Post Workout Powders

[banner]

Immediately following a workout, increasing your protein intake to help your muscles recover and repair is essential.

One of the most effective ways to do this is with a post-workout powder. High in the best quality protein and fortified with additional nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins and minerals, SCI-MX whey protein powder can easily be integrated into your post-workout routine. We have carefully designed our products to include high levels of protein to deliver a powerful punch of nutrition when your aching muscles need it the most.

How do post-workout powders work?

A post-workout powder provides nutrients and compounds that help you consolidate your workout into great results, repair damage, and jump-start your energy levels.

Whey powder can be mixed into water or fresh juice to create post-workout shakes that are best consumed around 30 minutes following your exercise. Different powders contain varying levels of protein, while some contain additional nutritional benefits. Others have been especially created for those on a diet or for individuals with dietary restrictions or preferences, so you should therefore choose the best protein supplement powder that ties to your personal training goals and physical requirements.

What is the best protein powder to consume after a workout?

At SCI-MX, we offer a wide range of high quality, post-workout powders that deliver the support you need.

If you’re serious about building and maintaining muscle, our ULTRA WHEY powder is the best protein supplement to consume after a workout. A useful pre and post-workout powder, this is a multi-functioning mix that provides full body support.

If you’re looking for a powder with wide ranging recovery benefits, then look no further than our OMNI MX ALL IN ONE LEAN blend.

BCAA Powders

[banner]

Some of the most essential and fundamentally important amino acids for strength training, the benefits of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) are increasingly being recognised by the scientific and sports nutrition communities.

BCAAs are comprised of three essential amino acids - leucine, isoleucine, and valine. As these are essential amino acids, they are typically found within dietary sources, but often athletes, bodybuilders and other fitness enthusiasts will want to supplement their intake. At SCI-MX, we have developed a range of BCAA fortified powders to help you do exactly that. Any individual passionate about fitness and bettering his or her physical performance when training can benefit from BCAA powders.

What are the benefits of BCAAs?

BCAAs can help the body experience less fatigue during training, something that has made it a popular choice among athletes who want to have punishing or extreme training regimes.

The amino acid tryptophan has been shown to lead to the development of the neurotransmitter serotonin. At times when the body has high levels of serotonin - such as during exercise - the body can experience fatigue. This means you feel tired, and don’t necessary reach optimum performance when it comes to training. By limiting the amount of tryptophan that reaches the brain, you can reduce serotonin levels and enjoy more energy, which is where BCAA supplements can help.

There are a number of other benefits to BCAA consumption as well - they can boost your immune system, support your anabolic drive, and increase rates of recovery and muscle growth. Whether you want to bulk up your muscle mass, reduce levels of body fat or increase your endurance to conquer a new physical challenge, fortifying your nutrition plan with additional BCAAs can help you achieve your goals.

Get BCAAs your way

With our range of fortified powders, you can enhance your favourite drink, shake or smoothie with BCAAs simply by adding a few scoops of your chosen product.

You can enhance a pre- or post-workout beverage by adding your powder of choice into the mix to easily restore depleted and tired muscles, helping your body heal effectively Products like our 100% PURE GLUTAMINE prove to be an essential powder for anyone serious about upping their BCAA intake. L-glutamine, the most abundant amino acid when it comes to protein synthesis and tissue repair, is a key amino acid found in this product. An ideal product to support serious training, the powder can be taken either immediately before or after working out, or with breakfast or dinner. Also popular selection is the BCAA INTRA HARDCORE™ powder mix, an intra-workout amino acid beverage designed aid fast muscle recovery and promote muscle growth. Loaded with 25g of amino acids, this product has a high concentration of BCAAs to give any athlete that added push.

Whey Protein

Whey Protein

Whey Protein is easily digested and absorbed by your body, so boost your performance and recovery with our range of specially formulated whey protein powders.

Whey protein is often described as the ‘fast’ protein because it is absorbed, digested and metabolised in less time than protein from whole food and supplemental sources such as soy isolate, micellar casein and egg albumin.

This is why whey protein shakes and bars are so popular before and after training; they support rapid intra-muscular amino acid absorption, nourishing worked muscles to kick-start protein synthesis, recovery and growth.

Significant research has shown the benefits of consuming whey shakes and bars before and after training, to support the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. In addition to getting protein to muscles rapidly, whey also give weight trainers an excellent source of amino acids – including naturally high levels of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) and glutamine.

Because intense training burns these key amino acids, whey's a great supplement to effectively replenish muscles with the nutrients needed for maximum training results. Biologically active microfractions such as alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase are also present, which contribute to muscle growth.

