Looking for a premium quality whey protein powder that might just get you better results than other similar products and don’t care too much about the cost? Maximuscle Promax might be just what the doctor ordered. This is a classy tasting product that that has top quality written all over it. While I tend to use more inexpensive whey protein concentrate products these days in an effort to be a little more frugal, I do like to go for a high end product from the top shelf now and then. And Maximuscle Promax is just that.
This is a pure whey protein product consisting of Maximuscle’s Biomax, a proprietary blend of whey protein isolates, hydrolosates and whey peptides. The percentage of protein is high, with 24.3 grams of protein per 120 calorie serving, but not quite as high as we’ve seen in some of the other high end products on the market. As an example, Ultimate Nutrition’s Iso Cool (which we have not had a chance to review here yet), has a whopping 23 grams of protein per 90 calorie serving. Promax is still miles away from the super popular and great tasting Syntha-6, though, which has only 22 grams of protein per 200 calories. Protein percentage isn’t everything, of course. Many feel that they get better results from using Promax than they do using a similar product (and I’ve heard people say that about Syntha-6 too). While this product could be a little lower in fats and carbs, that would probably also have an adverse impact on the taste - and taste does matter quite a bit, in my opinion.
Promax ingredients:
Biomax, (90%, a Maximuscle proprietary high quality blend of whey protein isolates, hydrolosates and whey peptides), cocoa powder in Promax chocolate, Flavours: either vanilla/cocoa/strawberry/banana depending on the flavour displayed on each tub, Colours: riboflavin in vanilla and banana, beta carotene in vanilla, chocineal in strawberry; betain hydrochloride, patented in zinc stabilised purified prolase preparation derived from carcia papaya, Glutamine peptides, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), L-ornithine-keto-glutarate (OKG), Sweetener: Acesulfame-K, chromium picolinate.
Taste & mixability
This product tastes very good, and I’d love to order another tub of banana flavoured Promax again. Mixability is also pretty good, even though I could easily name a few products that mix even easier. And to everyone who wants more reviews of chocolate flavoured protein supplements here: I’m sorry, but after more than two decades of chocolate protein drinks I’m starting to get more than a little sick of them. Maybe I’ll start buying them again in the future, but for now I’m most fond of the fruit flavoured stuff.
Maximuscle Promax is no longer just a whey protein powder
Promax has become a whole series of products, so you’re not just limited to the protein powder reviewed here. You can also get the Promax Extreme, which is fortified with creatine and other potent ingredients like beta-ecdysterone (Suma extract), methoxyflavone and chromium picolinate. If you don’t feel like messing around with a blender or a shaker to get your Promax needs met, the Promax Meal Bars (which we will review here as soon as we can get our hands on them), RTD protein drinks, breakfast oats, the Crisp bar (another snack my sweet tooth has ordered me to check out), and the Promax amino acid blend. If you wanted to, you could probably live on Promax products alone (which would obviously be very, very silly, so don’t).
Maximuscle Promax is a bit too expensive for my liking, but seeing as the quality is so high I’d be happy to buy it again – soon! And that’s even with my Scottish genes, so the price can’t be that bad! 
You won’t get the highest amount of protein for your money here, but what you’ll get is very high quality protein, and if that is what matters most to you I urge you to give Promax a try.
