Scitec Protein Coffee

Overview

Here’s what Scitec have to say:

This PROTEIN COFFEE formula is a no sugar added, high-quality whey protein coffee with caffeine (decaffeinated and extra sugar containing versions are also available)! It provides an effective 27 g dose of whey protein with 100 mgs of caffeine combining the two popular sports supplement ingredients. Whey protein from milk is a so-called complete protein, because it provides the body with all necessary amino acids, including the 9 amino acids (i.e. Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine) that are considered essential for life, because the body cannot synthesize them. Determination of the nutritional efficiency of protein in the diet is in most cases based on estimating the extent to which dietary protein nitrogen is absorbed and retained by the body and is able to balance daily nitrogen losses. Net Protein Utilisation (NPU) is the percentage of ingested nitrogen that is retained in the body, and the Biological Value (BV) gives the percentage of absorbed nitrogen that is retained. Biological Value is the product of NPU and digestibility. Whey protein has good digestibility and amino acid composition, thus it's Biological Value is great compared to other dietary protein sources like meat, fish, eggs or soy. Dietary proteins are the source of nitrogen and indispensable amino acids, which the body requires for tissue growth and maintenance. Therefore, PROTEIN COFFEE's protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.

So you get a fantastic 27g’s of protein from a mug of coffee. What more needs to be said! That’s my idea of heaven.

Taste

It tastes better than a normal cup of instant coffee! This is a phenomenal tasting product. I was worried that it wouldn’t taste right but after my first cup all of those fears disappeared.

Price

£29.99 for a 1kg tub which gives you 25 servings. So its not that cheap but much cheaper and more healthy than 25 Starbucks!

Results

So its all good news right? Well not quite, it does have some problems when it comes to mixing the coffee, I had a couple of lumps each and every time I had my coffee. Apart from some mixing issues this is a perfect product. It’s perfect for use at any time of day, personally I had it first thing in the morning and mid afternoon. It’s far from an essential in your supplement regime buts its perfect for the coffee lovers out there who want an extra protein source in their diet. 9/10
