NAKPRO PERFORM Whey Protein Concentrate | 23.1g Protein, 5.7g BCAA | Added Digestive Enzymes | Easy Mixing, Easy Digesting, Fast Absorbing Whey Protein Powder for Men & Women | 1 Kg Coffee Flavour (30 Servings)

I've been a big fan of raw whey protein concentrate because of their great value for money factor. I've used almost 12 kgs of raw whey from another brand until recently when most of the products weren't available during the lockdown. That's when I decided to give Nakpro a try - and I got 2 of these Perform Whey Concentrate for Rs. 799 each. The products arrived well in time considering the lock-down situation, well packaged too. I live in Chennai and the package came from Bangalore, that's where this is made. At the time of writing this review, I have finished 1 kg of this product and just opened the second pack this evening. So I guess I've used this product long enough to give a review on. Let's get into the details and scores (out of 5): Package: 5 Product came properly packed without any kind of packaging defect/damage Authentication: 5 There's a sticker with a code revealed upon scratching that authenticates the product when you text the same to the given number. No big deal here. Texture/Nature: 3 The powder seemed "extra" fine to me, something new to me as I'm a regular user of another brand of protein and I've never come across such a fine powder. The moment you pick up the powder in a scoop you could easily see very fine particles flying all around the place. Giving it a 3 out of 5 just on a personal opinion, though I can't say if this is really something to be concerned about. Scoop availability: 5 Scoop was right at the top - no digging around to find it, considering that the quantity is also just 1 kg, shouldn't be too difficult to find the scoop. Sometimes it's a challenge to find the scoop when you buy huge jars of 4 kg of protein. It's a black plastic scoop of decent quality. Mixability: 5 Mixes well with water as well as milk effortlessly be it a shaker or a glass. Taste: 1 Raw whey protein - no taste - just the way (whey) it should be. Can't help but a 1, as people tend to associate superb taste to a 5 rating here. Smells like delicious milk powder though. Digestibility: 5 This might be a factor where it may depend on people to people, based on their body. For me, digestion was never an issue, no noticeable bloating after consumption. Sometimes I tend to fart a little extra if I consume it after lunch around the evening. Pretty normal, I would say. Results: 5 It's lock-down time, and since all the gyms are closed one has to resort to working out at home. I do a full body training thrice a week at my home with a barbell and an adjustment dumbell along with plates with total weight of 20 kg. Helps a lot in recovery, and I must say that it is working as it is supposed to be. I am getting the gains that I should be considering my training intensity. This is not a magical powder that'll give you super magical gains all of a sudden. I consume 15 eggs a day, chicken/fish 200 grams, and I take 2 scoops of this protein a day. So yeah, works very well for me. Value for money: 5 This would be one of the best value for money product out there in the market. You get 24 grams of protein in a heaping scoop (1 serving) of 33 grams. Rs. 799 for 1000/33 x 24 = 727 grams of pure protein. Cost of 1 gram of pure protein = 799 / 727 = Rs. 1.1 (cheapest you can get). Cost of 1 gram of pure protein of my other regular raw whey protein: Rs. 1.56 (this is for comparison, Rs. 5001 for 4 kg of raw whey protein at 80% protein) Note: I would notice excessive foam after mixing this protein with water in a shaker and after drinking it. A quick Google search helped me in understanding that this was common, however I've never experienced this kind of foaming in my other regular brand. Will I buy this again in the future? Sure, yes. I don't care about the taste, this gives me good results at a low price, so yeah. Definitely buying it again.

This protein powder is easy to digest and doesn’t feel heavy on the stomach. It mixes really well with water or milk, with no lumps at all. I’ve noticed good support for muscle recovery and improvement since using it. Overall, a great quality protein that’s simple to use and effective.

I am a Coffee aficionado so you can trust me on this. I’m extracting my time just to write this review in most elaborative way possible. 1. The taste is a banger. If you mix it with 250-300 ml of milk, it offers a pure cafe like experience with amazing thickness and taste. With water, it is slightly on the artificial sweeter end. But with milk, it hits all the right spots. It’s not overly or artificially sweet with milk. With water it is still drinkable. I’ve tried the Whole Truth coffee flavour and believe you me, with the huge variance in price point, this protein powder tastes way better because it offers a richer and stronger coffee flavour. 2. It’s is not heavy on the gut. It is just what you expect from a good quality whey. I’ve tried pea protein and it was very heavy on my stomach. 3. The mix-ability is a little tricky though. With milk, you need to shake it vigorously for long enough duration. With water, it’s relatively easy to mix. 4. Here comes the best part, the price. With such a reasonable price, it’s adorable for the quality it gives. It is affordable, effective, tasty, and simply put GO FOR IT.

Flavour: 3/10. Barely taste like coffee but added coffee myself to make it better. Mixability: 9/10 Digestibility: 10/10 Packaging: 2/10. The "resealable" pack could only be resealed once and then stopped working. Had to find a container to keep it from going bad from moisture. Effectiveness: Can't say, not used long enough First time buying Nakpro as I needed a small pack while traveling and this was the only decent option with quick delivery. Ordered coffee flavour but there is barely any flavour in this. I tried mixing with 250ml water and then with 200ml water but still the flavour is very light, and tastes more like chocolate than coffee. I normally use MuscleBlaze blue tokai coffee whey and that is a 9/10 on flavour, while this is 3/10. Doesn't taste bad but doesn't taste good either. I made it better by adding some coffee powder. Than being said, I really liked it's mixability and the fact that it was easy on my stomach. I'm lactose intolerant and many whey proteins lead to an upset stomach for me, but not this one. 9/10 on mixability and quality, same as muscleblaze.

Good protein at decent price mixability very good no lumps chocolate flavour has good taste.

Decided to try the Chocolate flavoured whey after using the unflavoured one. Boy it did not go well. After taking the very first scoop with some dietary fibre I went to bed, woke up a few hours later feeling hot and nauseating , tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't had to get up and as soon as I sat on side of the bed the nausea became uncontrollable and had to rush to bathroom to vomit. After which I felt much better and was able to go back to sleep. This never happened to me with the unflavoured one. Don't know what was added or missing in the chocolate flavour whey that gave me this reaction. I am now stuck with 2kg of whey which I will never use and would never deliberately give it to someone else fearing they might go through the same pain I went through, so I will just have to throw it away. I would also caution others to be careful and if possible test the whey before they decide to buy it.
