Xcore Nutrition Xtreme Whey Protein Supplement Review

Xtreme Whey Protein is one of several protein supplements from the Xcore Nutrition brand, being a formula that mixes concentrated whey protein with whey isolate.

This product is available in two sizes, the small 907g and the larger 2000g.

There are different flavors such as chocolate, strawberry or even orange.

We will use the nutritional values of the chocolate flavor for the review of this supplement, as the values may vary slightly between the different flavors.

The two main ingredients in this supplement are whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate, and then we have cocoa, flavorings, sweeteners and soy lecithin as an emulsifier.

Finally, we also have the addition of a digestive enzyme, lactase, which helps in the process of digesting lactose.

Therefore, we have a supplement that includes only whey protein concentrate and isolate as a protein source, without unnecessary additions and even lactase to help digest this protein, very good.

Nutritional value

These are the nutritional values of Xtreme Whey Protein in chocolate flavor.

Each dose of this supplement provides 31g of protein, however, it uses higher doses than most whey protein supplements, which at first glance may mislead the most distracted.

The best way to evaluate the values of a protein supplement is through its values per 100 grams of product, and in this case, we have a protein content of 77.50%.

Is 77.50% a good protein value for a whey protein concentrate/isolate supplement?

Yes, without a doubt.

As for carbohydrate and fat levels, they are ok.

Aminogram

Por cada cada dose a Xtreme Whey Protein da Xcore Nutrition têm 6,6g de BCAA’s, o que é claramente muito positivo, mas é importante não esquecer, cada dose deste suplemento refere-se a 40g de produto, um pouco acima daquilo que encontramos na maior parte dos suplementos de whey.

Agora, por cada 100g deste suplemento, a sua dose de BCAA’s é de 16,58%, ou seja, 16,58g de BCAA’s por 100 gramas de pó.

É 16,58% um bom valor de BCAA’s para um suplemento de whey?

Actually, although it's not bad, we expected better.

Let's put it next to the supplement Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, since the prices of both are similar.

Como podemos ver pela tabela, a Xtreme Whey Protein da Xcore Nutrition é inferior tanto no teor proteíco como na quantidade de BCAA’s.

Prices

As we have already mentioned, Xcore uses a reference dose for this supplement of 40 grams, which is above average for whey supplements and, although it offers a higher dose of protein per shake, the number of doses and price per dose suffers significantly from this.

Xtreme Whey used according to the brand's references is a very expensive supplement, costing up to €1.36 per shake in the case of the 907 gram version!

If we reduce the dose to 30g per shake, we have 23.25g of protein and a cost of €0.82 per dose in the case of the 2000g bucket, which is still quite expensive, more expensive even than the famous Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard!

In short, this is basically the most expensive whey supplement we have reviewed so far!

Conclusion

Xcore Nutrition's Xtreme Whey Protein is a supplement with a good protein content, which uses only concentrated and isolated whey as protein sources, without the use of the increasingly common unnecessary “extras”, which is positive.

Contêm um teor de BCAA’s de 16,58%, o que não é nada de especial, principalmente quando temos em conta o seu preço EXTREMAMENTE elevado.

Although it is a reasonable whey supplement in terms of quality, when we consider the price, it is difficult to justify the purchase of this product.
