Scitec 100% Whey Protein Professional (500gr)

⭐ 4.8/5 from 2653 reviews — the most trusted whey in Europe

With 2653 verified customer reviews at 4.8 out of 5 — and 85.1% of reviewers awarding 5 stars — Scitec 100% Whey Protein Professional is one of the most reviewed and highest-rated protein powders on the European market. This is not a small-sample rating: 2653 independent reviewers have consistently awarded near-maximum scores, validating the formula’s flavour quality, mixability, digestive tolerance and performance across one of the largest and most diverse customer bases in the protein powder category.

💪 22g of protein per 30g serving — WPC + WPI dual blend

The dual whey protein matrix — WPC as the dominant source for the full natural whey peptide spectrum, WPI as the purifying complement for higher protein density — produces 73g of protein per 100g of powder and 22g per 30g serving. The blend leverages the best of both whey forms: WPC’s naturally occurring growth factors, immunoglobulins and lactoferrin provide a broader bioactive profile than WPI alone, while the WPI fraction elevates protein density and reduces residual fat and lactose below WPC-only levels.

🔬 Taurine 990mg — the highest-dose taurine addition in the standard whey category

At 990mg of added taurine per 30g serving — nearly 1g per scoop — Scitec 100% Whey Protein Professional provides a substantially higher taurine dose than any comparable whey protein powder on the market. Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in skeletal and cardiac muscle, where it regulates osmotic cell balance, modulates calcium-dependent muscle contraction and provides antioxidant protection against exercise-induced oxidative stress. At the 990mg per serving dose, the taurine contribution is meaningful rather than nominal.

⚡ L-Glutamine 500mg + L-Arginine 414mg + L-Leucine 100mg

The active amino acid matrix adds three strategically selected free amino acids beyond the protein matrix. L-glutamine at 500mg supports immune function and muscle nitrogen balance during high training volumes — complementing the naturally occurring glutamine in the whey protein (total glutamine and glutamic acid = 13.7g per 100g). L-arginine at 414mg supports nitric oxide production for post-workout vasodilation and blood flow. L-leucine at 100mg directly activates the mTOR signalling pathway that triggers muscle protein synthesis — providing a leucine “spike” beyond the naturally high leucine content of whey protein (7.7g/100g).

🌿 Bromelain and papain — digestive enzyme support

Each serving provides 13mg each of bromelain (from pineapple, 1200 GDU/g) and papain (from papaya, 1.5 FIP U/mg) — the same plant-derived proteolytic enzymes used in the 100% Casein Complex and 100% Whey Isolate. These enzymes assist protein digestion, reducing the gastrointestinal discomfort that some individuals experience with high-dose whey protein supplementation and improving overall protein absorption efficiency.

☕ Iced Coffee — the protein shake with 80mg of real caffeine

The Iced Coffee variant is genuinely distinctive: it contains 2% real instant coffee alongside 0.17% added caffeine, providing 80mg of caffeine per 30g serving — equivalent to a standard espresso shot. This makes the Iced Coffee flavour a legitimate pre-workout or morning protein supplement that provides both the protein dose and the caffeine stimulus in a single shake, without requiring a separate pre-workout or coffee. EU mandatory declaration: high caffeine content — 32mg per 100ml ready-to-drink. Not recommended for children, pregnant or breastfeeding women.

🎯 Goal guide

🏋️ Mass gain: 1 to 2 scoops/day post-workout and between meals. 22g per 30g serving — flexible dosing for any protein target.

🔥 Weight loss / cutting: 1 scoop/day post-workout. 114 kcal, 22g protein — an excellent protein-to-calorie ratio for a WPC/WPI blend.

⚖️ Body recomposition: 1 to 2 scoops/day. Dual whey blend with active amino acid matrix for maximum post-workout support.

Serving suggestion

Mix ¾ scoop (30g) in 250ml of cold water. Shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until fully dissolved. Consume after training on training days, or at any time of day on rest days. Scitec also recommends consuming first thing in the morning and before sleep as additional timing options.

