Mutant Whey – Review

O Mutant Whey As the name suggests, it is a whey protein supplement, which mixes several types of this protein in a (very) extensive formula.

Let's start by saying that it's a supplement that leaves a little to be desired, but if you want to know more, there's nothing like reading the full review.

Starting with the basics, this supplement is available in several national stores in three formats:

• 907g
• 2.27kg
• 4.54kg

In addition to the three different sizes, there are also three different flavors, which are:

• Strawberry cream
• Triple chocolate
• Vanilla ice cream

In the case of this review, the flavor chosen was vanilla ice cream, as there are slight changes between flavors, as is normal.

Ingredients

Now moving on to the list of ingredients, there must be few whey protein supplements on the market with so many ingredients in their formula!

Looking at the list of ingredients, it is difficult to decode this formula, but let's translate it in a simple way.

The main ingredients of this supplement, as you would expect, are protein sources, with concentrated whey being the form present in greatest abundance in this product, followed by isolated whey and finally hydrolyzed isolated whey.

Then we have what the brand calls a “Controlled Release Complex” which is nothing more than a mixture of carbohydrates such as oats, soy or modified starch and also an emulsifier and a stabilizer.

Yes, this supplement has ingredients such as oats and soy added, meaning it is not exclusively whey.

This product also includes several added amino acids such as Taurine, Threonine, Glycine, Glutamine and L-Leucine.

Finally, you have those ingredients that do not appear in the nutritional table, such as flavorings, sweeteners, etc.

Without looking at the nutritional table, with this list of ingredients it is to be expected that this product leaves a little to be desired, mainly due to the added carbohydrates.

Nutritional value

The nutritional value of this protein supplement is not impressive, quite the opposite, it is bad.

Each dose of Mutant Whey It provides 22g of protein, which is great, but each dose is made up of 36g of supplement, which is not so good and will make this whey run out quickly.

But what really matters are the values per 100g, and in addition to a very low protein content of 61%, this supplement is composed of 19.5% of carbohydrates and 9.7% of fats.

If you are into the subject, you know that these values are low, if you are not into the subject, here is a table with several whey protein supplements so you can see the differences in terms of protein content.

The difference between Mutant Whey and the others is quite significant, with the closest being Whey Professional by Scitec with a difference of 12.3%, and compared to Impact Whey or to Prozis Whey Concentrate, the difference is 21%!

In other words, this protein supplement is made up of only 61% of protein, which is VERY low, and 19.5% of carbohydrates, which is (very) bad.

Aminogram

This is the aminogram presented on the brand's official website, in relation to 2 scoops, that is, 72g.

As you might expect, with such a low protein content, the amino acid profile will be low as well.

A Mutant Whey conta com uma concentração de BCAA’s de apenas 13,5%.

This value is the second worst we have analyzed to date, only being “surpassed” by the famous Whey Prime from Prozis.

Fica aqui também uma base de comparação destes 13,5% de BCAA’s em relação a vários produtos da mesma categoria.

Once again, Mutant Whey falls WAY behind other supplements of the same kind, and it's clear that in terms of quality, Mutant Whey is not a good choice.

Price

The only thing that could still save this supplement a little would be the price, but…no.

Although prices vary from store to store, this is an approximate value of what you find online, and to get 100g of real protein with this product, you will pay a lot!

The cost per 100g of real protein with this supplement ranges from €3.16 in the 4.54kg version to €4.5 (!) in the smaller format.

The cost per serving varies between €0.69 and €1 per shake.

Once again, let’s put these values into perspective.

Mutant Whey, despite being the worst protein supplement on the list we used to compare, is the most expensive.

To get 100g of real protein with this product, you need 163g of supplement, and the cost of 163g of Mutant Whey is around €3.30 in the 2.27kg version.

Mutant Whey is not only more expensive than the well-known (and expensive) Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, as it is more expensive than whey isolate ISO:PRO 97 and practically the same price as ISOGREAT from Scitec Nutrition, this is also a whey isolate.

Of course, if you just look at the total cost, Mutant Whey appears to be cheaper, but if you look at the number of doses and the cost per 100g of protein…things change!

Conclusion

A Mutant Whey consegue combinar num só produto um teor proteico baixo, com uma percentagem de hidratos de carbono elevada, baixos níveis de BCAA’s e ainda um preço elevado.

The marketing of this brand is strong and tries to disguise the (many) weak points of this supplement under several supposed advanced complexes, when in fact it is nothing more than a supplement with only 61% of protein and a high 19.5% of carbohydrates.

Chega a ser tão fraco que mesmo com a adição de Leucina a sua percentagem de BCAA’s é de apenas 13,5%.

It's hard to imagine a situation where this supplement would be a good buy, since it doesn't stand out in terms of quality or price, and there are plenty of superior alternatives in every way.
