Myprotein Impact Whey Protein 2.5Kg (Chocolate Smooth)
ABOUT
MyProtein is a UK based supplement brand. It’s been in the market
since year 2004 and considered one of the top brands in the fitness industry.
MyProtein has a wide range of products in supplements and clothing. Today we
will be reviewing MyProtein’s Impact Whey (concentrate).
What is Impact Whey?
Impact Whey is MyProtein whey product which helps in recovery and
building muscles. And where does this come from? The same cows that produce
your milk and cheese – simply filtered, evaporated and spray-dried to produce
all-natural nutritionals.
It also provides you with all the essential amino acids, including
BCAAs providing the building blocks for new protein – before, during, and after
workouts – as well as Glutamine.
With just 1.9g of fat and 1g of carbs, Impact Whey Protein is the
perfect way to support all your
training goals. And it comes in a range of indulgent, mouthwatering
flavors, too!
What should is use this product for?
This product is good is for any gym goer having either muscle building
or fat loss goals. MyProtein Impact whey will assist you in both conditions.
How Good is Its Quality?
As per My Protein’s website it contains 21g of pure protein, 4.5g
of BCAAs, 3.9g of Glutamine, 1g Carbs and 1.9g of Fat per serving (25g). Which
sums up its purity to be around 84% and is pretty impressive when compared to
price. I purchased a 5.5 Lbs. packet for
Rs. 5500 but at present its around Rs. 4700 (check price on Amazon).
Please note that when we say one serving/scoop it means one heap scoop. This
quality not so high as compared to Whey
Isolate which is very high quality of protein but still very good to pack on
some lean muscle if included with good diet.
Is it really that pure?
Sometimes many supplement brands print wrong information on their
nutrition label to make their product look more impressive. To cross check this
we need to get them laboratory tested and verify the label contents. Which is
not an affordable task. Laboratory Testing of supplements costs thousands of
bucks and isn’t so affordable. So what will we do? Thankfully there is third
party lab which does test all major supplement brands and list their rating and
information on their site. This third party lab is Labdoor.com.
What is Labdoor?
Labdoor is an independent company that tests supplements. They
find out whether products have what they claim and if they have any harmful
ingredients or contaminants. Then, they grade and rank those products, write
reports, and publish that information for free, so consumers can confidently
buy the best supplements for their health.
MyProtein Impact Whey has a score of 83.6 out of 100 and holds 8th
place in its ranking and 3rd place in value ranking.
So let’s compare MyProtein’s claim to Labdoor.

Personal experience.
I have used MyProtein Impact Whey twice. Once unflavored and once
Choco Latte flavor. Unflavored whey was
pretty head shaking when consumed with water (at least to me). With milk shake ,it
tasted great. While Choco Latte is good with both water and milk. There are
many other flavor options but mostly out of stock.
Results?
I took only one scoop post workout and kept my diet on point and results
were really visible. Product is very good and effective if you are focusing on your
diet. Without a good balanced diet, no matter how good the product is, you are
not going to see any results. Best part is that at present there is no duplicacy of this product in India. You can check Paradise Nutrition's seal on MyProtein's each product. Paradise Nutrition is the only importer on MyProtein in India and others sellers further sale after buying from them. Below is my back’s before and after comparison
you can clearly see the improvement.
If you’re looking for really good product to be added to your
supplement stack. It really should be there. You can buy from Amazon at link given below.
