Scitec Anabolic Whey


 ANABOLIC WHEY

Overview
Here is what Scitec have to say:

Anabolic Whey is an engineered blend of ultrafiltered whey protein concentrates, whey protein isolates (containing lactoglobulin, lactoferrin, lactalbumin and immunoglobulin protein fractions) and complete milk protein. We also added Glutamine and Taurine, two abundant amino acids in the human body.

Milk proteins – especially whey protein – are the most popular bodybuilding proteins, no question about it. Also, they are among the highest quality protein sources.

21.5g of protein is a little bit lower than I expected but its not too low to be effective. The protein is from a blend of whey and complete milk protein meaning that the absorption speed will vary from fast to slow keeping your muscles drip fed for a few hours.

Included are Creatine, Glutamine and Taurine this is in a blend so I’m not 100% sure on how much each item is dosed at but all 3 make good inclusions.

There certainly is no frills with Anabolic Whey everything that Scitec has included is an “active” ingredient there are no fillers at all.  

Taste
I used the Vanilla flavour for this review and whilst it was a little bit bland it was pleasant to drink and mixed up very well leaving no grit or clumps. It has quite a sweet aftertaste but not unpleasant.

Side Effects
None

Price
£24.49 for a tub with 30 servings in.

Results
Anabolic Whey sets out to be a versatile protein shake that can be used at any time of day. Due to the fast and slow release proteins it could be an option for a night time shake, breakfast protein boost, post-workout muscle builder or just a mid-afternoon macro hitting snack.

Everything works about Anabolic Whey, it does have a few flaws but nothing major. 21.5g of protein is a little bit low I usually like my shakes around the 25-30 mark. The flavour is a little bit bland but fortunately it comes in 4 others. There isn’t really anything new or groundbreaking here it is just a safe bet for a good quality protein shake.

Scitec have priced this very competitively and reasonably I think, I would be happy to pay £25 for this product.

Anabolic Whey is a reliable, cost effective, good quality all round protein shake 8/10
