Scitec 100% Whey Isolate

💪 21g of protein per 25g serving — 83g per 100g — 100% WPI

At 83g of protein per 100g of powder, Scitec 100% Whey Isolate provides one of the highest protein-to-powder ratios available in the commercial market. This is a direct consequence of using exclusively WPI — the most purified and protein-dense form of whey — with zero WPC to dilute the protein content. Each 25g serving provides 21g of protein at 93 kcal — a protein-to-calorie ratio of 90 kcal per gram of protein, among the best available in any protein supplement format.

⚡ Fastest-absorbing dairy protein — peak amino acids within 60 minutes

Whey protein isolate is the fastest-absorbing protein available — reaching peak plasma amino acid concentrations within 45 to 60 minutes of consumption. The absence of fat and lactose (both of which slow gastric emptying) and the microfiltration processing that produces smaller, more uniform protein particles make WPI absorb faster than WPC or casein. For the post-workout anabolic window — where the speed of amino acid delivery to muscle tissue determines how effectively the training stimulus is converted to muscle protein synthesis — WPI is the definitive choice.

🔬 L-Glutamine 1320mg + L-Arginine 248mg — the added active matrix

Each 25g serving of Scitec 100% Whey Isolate provides 1320mg of L-glutamine beyond the naturally occurring glutamine already present in the whey protein matrix — bringing the total glutamine and glutamic acid content to over 4.5g per serving. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle, supporting immune function, muscle nitrogen balance and glycogen recovery during intense training periods. The 248mg of L-arginine per serving additionally supports nitric oxide production and post-workout vasodilation, enhancing blood flow and nutrient delivery to recovering muscle tissue.

🥛 Naturally low lactose — suitable for many lactose-sensitive individuals

The additional microfiltration processing that produces WPI removes virtually all lactose from the whey fraction — reducing residual lactose to below 1g per 100g. For athletes who are lactose-sensitive (but not severely lactose-intolerant), WPI is typically well-tolerated without the digestive discomfort that WPC can cause in this population. Note: Scitec does not make a lactose-free claim — individuals with severe lactose intolerance should consult the current product label and their physician.

🌿 Sugar-free, gluten-free, palm oil free

All six stocked flavours are declared sugar-free (sucralose and acesulfame K as sweeteners), gluten-free per EU regulations and contain no palm oil — the vegetable fat whose environmental and saturated fat profile is increasingly a concern for health-conscious consumers. The emulsifier in the whey isolate itself is soy lecithin, not palm oil.

🏆 Complete amino acid profile — 35.5g EAAs per 100g including 8.1g leucine

The full amino acid panel is declared on the label: 35.5g of essential amino acids (EAAs) per 100g including 8.1g of leucine — the primary trigger for mTOR-mediated muscle protein synthesis — alongside 4.4g of isoleucine, 4.2g of valine (completing the BCAA triad at 16.7g BCAAs per 100g) and 7.0g of lysine.

🎯 Goal guide

🏋️ Mass gain: 1 to 2 scoops/day — post-workout and morning. WPI’s speed of absorption maximises the post-workout anabolic window. At 93 kcal per scoop, multiple scoops can be consumed without disrupting daily macro targets.

🔥 Weight loss / cutting: 1 scoop/day post-workout. 21g of protein at 93 kcal — the highest protein-to-calorie ratio of any macronutrient source. Zero fat, negligible carbs.

⚖️ Body recomposition: 1 to 2 scoops/day. Pure WPI for maximum protein synthesis stimulus at minimal caloric cost — the definitive cutting-phase protein.

Serving suggestion

Mix ¾ scoop (25g) in 250ml of cold water. Shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until fully dissolved. WPI dissolves faster and more completely than WPC — a standard shaker is sufficient. Scitec recommends consuming after training on training days, and in the afternoon on rest days.

Best times to enjoy it

🏋️ Immediately post-workout (primary recommendation)

WPI reaches peak plasma amino acid concentrations within 45 to 60 minutes — the fastest absorption of any protein form. Consuming immediately after training maximises the anabolic stimulus during the post-workout window of elevated muscle insulin sensitivity and glycogen transporter activity.

