Smart-Tec WheyFX+


 

Overview
Here’s what Smart-Tec have to say:

WheyFX+ is an industry leading Whey protein; packed with Hydrolysed whey, huge amounts of BCAA's and Glutamine and delivers 25g of the best tasting protein per 33g serving.
WheyFx+ is the flagship product from the Strength and Performance range, a premium quality whey protein supplement designed to provide the highest quality amino acid profile to accelerate recovery from intense training and increase lean muscle development. Suitable for both men and women, WheyFx+ is the perfect protein supplement for any individual looking for only the finest quality supplements to support their training goals.

Hydrolysed Whey Protein Isolate for Rapid Absorption:
WheyFX+ now features hydrolysed whey protein, the fastest absorbing fraction of whey protein available. This guarantees the user the fastest possible delivery of amino acids, dramatically accelerating recovery from intense training and muscular tissue repair. Due to the speed of absorption of this protein fraction, WheyFX+ is ideal for use around training sessions and first thing in the morning, when your body needs the fastest possible supply of amino acids to raise nitrogen balance.

Nutritional Information

Per Serving

25g of protein is a fairly standard amount for a whey protein shake and the they have kept the Carbs and Fats relatively low as well. The Sugar could be a touch lower than 1.9g.

The protein itself is primarily made up of Whey Protein Concentrate but also features Hydrolysed and Isolate so this concoction should be ideal for a protein shake post workout or upon waking when your body needs protein to be absorbed quickly.

Taste
I had the Vanilla Custard Cream and it was delicious. It was really, really good. It mixed up beautifully in a standard shaker, you didn’t need to use a blender and there were never any lumps. I had double shakes and they also mixed up well but did get a little sickly towards the end. This wasn’t a problem when only having a single serving.

Side Effects
None

Price
£26.95 for a 990g bag with 30 servings in or £49.99 for a 2.145kg bag with 65 servings in.

Results
This is the first Smart-Tec product I have ever used and it certainly won’t be the last if this is the quality that they can produce. I think this is an excellent protein shake, it ticks all the boxes, it has a good nutritional profile, it tastes great, it mixes well and its decent value. The flavour is spot on and it mixed up without any issues. The sugar content is higher than I normally like to see but it’s not a deal breaker. It provides a great protein hit as well with 25g of both rapid absorption protein and slower absorbing ones. It keeps you full but only for about an hour or so, I found it great for in between meals to keep me on track. It also doesn’t tie itself down to one season, it would be a handy supplement to keep in your cupboard and use year round. Since it provides 25g of protein per serving it would fit very nicely into either a bulking or a cutting nutritional plan. I don't really have anything bad to say about WheyFX+ it is a very good choice for a protein shake. 8/10