Best times to enjoy it

🏋️ Post-workout (primary recommendation)

22g of fast-absorbing whey protein within 30 to 45 minutes of training — the WPI fraction provides the fastest plasma amino acid rise while the WPC fraction sustains it. The taurine, L-arginine and L-leucine additions make this particularly well-timed for the post-workout anabolic and recovery environment.

🌅 Morning — overnight catabolism reversal

After 7 to 9 hours of fasting, a morning whey shake at breakfast restores plasma amino acid levels and reverses the overnight catabolic state. The Iced Coffee variant is particularly effective at breakfast — providing 22g of protein and 80mg of caffeine (equivalent to one espresso) in a single shake.

☀️ Between meals

At 114 kcal and 22g of protein, a 30g scoop between meals provides a meaningful protein contribution and sustained satiety at minimal caloric cost. The wide range of stocked flavours makes daily consumption enjoyable without flavour fatigue.

Q1 — How does 100% Whey Protein Professional compare to Scitec 100% Whey Isolate?

The two products target different needs in the whey protein spectrum. 100% Whey Isolate uses 100% WPI — no WPC — producing 83g of protein per 100g at 93 kcal per 25g serving, with near-zero fat and lactose. 100% Whey Protein Professional uses a WPC + WPI blend producing 73g of protein per 100g at 114 kcal per 30g serving, with slightly more fat and carbohydrates — and a significantly richer active ingredient matrix (990mg taurine vs none in WPI, 500mg glutamine vs 1320mg in WPI, 100mg added leucine, bromelain, papain). WPI is the choice for maximum protein density, lowest calorie cost and lowest lactose. Whey Protein Professional is the choice for a richer functional formula with the broadest flavour range, a higher taurine dose, added leucine and digestive enzyme support — at a more accessible price point.

Q2 — Why does the Iced Coffee flavour contain 80mg of caffeine and how does this compare to a coffee?

The Iced Coffee flavour contains both 2% real instant coffee and 0.17% added caffeine — combining a natural coffee flavour source with a precise caffeine contribution. The total 80mg of caffeine per 30g serving is equivalent to one standard espresso shot (approximately 80mg) or two standard filter coffee cups (approximately 90mg each when diluted to 250ml). At 32mg of caffeine per 100ml of prepared shake, the EU mandatory “high caffeine content” declaration applies, along with the recommendation against consumption by children, pregnant women and breastfeeding women. For adults without caffeine sensitivity, 80mg is a very manageable, moderate stimulant dose that provides a genuine pre-workout or morning energy boost alongside the 22g of protein.

Q3 — What is the role of taurine at 990mg per serving — is this a meaningful dose?

Yes — 990mg of taurine per serving is a genuinely meaningful addition, not a nominal trace amount. Research on taurine supplementation typically uses doses of 500mg to 3g per day. The 990mg per 30g serving provides nearly 1g of taurine per shake — directly within the dose range studied for muscle performance, antioxidant protection and cardiovascular support. For athletes consuming 1 to 2 servings per day, this represents 1000 to 2000mg of supplemental taurine daily in addition to dietary taurine from meat and fish.

Q4 — Is 100% Whey Protein Professional suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals?

The formula contains whey protein concentrate as its primary protein source — WPC retains more residual lactose than WPI, typically 3 to 6g per 100g. For mildly lactose-sensitive individuals, the WPI fraction (present alongside WPC) partially reduces the total lactose load below a WPC-only product. For individuals with significant lactose intolerance, Scitec 100% Whey Isolate (100% WPI) would be the more appropriate product.

Q5 — With 16 servings per 500g, how long does a bag last?

At one 30g serving per day, the 500g format provides 16 days of supply — approximately 2.5 weeks. For athletes using two servings per day (for example post-workout and morning), 8 days of supply. The 500g format is well-suited to athletes who rotate between flavours regularly, want to trial a new flavour, or purchase multiple bags of different flavours simultaneously.
