You won’t find any filler material in here, this is as stripped down and back to basics as it gets. This is a whey protein product and that’s it, it doesn’t pretend to be anything that its not. This has one purpose and that’s to help you hit your MACROs.

The Sugars are slightly higher than I like to see but the overall carbs and fats have been kept nice and low.

Taste
I had the Strawberry flavour and its tastes very pleasant, not grainy or overly sweet but a nice flavour with a good consistency.

Side Effects
None

Price
£35.99 for a 908g tub which has 20 servings in.

Results
This is the new formula of Ultra Whey that Sci-MX have put together, the old one had some problems, it didn’t taste great and it had some mixing issues, these have all been ironed out and what we are left with is an excellent Whey product that tastes great and mixes with ease.

You get a big protein hit with 35g , a manageable amount of carbs and fats and thrown in as a bonus a decent helping of BCAAs and a nice serving of Glutamine.

The purpose of products like this are to help you hit your MACROs but as a wonderful side effect it will build, repair and feed your muscles but its not a gainer, it will assist you in losing body fat but its not a diet protein. The results you get from this will depend entirely on what your goal is, it can be slotted into any nutritional program and cycle. It is incredibly versatile.

It is slightly pricey so it’s a good thing that Sci-MX nearly always have a special offer on their website. Every little helps.

Overall this is a massive improvement on the previous formula and it would be an excellent addition to your supplement stack. 8/10
