Scitec 100% Beef Muscle

 

Overview

Here’s what Scitec have to say:

Our HYDROLYZED BEEF ISOLATE PEPTIDES 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 source, 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). We also added an extra 2 grams of free L-Leucine to the product, which is one of the most important essential amino acids! Dietary proteins are the source of nitrogen and essential amino acids, which the body requires for tissue growth and maintenance. Therefore our 100% BEEF MUSCLE with its protein content contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, and also to the maintenance of normal bones.

100% BEEF MUSCLE provides ample amounts of several types of carbohydrates – including the popular waxy maize starch – to fuel hard workouts and metabolic processes. Many beef protein products suffer from bad taste! Our beef protein tastes great, try it for yourself!

Very low fat for a gainer which makes a bit of a change, 0g of Sugar is fantastic and a fairly standard 29.5g of protein. High Carb count helps get the calories in and keeps your energy high for those high intensity workouts.

Taste

It makes for a thick shake as do most gainers, it mixes very well and tastes great. I used the Creamy Vanilla flavour and was pleasantly surprised, there was no nasty aftertaste and was nice and filling to be used as a meal replacement or if you are splitting your meals out throughout the day then it would make a perfect meal between meals.

Price

£55 for 30 servings. Gainers are never cheap but this does seem a little pricey.

Side Effects

I had some slight bloating with the first gew servings but I think that was just my body reacting to the higher carbs after switching from a low carb diet to a high carb one. Nothing to worry about.

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 designed to pack on slabs of rock hard muscle and I have precisely zero doubts that is exactly what will happen if used for a prolonged period of time, probably about 3-4 weeks to start to see a difference, maybe less. It tastes great, has a decent amount of servings per tub, its filling, it’s great to have post workout and as its beef protein means it will have a great amino profile. Personally I’m not normally a fan off mass gainers but this one isn’t a 1000 calorie fat gainer but a nice controllable 388 calorie so it will work into your MACROs and assist you to bulk up. My only concern is the high price tag but all of Scitec’s products are very competitively priced so I imagine this will drop in no time at all. Basically I can’t wait for the “off season” to really put this to work. 8/10
