Overview
Reflex
Nutrition have this to say:
INSTANT WHEY™, our market leading whey protein
has now been improved to provide an ever more advanced formulation that is
simply unbeaten in the market. It is now called INSTANT WHEY™ PRO in
recognition of the four friendly bacteria that have been included which deliver
a total of 2 billion friendly bacteria per 100g of product and includes;
Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bacillus coagulans and
Lactobacillus rhamnosus. These friendly bacteria have distinct and unique
characteristics.
Instant Whey™ PRO continues to deliver additional high quality glutamine peptides, whey peptides in combination with a 25% increase in Digezyme® Enzyme complex which provides Protease, Amylase, Lipase and Lactase enzymes.
The main ingredients in INSTANT WHEY™ PRO are whey isolates which are
90% protein. Some brands include these, but currently none use native whey
isolate as a main ingredient; this is the ultimate A+ grade whey protein that
is extracted directly from fresh skimmed milk at low temperature using ultra
and cross-flow microfiltration resulting in a product that contains up to 166%
more bioavailable cystine and 16% more leucine in comparison to other forms of
whey. INSTANT WHEY™ PRO also includes the new improved super CFM whey protein
isolate, hydrolysed whey proteins and pure undenatured whey protein concentrate
- all European sourced and guaranteed to be completely free from rBST,
antibiotics and other unwanted impurities.

The
protein per servings is on the low side with only 20g’s but everything else
looks good. There is 1g of sugar and I normally like to see that a little bit
lower but its not excessive. The Fat’s and Carb’s have been kept very low as
well which is to Instant Whey Pro’s advantage as it makes it a much more versatile
protein.
Taste
I
reviewed the Raspberry Delight flavour and it was very nice but you have to
leave it to stand for a minute or two as it was slightly frothy when you mix it
up. The consistency was perfect every time not too thick or too thin. I had
several double servings to increase my protein intake and it didn’t change the
taste or consistency at all.
Side Effects
None
Price
£39.99
for 900g which provides 36 servings so it is rather pricey.
Results
You
really can’t fault the taste and texture of Reflex Instant Whey Pro. It is
easily one of the nicest protein shakes I’ve ever used. I had no mixing
problems and when a double serving was used it mixed up just as easily and still
had a great consistency. The protein content per serving is on the low side I normally
like to see it between 25g and 30g but the Carb, Sugar and Fat content is very
good for a Whey protein. Instant Whey Pro is a very versatile shake it would
fit perfectly into any diet plan, if you’re bulking it’ll help you get the extra
protein in and if you are on a strict calorie controlled cutting phase then it’s
only 97cal and that 20g of protein will help preserve your muscle mass.
The
only real down side is the price, it is rather expensive but I would think that
you’d be able to find it on offer easily enough. Instant Whey Pro is an
excellent, if slightly expensive, protein shake and it’s no wonder that Reflex
Nutrition are one of the top names in the supplement business if they can
produce products of this quality. 8/10
