    Was thinking about buying it and im just wondering how you worked out that it's rubbish? Have you used it, or are you just going by reviews

    Someone posted it before, I think the protein% is actually really low

    EDIT:

    http://www.matrix-nutrition.co.uk/buy.cfm/protein-powders/matrix-elite-whey-protein-2.25kg/79/yes/79151
    its only 53% protein per serving.
    Also they don't list their ingredients.

    Also there is one review and it is negative.

    Here is the nutritional breakdown:

    Whey Matrix Protein Amount per 45g Serving:
    K cals/K: 146 k cals
    Protein: 24g
    Fat: 2.7g
    Of which are saturates: 2.2g
    Trans Fat: 0g
    Carbohydrates: 11g
    Sodium: Trace

    So, yeah, not the best for protein content.

    Its pretty bad, the whey is only 53% protein. To put it in perspective you can get 2.5kgs of ~75% protein delivered to your door for 45 euro (often with a free shaker). The creatine you can get for 18 euro (180 caps for 14 euro) - that works out as a total of 63 euro for .25kg extra whey that contains almost 50% more protein. Given that you buy protein shakes for protein its a no-brainer.

    edit: if you buy the whey online in 5kg or 10kg bags its even cheaper per kg.

    edit: its bad value even with the discount - without it its unreal that people pay that much.
