Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE Review – This is No Ordinary Cup of Joe

Perhaps it’s time you combine your pre-workout and protein in just one supplement.

Better yet, how about combining your coffee with protein?

Enter Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE.

We’re sure you’ve seen many similar products. However, this one seems to have a lot of promise. It could be the real deal.

This should be another exciting review, folks.

• Twenty-seven grams of quality whey protein concentrate per serving. Helps build lean muscle mass.

• Comes in three versions. Choose from Original Coffee Flavor with Sugar, Original Coffee Flavor No Sugar, and Original Coffee Flavor No Caffeine.

Meet the Cup of Joe That Packs A Wallop

We’re pretty sure a lot of fitness enthusiasts love coffee. Hey, who doesn’t?

Try combining coffee with protein powder, and you get one powerhouse product, folks.

Enter Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFEE.

Sure, we’ve seen several protein coffee products in supermarket shelves and online stores. However, there’s something about this particular supplement which tugs at us.

How about the 27 grams of protein per serving to start things off?

Wow.

That much protein represents an impressive 54 percent the daily value for this macronutrient. To put things in perspective, five percent or more of the daily value for any ingredient is already considered high.

Having said that, Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE is one cup of joe which packs a wallop.

Hey, even big-name protein supplements such as MET-Rx Natural Whey (23 grams of protein per scoop) and Whey Protein Punch (22 grams per scoop) lag behind Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE.

According to the manufacturer’s official website, PROTEIN COFFEE “provides an effective 27-g dose of whey protein with 100 mg of caffeine combining the two popular sports supplement ingredients.”

We’re guessing you won’t be needing your pre-workout supplements anymore when you take this product.

As a matter of fact, the manufacturer implicitly states consumers should take PROTEIN COFFEE “in the morning and before training.” Of course, try to steer clear of too much caffeine before hitting the sack.

It makes sense to us. First of all, you need a quick jolt to perk you up in the morning. Caffeine does that.

Next, taking a whey protein supplement upon waking up is an efficient way of breaking your eight-hour fast when you sleep at night.

When you do that, you feed your body with fast-absorbing protein. There’s nothing quite like filling up your system with muscle-building amino acids when the rooster crows, folks.

When you sip on your Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE, you’re perking yourself up and feeding your muscles at the same time. We like that.

Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE has whey protein concentrate (WPC), a form of whey which is 80 percent protein at the most.

WPC has several upsides: It is fast-absorbing, has a high amino acid count, good solubility and taste, and is cheaper than its whey protein isolate (WPI) counterpart.

Plus, WPC retains most of protein components beta-lactoglobulin and immunoglobulin, which help boost your immune system.

WPI has little to none of these, so you get an immune-boosting edge with the WPC in Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE aside from the high protein content and caffeine boost.

It’s also worth mentioning whey protein concentrate is cheaper than whey protein isolate because the latter undergoes further processing to remove the fat and carb contents.

Now coffee can make you STRONG.

Let’s check out the formula ingredients.

• Total fat, 3 g: Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE’s fat content is the utmost for consumers at five percent of the daily value. Anything more than that is excessive. The manufacturer included fat-reduced cocoa powder to keep the fat content within reasonable limits.
• Cholesterol, 65 mg: Admittedly, we were excited about Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE’s potential. Unfortunately, it’s not a perfect product. Sixty-five grams of cholesterol per serving may not seem much at first glance, but it is because it is 22 percent of the daily value for this ingredient. Maybe it would be a good idea to eat some oatmeal while you’re drinking this product to help keep cholesterol levels in check.
• Sodium, 360 mg: Another red flag. Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE’s sodium content is 15 percent of the daily value. Yes, you need sodium to prevent muscle cramping and boost recovery. However, manufacturers need to limit it to five percent of the daily value or less. It’s also unfortunate this product has no potassium, which helps regulate the amount of sodium. Get your potassium fix from a banana instead, folks.
• Total carbohydrate, 2 g: Two grams of carbs per serving is just about right for a whey protein concentrate product. In fact, we strongly believe you can achieve your lean-muscle building goals with Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE. No need to resort to a big-name whey protein isolate supplement if you love caffeine and protein. It’s worth noting the entire carb content of this product is from sugar, particularly sucralose or Splenda. This artificial sweetener has received plenty of scrutiny. In fact, a study conducted at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, NSW, Australia in July 2016 reveals Splenda may promote hyperactivity and insomnia.

Formula Analysis

If it’s caffeine and protein you want in a supplement, then Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE is more than up to the task.

It has an impressive 27 grams of whey protein concentrate per scoop (54 percent of the daily value).

That will help you pack on some serious muscle mass, folks.

In terms of caffeine content, Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE has 100 mg of caffeine per serving, per the manufacturer’s official website.

Is it too much?

It depends on how much you consume on a daily basis, folks.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) (via CoffeeAndHealth.org), adults should limit their caffeine consumption to 400 milligrams per day.

EFSA also advised consumers “that single doses of 100 mg of caffeine may increase sleep latency and reduce sleep duration in some adult individuals, particularly when consumed close to bedtime.” 

Bottom line: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and avoid taking the a few hours before sleeping. 

On the other hand, Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE is relatively low in fats (five percent of the daily value) and low in carbohydrates (one percent of the daily value).

The manufacturer did a good job in keeping these macros within reasonable limits. You can achieve your lean muscle-building goals with this product.

Aside from a hefty dose of protein and caffeine, Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE also provides you with heaps of calcium (17 percent of the daily value) and iron (a whopping 56 percent of the daily value). 

The extra calcium will help you build strong bones and teeth. It will also help maintain healthy blood pressure levels. You need to include low-fat dairy in your daily nutrition. Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE has that covered for you.

And get this: The product is also teeming with iron, folks. In fact, this protein supplement has the highest amount of iron we’ve ever come across. Wow.

What does iron do? It helps form hemoglobin (which transports oxygen throughout your body), assists in muscle contraction, and boosts brain health.

When you already have Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE, you can throw those iron supplements out the window.

As good as the benefits of this product are, it also has some serious shortcomings.

We already mentioned Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE is high in cholesterol and sodium. It also has Splenda, an artificial sweetener which has been under the radar for years. Check with your doctor first if these concern you.

Nonetheless, the manufacturer displays good transparency – all of the ingredients are accounted for. They’re also simple, which means there are little to no “dirty” ingredients and fillers.

There are also no proprietary blends, which is awesome.

Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE Benefits

Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE has the following benefits, per the manufacturer’s official website:

• Twenty-seven grams of whey protein concentrate per serving
• High-protein instant coffee
• One hundred milligrams of caffeine per serving

The manufacturer also says this product’s protein “contributes to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass and also to the maintenance of normal bones.”

We agree with the company’s claim. Who can argue with 27 grams of protein per serving for more muscle mass?

We also say the same thing for a product which has 17 percent the daily value for calcium for healthy bones.

Who Takes It?

Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE is intended for healthy individuals over the age of 18 who want to build lean muscle mass, boost recovery, and meet their daily protein requirements.

Any Side Effects?

Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE has no glaring side effects although the high cholesterol and sodium contents are worth noting. Ask for your doctor’s advice first if these concern you.

Individuals who are allergic to milk and soy ingredients should also steer clear of this product.

Finally, the manufacturer reminds consumers Scitec Nutrition PROTEIN COFFEE is not for individuals under the age of 18 and pregnant women:
