Sci-MX Total Protein is a food supplement in powder form that combines two protein sources: whey protein concentrate and soy protein isolate. The manufacturer calls it a dual protein matrix. One 30 g serving, or one level scoop, provides 22 g of protein and 119 kcal. A serving contains 2.5 g of fat, of which 1.4 g saturates, and 2.4 g of carbohydrate, of which 1.7 g sugars. The 900 g pouch makes 30 servings. The front of the pack states that no sugar has been added – the sweet taste comes from sweeteners. Sportlab offers Total Protein in chocolate and strawberry flavours.

Protein

Protein is one of the three macronutrients the body needs every day. 100 g of Total Protein powder contains 72 g of protein, so protein provides about three quarters of the energy content of the product. According to the manufacturer, the protein complex makes up 93% of the powder. As part of the protein, a 30 g serving contains 4.2 g of branched-chain amino acids (L-leucine 2.0 g, L-isoleucine 1.1 g and L-valine 1.1 g) and 4.3 g of glutamine.

How to use?

Mix one level scoop (30 g) with 150–200 ml of cold water. Shake in a shaker for about 10 seconds, let it settle for 30 seconds and drink. Prepare the shake just before drinking it. For a thicker shake, use an amount of liquid closer to the lower end of the range. The manufacturer recommends no more than three servings per day, and the recommended amount should not be exceeded. Take the protein and energy content of the servings into account when planning your daily diet. Food supplements should not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