SCI-MX® whey protein is produced with the purest isolates, hydrolysates and concentrates which deliver the perfect balance of amino acids and protein microfractions. By only using premium whey our formulas are highly bioavailable – offering excellent support for post-training muscle repair. They're also easy to digest, meaning they can be consumed even if you suffer from common gastro intestinal problems. The naturally inherent qualities of whey protein have made it an essential part of the nutrition plan of serious gym users and athletes.

Muscle protein

When it comes to building muscle, you need to integrate as much quality whey protein as possible into your diet.

Protein comes in many different formats from several different sources, but whey protein has time and again been scientifically shown to have the most impact on building new muscle. The body’s ability to rapidly absorb this type of protein leads to it being an essential part of an optimum nutrition plan, and at SCI-MX, we have a number of pure whey protein powder products available to suit your lifestyle.

Build muscle with whey protein powder

Whey protein is a milk protein as opposed to being plant based, and is high in Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). It also contains high levels of small proteins known as peptides, which increase blood flow to the body’s muscles – ideal for achieving extra milestones during a workout.

Whey protein powder can be ingested into the body at a rapid rate, meaning crucial amino acids reach your bloodstream much sooner. This then absorbs into muscle tissue, where protein synthesis then takes place. Blood flow is also stimulated at this point, which can enhance the intake of oxygen and glucose. Quality whey protein is naturally high in L-leucine, a powerful BCAA that is essential to protein synthesis. Products like our WHEY ISOLATE powder are perfect for body builders and athletes looking to build muscle, as it contains high levels of this BCAA along with added creatine and peptide bonded glutamine. Our ULTRA WHEY™ PROTEIN drink mix is particularly ideal for those looking to develop muscle, as it’s rapid action formula has been scientifically developed to grown and maintain mass.

To ensure all of our products meet optimum nutrition standards, we only use the finest quality cold filtered whey, carefully processed to prevent any damage to the natural structure of the protein. This means you can be sure you’re receiving the best quality nutrition to support muscle growth, repair and development with every serving, helping you to keep your focus square on your workout.

Protein Powders

Protein Powders

When it comes to muscle growth and maintenance, it's vital to provide your body with a rich source of protein post-workout. Our whey or plant-based protein powders are a great choice to support your goals.

Why should you use Protein Powders?

You’ve heard it said that you can’t out-train a bad diet, and so making sure your nutrition supports your exercise efforts is key to success.

If you are just starting a new exercise regime, your muscles will be in need of more protein than before, and so it is a good idea to support any new workout plan with some Whey Protein Powder. Similarly, if you are exercising at a higher rate (perhaps you are attempting your first marathon or cross-training event), you will need to up your protein intake accordingly to support sufficient muscle repair. As protein is crucial to muscle regeneration, athletes struggling with injury often increase their protein to pursue a quick recovery. How often you consumer protein powder will depend on your training needs and personal goals. If you wish to lose weight, consuming high levels of protein at breakfast can make you feel fuller for longer, which in turn lowers your caloric intake throughout the day and helps with fat loss. If you are training for an athletic event or a bulking up, you will need to repair your muscles after each workout session, so it is vital to have a shake or drink with protein powder straight after exercising.

Shop our selection of Whey Protein Powder

At SCI-MX, we have carefully created our protein powders in a range of flavours that can deliver high levels of protein with just a few scoops. Add it to your favourite cereal or drink, and use before and after training and throughout the day as part of your overall nutrition plan.

Creatine Powders

[banner]

While creatine is naturally occurring in the body, trying to obtain the high levels required so that you could experience a difference in your training and exercise efforts would be difficult through diet alone.

If you are trying to improve your athletic performance and see increased rates of energy when working out, creatine powders are an essential part of your diet. These powder supplements can increase the amount of creatine in your system to supply more energy to your muscles during bouts of high intensity activity, so whether you are sprinting, weight lifting, cross training or doing any other type of exercise that requires intensified energy levels, creatine powders are a safe and scientifically proven way to up your game.

What are Creatine Powders?

When stored in the muscles, creatine helps the body to produce ATP, or adenosine triphosphate.

This is a high-energy molecule that plays a vital role in providing athletes with enough energy for exercise. By increasing rates of creatine within the body through adding powders to things like shakes and smoothies, you can increase your rates of energy, which allows you to better your performance and improve your results. Creatine powders are safe and are scientifically proven to have many healthful benefits, and so they are widely used throughout the sports nutrition world.

Why use Creatine Powders?

Just a scoopful of creatine powder into your favourite pre-workout drink can make all the difference to your performance.

