) very high quality servings in.

Side Effects

None.

Results

The fact that this is a beef protein means it is great for any lactose intolerant people that struggle with a good whey/soy protein. This is a food supplement shake best used after exercise to resupply your body with much needed nitrogen and amino acids. When used in the correct way your body recovers better, especially after weights and as it's 100% beef concentrate it will contribute to muscle growth and maintenance of muscle mass. On the whole I am very pleased with the results I received. With its great taste and easy mixing I think that this is an excellent product, and caters for everything you and your muscles need. My main criticism is the silly scoop size but that it’s a very minor gripe 9/10
