O Mutant Whey as the name implies, it is a whey protein supplement, which mixes several types of this protein in a (very) extensive formula.
We start by saying that it is a supplement that leaves a little to be desired, but if you want to know more, there is 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, they 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
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 sources of protein, in which concentrated whey is the form most abundantly present 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 oat, soy or modified starch and also an emulsifier and a stabilizer.
Yes, this supplement has ingredients such as oats and soy added, that is, 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 on the nutritional table, such as flavorings, sweeteners, etc.
Without looking at the nutritional table, with this list of ingredients it is already expected that this product leaves a little to be desired, mainly due to the added carbohydrates.
Nutritional value
| 36g | 100g | |
| Proteins | 22g | 61g |
| Carbohydrates | 7g | 19.5g |
| Fats | 3.5g | 9.7g |
The nutritional value of this protein supplement is not impressive, on the contrary, it is bad.
Each dose of Mutant Whey provides 22g of protein, which is great, but each serving consists of 36g of supplement, which is no longer so good and will make this whey end quickly.
But what really matters are the values per 100g, and added 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 in the subject you know that these values are weak, if you are not in the subject here is a table with several supplements of whey protein to be able to see the differences in level of protein content.
| Mutant Whey | ON Gold Standard | Impact Whey | Scitec Professional | Prozis Whey Concentrate | GN Total Whey | |
| Protein / % | 61.00% | 81.63% | 82,00% | 73.3% | 82,00% | 76.92% |
The difference between Mutant Whey and the rest is quite significant, the closest being Scitec Whey Professional with a difference of 12.3%, and compared to Impact Whey Or the Prozis Whey Concentrate, the difference is 21%!
In other words, this protein supplement consists 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 official website of the brand, in relation to 2 scoops, that is, 72g.
As expected, with such a low protein content, the amino acid profile will also be low.
| Mutant Whey | |
| BCAA?s/dose | 4.86g |
| BCAA?s/% | 13,50% |
Mutant Whey has a concentration of BCAA's of only 13.5%.
This value is the second worst that we have analyzed until today, being only ?surpassed? by the famous Whey Prime from Prozis.
Here is also a basis for comparing these 13.5% of BCAA's in relation to several products in the same category.
| Mutant Whey | ON Gold Standard | Impact Whey | Scitec Professional | Prozis Whey Concentrate | GN Total Whey | |
| BCAA?s/% | 13,50% | 18,70% | 18,77% | 16,03% | 18,77% | 17,70% |
Once again, Mutant Whey is MUCH behind in relation to several supplements of the same kind, and it has already been noticed that in terms of quality, Mutant Whey is not a good choice.
Price
| 907g | 2.27kg | 4.54kg | |
| Doses | 25 | 63 | 126 |
| Cost Per Serving | 1.00? | 0.73 ? | 0.69 ? |
| Cost per 100g protein | 4.50 ? | 3.30 ? | 3.16 ? |
| Total cost | 25.00? | 46.00? | 88.00? |
The only thing that could save this supplement a little bit would be the price, but?
Although prices always 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 dearly!
The cost per 100g of real protein with this supplement ranges from 3.16? in the 4.54kg version up to 4.5? (!) in the smallest format.
The cost per dose varies between 0.69? up to 1? per shake.
Once again, let's put these values in perspective.
| Mutant Whey 2.27kg | ON Gold Standard 2,2kg | Impact Whey 2.5kg | Scitec Professional 2.3kg | Prozis Whey Concentrate 2kg | GN Total Whey 2kg | |
| Cost per 100g protein | 3.30 ? | 3.12 ? | 1.50 ? | 3.07 ? | 1.88 ? | 3.25 ? |
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) Gold Standard by Optimum Nutrition, as it is more expensive than isolated whey ISO: PRO 97 and practically the same price as ISOGREAT from Scitec Nutrition, this is also an isolated whey.
Of course, if you just look at the total cost, Mutant Whey appears to be cheaper, but if you look at the number of servings and the cost per 100g of protein? things change!

Conclusion
THE Mutant Whey manages to combine in a single product a low protein content, with a high percentage of carbohydrates, low levels of BCAA?s and a high price.
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 the end it is only a supplement with only 61% of protein and a high 19.5% of carbohydrates.
It is so weak that even with the addition of Leucine its percentage of BCAA's is only 13.5%.
It is difficult to imagine a situation in which this supplement is a good buy, since it does not stand out in quality nor does it stand out in price, and there are a lot of superior alternatives in every way.
Meetings here all the analyzes already done so far and here our list of the best whey protein supplements.