Whether your chosen exercise calls for short bursts of energy or requires stamina and longevity, creatine powders are an easy way to up your levels and see real results. Anyone wanting to increase his or her physical performance or undertake high intensity exercises or training can benefit from adding these powders into their diet. A little goes a long way, and with neutral tasting powders available, you can easily ingest them to start delivering a better, stronger performance right away.

Diet Protein

Diet Protein

Support your health and fitness goals with our Diet Protein and Meal Replacement Shakes. Formulated with a unique blend of vitamins and minerals for an extra boost of goodness!

Protein can play a key role in supporting your weight loss programme. Because fat is metabolised within muscle, it is important to preserve muscle when dieting and exercising for fat loss.

Think of muscle as the furnace that burns your fat! What's more, studies suggest that a protein rich diet can help you achieve a more aesthetic body – with less fat and more muscle tone! By preserving lean muscle with a protein-rich meal plan, you'll promote the loss of body fat, rather than muscle tissue. When combined with resistance exercise, the result is weight loss that leaves you with a leaner and more toned body – and not the 'skinny fat' look! Combine the benefits of protein with other weight management ingredients and you have an effective supplement stack to help you achieve your fat loss goals.

Our weight management protein shakes, include green tea which increases the beta oxidation of fat molecules, leading to a reduction in body fat. They're also optimized with a targeted micro nutrient stack to support a healthy metabolism, combat fatigue and promote thyroid function. Finally, they're fortified with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a smart-fat that's been successfully researched in obesity studies in the USA and Canada and has been shown to be effective at helping to reduce cholesterol. Our science-driven weight management shakes taste great, but contain controlled calorie levels to help you create a daily energy deficit.

Protein Cookies

Think having a “cheat” is going to ruin your healthy eating plans?

With our tasty, healthy protein cookies, this doesn’t have to be the case. Each cookie is slow baked to lock in maximum flavour whilst delivering 23g of protein. To refuel after the gym, prepare for your workout, or simply to enjoy a healthy snack on the go, protein cookies belong in the snack cupboard of any fitness enthusiast.

Snack the healthy way with protein cookies

It can often be the case that when re-hauling your healthy eating plan to achieve your fitness goals, the temptation of a sweet treat every once in a while remains.

With protein cookies, you can enjoy something that tastes delicious without deviating from your fitness goals. Our cookies contain less sugar and fat than store-bought cookies, and because they come individually wrapped, they are super convenient to enjoy on the way back from the gym or while out and about. In between training and other commitments, it can be hard to consume the necessary high levels of protein to ensure proper muscular repair, and so our cookies are the perfect way to get this nutrition without having to worry about preparing extra meals or shakes.

Which protein cookies are best?

Your ideal protein cookie should deliver the right macro nutrients and be made with natural ingredients, and there should be a high level of quality-source protein.

Some cookies are filled with carbs that have a high glycaemic index, meaning a rating of 70 or more. This means the sugar is absorbed quickly into the body, resulting in a “sugar rush”. While this can provide a quick burst of energy, there is also a sugar crash to think about afterwards. Our cookies are made with low GI carbs so that you don’t have to worry about this; the body digests these at a slower rate, meaning you feel fuller for longer without wanting to snack. As sugar is released slowly into the bloodstream, so there’s no sugar rush or crash to worry about – just natural, slowly released energy.

At SCI-MX, we have worked hard to produce the best tasting, high-in-protein cookie, available in three delicious flavours. Our cookies support muscle growth and development, making them an essential part of your diet plan if you are looking to lose weight, gain mass, strengthen and tone, or generally improve your health and wellness.

Protein Drinks

Ready-formulated protein drinks are a great way to get a quick shot of powerful protein into your system.

To help muscles repair effectively and to support your training efforts, supplementing your protein intake with a shake or ready-made drink is essential. At SCI-MX, we have a number of delicious drinks packed with quality protein to deliver essential support to the muscles and support healthy post-workout repair and growth.

What are Protein Drinks?

Protein drinks are specially-formulated drinks that contain high levels of protein.

They are nutritional in nature and do not have any impact on your hormones. Rather, the protein content delivers essential amino acids to muscle cells, helping them to regenerate after a heavy physical workout. Different to products designed to aid bulking up (like mass gain supplements) or hormone stimulants (such as testosterone boosters), these drinks are the all-round essential work-out buddy, delivering higher levels of protein than could be obtained from food alone.

The benefits of Protein Drinks

In order to bulk up, slim down or otherwise achieve your training goals, it’s important to consume high levels of protein, otherwise your body won’t have adequate levels to effectively grow and repair your muscles.

Protein drinks are ready-made solutions that make it easy to increase your level of protein consumption without having to radically overhaul your diet. Our scientifically engineered drinks contain between 22g and 35g of protein, and come in convenient bottles ready for you to open and enjoy straight after a workout.

