Reflex Instant Whey

Now first of all I am going to take a moment to say a little bit about me, it's my review so why shouldn't I? The first thing you should know dear reader is that I am not a bodybuilder or even that interested in putting on lots of muscle, though it is a nice side benefit to my training. I run, cycle, swim and do MMA plus some weight training that is appropriate to those sports. Therefore the following review will not be a rundown of how much my biceps have expanded, or indeed any part of my anatomy. The second thing you should know is my stance on supplements in general. I have been training for many years now in various sports but only in the last couple of years ...  Read the complete review

Reflex, one of the biggest names in body-building supplements brings us Instant Whey. If your unfamiliar with Whey its basically a form of protein, these awfully nice supplements company break it down into a power to be drunk before and after workouts, filled with extra amino acids and other goodies these protein "shakes" have become very popular in recent years, recognised as a quick and easy way to get a large amount of good quality protein down the hatch. Does Reflex deserve the title The King of Whey? In my honest opinion, they do. In terms of taste, its certainly one of the nicest shakes I've tasted. I bought the Chocolate. When mixed with water ...  Read the complete review

Reflex is one of the best known supplement manufacturers in the UK and for a very good reason. Firstly being the quality of their whey protein is superb, i believe it is 80% protein of a dry basis of 100grams. So whilst it is a supplement it is also a food source at the same time, so great not only for athletes but for individuals who struggle to meet their GDA of protein, such as vegetarians or people with a diet low in meat produce. Anyway, around to the review itself. Reflex instant whey comes in an array of flavours, I have tried banana before so shall comment on this. In my experience Banana is often the flavour that most manufacturers just can't get ...  Read the complete review

A really nice tasting whey protein product. It is an 80% protein which basically means that for every 100grams, around 80grams is protein. It contains Digezyme enzymes and Lactospore pro-biotics which help with digestion. this is something that you don't find all the time in these products and a worthwhile addition. I have used this product a couple of times in the past and really enjoyed it each time. The packaging really stands out with its black tub and its shiny reflective label. The tub lid just unsrews off and is very easy to open. There is a good variety of flavours to choose from in this range. Banana, chocolate, choc mint, choc orange, ...  Read the complete review

Well I must admit I bought this protein purely based on the shiny tub. It was the first protein powder I ever purchased and it seemed a fairly good choice. The powder mixes really reall and gives about 20g of protein per serving. A 5lb tub will give you 90 servings. For some reason the scoop it comes with is tiny and only scoops out a half serving. But I'm not going to rate this protein on the scoop it comes with. The taste is acceptable (I had chocolate mint) and the texture is pretty good when used in a shaker. The product says it mixes easily with a spoon, but don't be fooled. Trying this results in a pretty horrible gloopy mess and a spoon ...  Read the complete review