🌅 Morning — reversing overnight catabolism

After 7 to 9 hours of fasting during sleep, plasma amino acid levels are at their daily minimum and muscle protein balance is at its most negative. A WPI shake at breakfast provides the fastest possible amino acid spike to reverse overnight catabolism — significantly faster than eggs, Greek yoghurt or WPC.

☀️ Between meals — rapid protein top-up

At 93 kcal and 21g of protein per scoop, WPI is the most calorie-efficient between-meal protein source available. Mixed in 250ml of water, it is consumed in under 2 minutes and contributes a meaningful protein dose without any preparation effort.

🔥 Pre-workout (30 to 60 minutes before training)

For athletes who train in a fasted or semi-fasted state, a pre-workout WPI scoop provides amino acids that will be available during training without the digestive burden of a full meal — WPI’s rapid gastric emptying minimises the risk of discomfort during training compared to slower-digesting protein sources.

Q1 — What is the difference between whey protein isolate (WPI) and whey protein concentrate (WPC) and why does it matter?

WPC and WPI both come from whey — the liquid separated from milk during cheese production — but they undergo different levels of filtration. WPC is filtered to approximately 70 to 80% protein by weight, retaining 4 to 8g of fat and 3 to 6g of lactose per 100g alongside the protein. WPI undergoes additional microfiltration or ion exchange processing to reach 90%+ protein by weight, with less than 1g of fat and less than 1g of lactose per 100g. Scitec 100% Whey Isolate achieves 83g of protein per 100g — significantly above standard WPC and at the high end of the WPI category. The practical differences are: more protein per gram of powder (less powder needed for the same dose), less fat and lactose (better tolerated by sensitive individuals and lower caloric cost per gram of protein) and faster absorption (WPI empties from the stomach faster without the fat and lactose that slow gastric emptying in WPC).

Q2 — Why does the Cookies & Cream flavour contain caffeine?

The Cookies & Cream flavour’s ingredient list declares “flavourings — contains caffeine” — indicating that the flavouring system used to produce the cookies and cream character includes a caffeine-containing component, likely from coffee or chocolate-based flavouring compounds. The exact caffeine quantity per serving is not specifically declared beyond this mandatory EU notification. For athletes who are caffeine-sensitive, who train in the evening or who want to avoid caffeine entirely, the other five stocked flavours (Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, Chocolate Hazelnut, Banana) do not carry this declaration.

Q3 — Is Scitec 100% Whey Isolate suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals?

WPI has significantly less residual lactose than WPC — typically less than 1g per 100g vs 3 to 6g in WPC. Most individuals with mild to moderate lactose sensitivity tolerate WPI without the digestive discomfort associated with WPC or liquid milk. However, Scitec does not make a certified lactose-free claim on this product. Individuals with severe lactose intolerance should verify the current label’s lactose declaration and consult a physician or dietician before use.

Q4 — How does Scitec 100% Whey Isolate compare to ON Gold Standard 100% Whey?

Both are premium products in the whey protein category, but they differ in protein source composition. Gold Standard 100% Whey uses WPI as its first ingredient but also includes WPC and hydrolysed whey peptides — producing a multi-source whey blend at approximately 76g protein per 100g. Scitec 100% Whey Isolate uses exclusively WPI at 83g protein per 100g — a higher protein density from a single, purer source. Gold Standard is a broader, more accessible whey blend at a competitive price; Scitec WPI is the higher-protein-density, single-source isolate option with added L-glutamine and L-arginine. At 93 kcal per 25g scoop vs Gold Standard’s 116 kcal per 31g scoop, Scitec WPI also provides a more calorie-efficient protein dose per serving.

Q5 — Which format should I choose — 700g or 1816g?

The formula and flavour are identical in both formats. The 700g format (28 servings) is ideal for first-time users, athletes who rotate between flavours or those who want to trial the product. The 1816g format (approximately 72 servings) is significantly more economical per serving and is the preferred choice for athletes who have established Scitec 100% Whey Isolate as their primary protein supplement. At one serving per day, the 1816g format provides approximately 2.5 months of supply.
