10 best Russian proteins

Russian-made product - 62% whey concentrate. All its components are produced in EU countries and comply with its standards. The concentrate itself is made in France at Armor Proteines S.A.S. In the same place, but at the Nexira plant, a thickener is ordered. A mix of Doehler GmbH brand vitamins and cocoa are coming from Germany. Ingredients are proportionally mixed already in Russia. According to its own recipe, the brand creates a high-calorie product: 213 kcal per serving, if the powder is mixed with milk.This nuance should be paid attention to losing weight. However, with a pronounced need for protein, a cocktail can be replaced with a full snack or used during the transition to meals 5-6 times a day.

The domestic brand Bombbar is one of the first Russian manufacturers who proposed preparing light desserts based on protein powder. Recipes are available on the company's website. Given the moderate amount of protein in 100 g - only 68.8 g, the product is optimal for daily reinforcement of the body and supporting the construction of new cells, the synthesis of enzymes and hormones, etc. But for athletes gaining shape, this amount will not be enough. A nice bonus in the composition is fiber - this component is not enough for 97% of the inhabitants of Russia. It has a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract, therefore, eliminates the occurrence of various digestive ailments. Vitamin C is also present in the protein. It has a positive effect on the immune system.

This mixture is one of the most inexpensive variants of Russian-made sports nutrition. Daily consumption of three servings costs less than 100 rubles. At the same time, the composition is quite balanced: the protein matrix consists of 5 types of proteins. Carbohydrates are represented by fructose and glucose. Additionally, the manufacturer enriched the mix with vitamin C to strengthen immunity. In addition to the standard set of animal proteins, the protein is diluted with wheat - 5.5%. The presence of gluten expands the list of allergy sufferers for whom this supplement is not recommended. It is easy to prepare a cocktail from a powder: it does not take lumps and dissolves quickly, as follows from the reviews. But the taste is not for everyone: for those who do not consume sugar, "Milk Chocolate" seems cloying.

As for whey concentrate, the product has a high percentage of pure protein - 80%. This is achieved by ultrafiltration and is the best option for creating relief. The cocktail is suitable for beginner weightlifters: it is easy to prepare, it is enriched with amino acids and is quickly absorbed. The highlight of the brand is neutral drinks. These can be stirred in milk, kefir, water, while maintaining an unobtrusive taste. The powder does not stick together over time due to the anti-caking agent in the composition. However, storage packaging is not the best for a bulk product. The soft container closes with a zip-lock, into which small particles are clogged, and it quickly becomes unusable, letting air inside.

The multicomponent supplement contains 4 types of protein: casein, egg, milk and soy. Their balanced ratio forms an optimal amino acid profile: 60/20/10/10, respectively. Due to the high content of whey protein and glucose, the product is quickly absorbed and contributes to mass gain - the muscles are intensely saturated for about 8 hours. However, due to its high carbohydrate content - 17.8 g per 100 g of product - is not the best choice during drying. From the moment the package is opened, the shelf life is 3 weeks, so the supplement should be purchased by those whose need is more than 1 serving per day. Based on the reviews, this is one of the top Russian mixes in the inexpensive segment.

Sports nutrition R-Line is positively evaluated by athletes with experience: the standard composition of BJU is supplemented with a vitamin-mineral complex. Only 3 cocktails a day, according to the promise of the Russian manufacturer, is enough for the body to replenish the micro and macro elements wasted during training. However, this powder consumption cannot be called economical.In a kilogram package, there are only 21 servings of 47 g each. In total, a pack is enough for about a week. The reviews note the excellent taste of protein shakes. It is recommended to stir in milk, it does not dissolve so well in water. For piquancy, technologists add pieces of sublimated fruit, and natural fruit juice concentrate is used as a sweetener.

The St. Petersburg brand has been present on the functional nutrition market since 2015. During this time, it has established itself as a technological manufacturer. The company's product is produced in a gentle way so as not to damage the natural protein structure. Micellar casein maintains an optimal amino acid profile and is digested for a long time. After drinking, the cocktail turns into a curd substance and saturates the body for about 8 hours. Based on this property, the recommended time of admission is at night or on fasting days. The Russian-made sports supplement is made entirely from raw materials from leading European suppliers: Hockdorf and Cremosa.The cost is corresponding - 15-20% higher than similar domestic powders.

Protein concentrate is the best option for athletes gaining dry mass. It's perfect even during the dry season. There are practically no fats and carbohydrates in it, there is no sugar in the composition at all, extraneous additives that interfere with the full digestibility of the protein are also excluded. This composition is to the taste of many professional athletes, as they write about in the reviews. Only a brief feeling of satiety is noted. Although it is not worth waiting for it from whey proteins. Among the minuses is a thick abundant foam after making a cocktail in a shaker. It is quite dense and settles for a long time, so it is recommended to use a container with a wide neck.

The Russian-made cocktail is the leader in the amount of protein among protein concentrates. In one serving, it is 9.27 g. At the same time, the quality corresponds to the cost - one drink costs a little less than 60 rubles. Athletes note the optimal consistency without lumps and foam. Such a cocktail is easy to drink, and it is absorbed in 1.5–2 hours, which is much faster than poorly soluble analogues. Opinions differ on taste. It is not pronounced, which is not liked by sweet lovers who compare it with kefir. However, this does not affect the popularity of the powder, so it is better to order a drink online. In ordinary sports nutrition stores, the most popular flavors (“banana” and “pistachio ice cream”, “vanilla”) are often not in stock or they are quickly taken apart.

The product is 88% protein - from one serving the consumer receives 29 g of protein, which makes the powder ideal for building relief. The remaining 12% are natural flavor components. There are practically no fats and lactose in the composition, so the supplement is also suitable for replenishing the deficiency of amino acids before and after power loads. The company uses a unique membrane ultrafiltration technology, according to which the protein is obtained from natural milk, bypassing the cheese-making process. This process is softer than the traditional one, the proteins are not denatured and are better absorbed. The only negative that athletes note is the discrepancy between the measuring scoop of the portion: it holds only 22 g of powder, the rest has to be measured “by eye”.
