Scitec Whey Protein Superb


 

Overview
Here’s what Scitec have to say:

The first aspects one experiences when using a protein is mixability and taste. Everything else comes after these! 100% WHEY PROTEIN SUPERB is supremely awesome tasting, mixes easily, and of course provides protein from one of the finest protein sources on Earth. On top of it all, it has real fruit pieces, chocolate shreds or whey-rice crunchy crisps (depending on the specific flavour)! Is there a better, tastier way to deliver your desired amount of protein in one sitting?
100% WHEY PROTEIN SUPERB is a tremendously high-quality protein exclusively from cold-processed whey. Dietary proteins are a source of nitrogen and essential amino acids, which the body requires for tissue growth and maintenance. That’s why 100% WHEY PROTEIN SUPERB contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, and also to the maintenance of normal bones. Whey protein from milk is a complete protein, because it 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 (“essential” aminos): Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine,
Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine.

At only 20.5g of protein (100% whey) it’s slightly on the low side but the Carbs and Fat are kept to manageable levels.

There isn’t much else to this shake, asides from a few extra added amino acids, it’s purely designed to be a nice tasting shake to help you get in extra calories and protein.

Taste
I had the Vanilla flavour which did taste exceptionally nice, the flavour itself is much better than a normal shake, it’s very smooth as well. The strange bit though is the crunchy whey flakes that they put in. It didn’t taste bad but just made it look like the shake hasn’t mixed properly even when it had.

Side Effects
None

Price
£22.94 for a 900g tub with 30 servings in.

Results
I like products that focus on one primary purpose and do it well. Whey Protein Superb is all about providing a protein boost in the best tasting whey (bad pun alert). Scitec fully accomplish this as Superb tastes amazingly good. As it only delivers 20.5g of protein it is likely that you will need another shake it your stack but that’s fine as this isn’t supposed to be a post workout or recovery shake, I used it as a dessert, Superb is a healthy, muscle building treat.

Its fairly cheap at only 75p per serving meaning you can treat yourself without breaking the bank.

It mixes well and taste amazing, the decision to add a bit of texture and crunch to the shake doesn’t quite work for me but you might love it. 9/10