You don’t have to worry about any of the prep or clean-up involved with making your own shakes, and you can be sure that the protein you are receiving is of the highest quality, as our expert nutritionists ensure the protein sources in every drink are the best available. This is to help with rapid absorption into the body, helping you strengthen and repair your muscles after every race, lifting session, or any other activity.

Discover our Protein Drinks today

At SCI-MX, we have created a range of wholesome, delicious drinks that make it easy and convenient to get the protein you need on the go.

We have a 100% fat free recipe available, ideal for those looking to achieve weight loss through their workout efforts, our recipes are developed in delicious flavours like strawberry and chocolate.

Ready-made protein drinks are ideal for professional and recreational athletes, those training for high intensity events, gym enthusiasts, and indeed anyone looking to build muscle and improve fitness levels. These drinks can be stored in the fridge and easily consumed on the go, making them the perfect way to fit necessary protein intake into today’s busy life around a demanding training schedule.

Growth & Repair

When it comes to strengthening your muscles, bulking up and seeing results from your weight training efforts, recovery nutrition plays an important part.

At SCI-MX, we have a number of protein supplements, powders, shakes and snacks that can give your body the added levels of protein needed to aid muscle repair and growth.

Find recovery and repair protein supplements

During exercise, tiny tears take place in the muscles as they are stretched and pushed, particularly during weight training.

Protein is a building block in the body, and it is essential to helping muscles repair after working out. For fitness enthusiasts and athletes in pursuit of lean muscle growth, ensuring an intake of high quality protein after a session in the gym is essential. Our OMNI MX ALL IN ONE MASS is among the best protein powder products available to help the body recover and increase workout gains. This heavyweight system has proved unmatched in helping to build muscle, and when taken regularly can increase your energy and power before a workout, and contribute to anti-workout fatigue afterwards. We have a number of other popular growth repair protein supplements that contains high levels of whey isolate, carbohydrates, and other essential vitamins and minerals to support effective muscle repair.

In addition to being great for recovery, protein also provides the body with energy, and so we have a number of pre-workout shakes and supplements available as well. No matter your training of choice, we have products that can deliver nutrients straight into your system to aid with repair and recovery immediately following a workout session.

Vegan Protein

Vegan Protein

Maintain and build muscle mass with our plant-based protein powders. Whether you follow a vegan diet or simply prefer plant-based products, we have delicious vegan protein powders for you.

While it’s true that protein is found in meat and fish, many vegetarian and vegan bodybuilders, athletes, and fitness fans want to obtain high levels of protein from alternative sources.

Plant based protein products fill this hole, and play a large part in helping non-meat eating sports men and women build and maintain lean body mass. At SCI-MX, we have formulated delicious, dairy-free and gluten-free plant protein supplements that can be a powerful tool in your training arsenal. Our own unique blend of plant proteins ensures you get what you need when training to help your muscles repair, all whilst keeping energy levels high and staving off cravings.

What is Plant Protein?

Plant protein is derived from sources other than meat and fish, such as soy and pea.

Soy protein holds high levels of amino acids, and similarly pea protein (extracted from the yellow pea) has a strong amino acid profile. Plant-based proteins are higher in L-arginine, L-glycine and BCAAs than their whey, milk or egg counterparts, and because there are no animal derivatives or any dairy or gluten, they make a great alternative for athletes with diary restrictions or intolerances.

Why take Plant Protein supplements?

If you wish to steer clear of ingredients like milk, egg, fish and meat/gelatine and yet still want to increase your protein intake to support a new or improved fitness regime, plant protein is an excellent alternative.

At SCI-MX, we have developed a plant-based protein supplement that is suitable for use before and after training, or to kick-start or wind down the day. Each serving contains high levels of vitamins, nutrients and magnesium that can help reduce fatigue and boost energy, ideal for those with strenuous training regimes. The body needs high levels of protein to aid muscle recovery and repair, and this is especially true when traditional sources like meat and fish are eliminated from the diet. While meat substitutes, legumes and nuts are high in protein, they alone are not enough to provide the very high levels of protein that are needed to support efforts like cross-training, marathon running, weight lifting and all other forms of exercise.

At SCI-MX, we know that just as the training needs of each individual athlete vary and differ, so too do the dietary restrictions and preferences.

In order to help all athletes obtain the nutrition and high levels of protein needed to see sufficient gains and achieve their fitness goals, we have created an advanced blend of rice, soy and pea proteins. Add our plant protein powder to shakes or drinks, and reap the benefits of this effective vegetarian supplement. There are 34g of protein per serving, making it comparable with other proteins such as whey, and it is ideal for athletes adhering to non-dairy, gluten free and vegan diets.
