Analysis of Win Nutrition's Hi-Protein supplement

Hi-Protein Standard is an extremely cheap protein supplement that combines several sources of protein, therefore it is not an exclusively Whey protein supplement.

The brand makes several highlights of this supplement, but the main one is undoubtedly its price.

We have already analyzed several supplements here that, even with a low price, maintained high quality. In the case of Hi-Protein, the story is a little different.

This product has undergone several changes over time, and the version we are going to analyze here is the most recent, the Improved Flavor, which makes some changes compared to the previous formula.

Read the analysis below to find out more.

Ingredients

What we find at Hi-Protein is above all protein sources, fortunately, and the traditional flavorings, thickeners and so on.

But what sources of protein are these?

There are actually five types of protein, the two main ones used are not the best.

One of the changes in this new formula was the replacement of the main protein, which stopped being isolated soy protein and became wheat protein as the number one source.

Wheat protein is a low-quality vegetable protein, which for people sensitive to gluten automatically makes this supplement a product to avoid.

In the case of isolated soy protein, it is superior to wheat protein, but the quality is also not the best, especially when compared to Whey protein.

After these two proteins, we have Whey Protein Concentrate, which is of good quality, followed by concentrated milk protein.

Concentrated milk protein consists of a mixture of Casein and Whey, in a proportion of approximately 80:20. It is a good source of protein.

At the end of the formula, there is egg protein, which despite being of good quality, is the one with the lowest presence in Win Nutrition's Hi-Protein.

In terms of ingredients, this supplement is weak.

Nutritional value

The nutritional values of this supplement are as follows.

	25g	%
Proteins	19.25g	77%
Carbohydrates	3.25g	13%
Fats	1.6g	6.4%

 

Once again, this formula compared to the previous one also worsened in its nutritional value.

Now each shake has 19.25g of protein, compared to 20g in the previous Hi-Protein, and 77% of protein content compared to 80% in the old version.

The difference is much more significant when it comes to carbohydrates and fats.

In carbohydrates, the value went from 6.8% to 13%, a high value for a protein, and in the case of fats, the increase was from 4% to 6.4%.

The protein content is not bad, but the carbohydrate and fat values could be lower.

Unfortunately the aminogram for this new formula is not available, so we will include the old aminogram here to understand the impact of protein sources on the amino acid composition.

Aminogram

Note. The values shown are for every 100g of protein and not powder, that is, these values are the equivalent of 125g of supplement.

Once again, This is the aminogram from the previous version, but taking into account the list of ingredients, and the nutritional value, it is likely that this new formula will be similar, and most likely even inferior, due to the lower protein content, and the use of wheat protein as the main source.

Below we leave our evaluation of the aminogram of the old version.

?An extremely cheap supplement with good nutritional value, that is what Hi-Protein appears to be, but this is where its ?flaws? really lie.

When using soy protein, and especially wheat protein, the aminogram is disappointing.

Why?

The amount of essential amino acids is low, and to have a comparison, the percentage of essential amino acids in Real Whey is 37%, while Hi-Protein is 24,56%.

Both proteins have a protein content of 80%, but the distribution of amino acids is very different.

As for the percentage of BCAAs, it is only 12.8%, basically the same value as Whey Prime, one of the worst supplements we've ever reviewed.

The protein is here, it's just not the best.?

Price

The price used in this table is that charged by the Prozis store.

	907g	2,268g
Doses	36	90
Cost per dose	0.41?	0.30?
Cost 100g/Protein	2.14?	1.55?
Total cost	14.99?	26.99?

 

This is where this supplement really shines, at a low price.

In the 2,268g format, each shake with 19.25g of protein costs 0.30? and each 100g of pure protein has a value of 1.55?.

Win Nutrition's Hi-Protein has a price identical to that of Impact Whey from Myprotein, and from Real Whey from Prozis Sport, which are two supplements that stand out in price.

Unfortunately, despite accompanying these two good products in price, the same does not apply to quality.

Verdict

Win Nutrition with its Hi-Protein presents here a protein supplement with a good protein content and fat levels within normal parameters. Furthermore, it has a very good price.

Unfortunately the ingredients are not the best, and therefore, although the protein content is good, the quality of that protein leaves (a lot) to be desired, and the carbohydrate levels should also be lower.

It is a cheap supplement that significantly sacrifices quality to stand out in price.
