MuscleBlaze Whey Protein Review

Today we are going to review one of the most marketed protein in India. i.e MuscleBlaze Whey Protein. I have personally used this for about 20 days and writing this review after about a month hen I started using it. We on Sweat-More use all the products test them and only then we review. This is because we don't go with what is written on the label. Anyone can print a label! What's important is the actual content inside the container. So let's start with the Muscle Blaze Whey protein review.

 Muscle blaze whey protein comes with a scoop of size 33-grams (you have to check the scoop size of every protein you buy). Total Fat is 1.7 grams which is OKAY! 4.5 grams of carbohydrates, And the most important thing for all us is the "PROTEIN" content. For every 33 grams of scoop Muscleblaze Whey Protein gives you 25 grams of Pure protein. You have 11 essential amino acids in the protein content.

  • Results
Talking about what are the result that I got by using this product? Ordinary. Let me tell you why? So this Muscleblaze whey protein has around 75% pure whey protein as per the 25/33 ratio. I used this protein with good nutrition. Yet the results I got were not so great. The label of this product says its an PROTEIN ISOLATE. Not at all a Protein Isolate.


  • So who can buy this product?
People who want to bulk probably can buy it. But still I would suggest go for a good protein and take your carbohydrate from your meal. Anyways all our Indian food is full of carbs. No need to take carbs from any supplement.


  • Comparison with American brands
Many people say this protein is cheap as compared to american protein products. Are you sure? Think again! Lets take an example of Dymatize Elite 100% Whey protein 5lbs. The cost is 55 USD which is in today's price Rs. 3,746/-. And Muscleblaze 100% Whey costs Rs.4049 for 4.4 lbs with less biological value. i.e. less protein. The cost of these american brands goes up because of the import duty the original price is less.


  • Mixability:
Mix-ability of this protein is good. Few shakes and its good to have.


  • Taste
Taste is again okay. I am a person who wants his food to taste good. I bought the chocolate flavor, it was decent to taste.

Have you bought this protein? How was your experience? Do you hae some other thoughts about this? Do tell us in the comments below.
