AS-IT-IS Nutrition Whey Protein Concentrate 80% – 1kg | Unflavoured | tested for purity | Labdoor certified

I’ve been working out for almost four months now, and it has been almost two months since I’ve been using AsItIs Raw Whey Protein. Let me begin with what I appreciate about this product. First, it is pocket-friendly and one of the cheapest concentrated whey proteins I’ve seen on the market. Second, it does help with muscle building (call it newbie gains), considering I’m new to weightlifting and didn’t use any protein for the first couple of months. Lastly, it doesn’t contain any artificial sweeteners, which adds to its benefits. These are the aspects I liked about the product.

Now, moving on to what I don’t like about it. Let me start with the worst of all: the digestion time. Despite not being lactose intolerant, it’s too much for my stomach to handle. Even after using it for almost two months, I’m still experiencing stomach aches, bloating, and a gassy stomach. I usually have it as my post-workout meal along with two bananas. However, on an unfortunate day, I took it on an empty stomach as I had run out of bananas or any other fruit. This turned out to be a mistake. I felt nauseous for nearly an hour, experienced a gassy stomach, and the pain was so intense that I almost passed out. Relief only came after I vomited the remaining contents in my stomach. This wasn’t an isolated incident, as it occurred months after my first consumption.Imagine the impact on those with weaker digestion. Perhaps the product lacks digestive enzymes, making it harder to digest. While I have more grievances about this product, I lack the energy to delve into them. This marks my second and final purchase of AsItIs Raw Whey Protein. Regardless of how cheap it becomes, I won’t buy this product again. It’s simply not worth it.

I am a guy who has been working out since 4 years. This is my second supplement in 4 years. I had only taken in ON Gold standard whey protein initially that too maybe around 5 scoops in total. I have not taken any whey protein ever since. I just consumed Bpi Sport BCAA and Xtend BCAA in middle.

Now let me get to the point, the whole myth of having a whey protein necessarily to gain muscle mass is totally rubbish. I gained 14kgs of lean muscle mass in all this time. My arms went from 13 to 17 and everything was done by eating eggs, chicken and mutton for major protein source.

Supplement has only one benefit and that is absorption of protein quickly into your body when it requires protein the most (post workout). One scoop of supplement has around 24gms protein which equals to 4 whole eggs. I agree that the absorption will be slower but if you are in muscle building phase and a beginner, I highly suggest you to stick with eggs. I have my own reasons for getting a protein powder after 4 yrs of training.

Now, coming to the problems (which others face and not me) –

1) Taste:
There is no taste. It is like milk powder without sugar or you can say it tastes like milk without sugar.

Personally I do not have any issues in this because remember that supplement isn’t meant to taste good. It is meant to supplement your diet plus the price is so less so that much has to be sacrificed.

2) Digestion:
Spend a long time (at least 3 years) in gym regularly with good diet, your tummy will accept this with ease but if you take this as a beginner in the first month of your bodybuilding career, I am sorry to say this but your toilet will suffer a lot.

In my case, I did not feel a single digestive issue with Asitis. I found a problem with MyProtein Clear whey Isolate Orange Mango. I had too much acidity when I consumed that for 2 days.

Lastly, I would suggest everyone to buy the 250g packet to try it before spending money on a 1kg or 2.5kg pack.

This is good product, recommended

I have used all of their flavours before trying this unflavoured. Initially after reading the reviews I was reluctant to use unflavoured. Trust me all flavoured ones taste extremely artificial and have added sweetener. Surprisingly this unflavoured whey dissolved in milk tastes far far better than other flavours. It takes some time to dissolve. Great product
