Scitec Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Professional 1.8kg

Scitec 100% Whey Protein Professional in the 1.8kg tub — roughly 60 servings. It is the middle size in the range, and for most people it is the one that makes sense.

780g or 1.8kg — which should you buy?

This is the question we get asked more than any other, so here is the honest answer.

The 780g tub gives you about 26 servings. The 1.8kg gives you about 60, and the cost per shake drops noticeably. If you train three or four times a week and take one shake a day, the big tub is roughly two months of protein.

The catch is flavour fatigue. Two months is a long time to drink the same thing, and the commonest mistake we see is someone buying the biggest tub of a flavour they have never tried and getting bored of it by week three. If Whey Protein Professional is new to you, buy the 780g first. If you already know you like it, the 1.8kg is the better buy and there is no reason to keep paying the smaller-tub price.

Concentrate, not isolate

Scitec make both, and they are different products for different people. 100% Whey Protein Professional is a whey concentrate with added amino acids and a digestive enzyme complex. It mixes thicker, sits more filling, and costs less per gram of protein than an isolate.

The trade-off is that a concentrate keeps more of the naturally occurring lactose and fat. If ordinary whey leaves you bloated, the Scitec 100% Whey Isolate is the one to look at instead — we stock that in 700g and 1800g.

Common questions

How many servings in the 1.8kg tub?
Around 60.

Is it suitable if I am lactose intolerant?
Probably not. This is a whey concentrate, so it retains more lactose than an isolate. Look at the Scitec Whey Isolate instead.

Is it gluten free?
Yes — Scitec produce it to EU gluten-free standards. It does contain milk.
