Protein Science 80% Whey


 

Overview
Here’s what Protein Science have to say:

80% WHEY is designed to transport highly bioavailable protein for an efficient and rapid uptake to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.
80% Whey contains high levels of naturally occurring Branched Chain Amino Acids which are vital in the manufacture, maintenance and repair of muscle tissue.
80% WHEY is rapidly absorbed, making the protein available for muscle building more quickly and allowing the amino acids to be effectively utilised by the body to prevent muscle tissue breakdown.
80% WHEY:
• Aids Protein Synthesis
• Maintains and Repairs Muscle Tissue
• Supports Lean Muscle Mass
80% WHEY is the definitive premium whey protein designed to effectively aid in increasing lean muscle mass.

Protein Science have adopted a nice simple formula for their flagship product. 24g of protein made up from Whey Concentrate and Isolate with low fats and low carbs. It’s a simple but proven formula. 

The only negative I have is that Sucralose has been used where Stevia might have been the healthier option. That’s a very minor gripe though.

Taste
I had the Vanilla and whilst it tasted fine like most Vanilla shakes it gets a little bit bland the longer you use it for. Fortunately Protein Science also make 80% Whey in Toffee, Chocolate & Banana for varieties sake. It mixes very well in a standard shaker.

Side Effects
None

Price
£34.99 for a 2.25kg tub with 75 servings in meaning each shake works out to £0.47.

Results
Whey Protein shakes are likely your most used supplement and they help with so many vital things like muscle growth, maintenance, recovery, fat loss, basically anything fitness related a good whey can help. So there are a few key areas all whey products should excel at:

Nutritional Breakdown – if it’s loaded with bad sugar it’ll defeat the purpose.
Taste – you’re going to be drinking a lot of these so it helps if it tastes good.
Price – supplements are expensive so value is key.

Protein Science 80% Whey does have a very good nutritional breakdown, providing a solid 24g of protein with only 0.7g of sugars, low fat and carb too. The Vanilla flavour was a little bland but certainly not unpleasant and I never had any issues drinking it. Coming in at 47p a serving Protein Science’s offering won’t break the bank. Clearly Protein Science 80% Whey ticks all these boxes.

80% Whey is a basic supplement but a very versatile so it could be slotted into any diet plan to help you meet your goals. If you need a day to day protein shake then you can’t go far wrong with 80% Whey – plus they have some good bundle offers with this product included. 8/10
