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
