Our take

CleanPlate review

Whey concentrate with cocoa, gums and sucralose

MuscleBlaze Biozyme Performance Whey Protein (Rich Chocolate) is a 500 g tub of whey protein concentrate with cocoa powder (11.6%), a branded enzyme blend (MB EnzymePro), xanthan gum, silicon dioxide, sucralose and flavouring. One level 36 g scoop gives about 25 g of protein.

CleanPlate scores it CD3. The C for nutrition is middling: 70 g protein per 100 g. The D for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by whey protein concentrate and cocoa powder), with additives that cost points: sucralose, flavouring, xanthan gum and silicon dioxide. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (473 mg per 100 g) and calories (388 kcal per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • Product name

    “Rich Chocolate Flavour”

    Holds

    Cocoa powder (11.6%) and chocolate flavouring are listed.

  • On the pack

    “Clinically proven: improves protein absorption by 50%”

    Be careful

    The study behind the enzyme blend cannot be checked from the label.

  • On the pack

    “Patented enhanced absorption formula (EAP)”

    Be careful

    A branded enzyme blend is listed without amounts.

  • On the pack

    “Builds lean muscle & supports recovery”

    Be careful

    A general benefit claim that depends on training and total protein, not on this powder alone.

How CD3 breaks down

Each grade is scored on its own. Here are the label numbers behind each one, per 100 g.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Whey protein concentrate, cocoa powder (11.6%), MB EnzymePro, stabiliser (INS 415), sweetener (INS 955), anti-caking agent (INS 551) and natural and nature-identical flavouring (Rich Chocolate).

Per 100 g: 388 kcal, 6 g fat of which 3.09 g saturated, 7.75 g sugar of which 0 g added, 70 g protein, 473 mg sodium. The listing is titled Sachets but the image is a 500 g tub; the tub is scored. The panel has no trans fat line, so the label loses 2 points and the score is provisional (a missing risk value never improves the risk grade). Total sugars are 7.75 g per 100 g with 0 g added, from the whey lactose and cocoa. Only the front image exists on the listing, so the panel is the listing text.

Ingredients to watch

  • SucraloseWorth watching

    Costs 4 points in the additives score.

  • Gum and anti-caking agentWorth watching

    Xanthan gum and silicon dioxide cost 2 points each.

  • Missing lineWorth watching

    The panel prints no trans fat value, so the label loses 2 points and the score is provisional.

  • ProteinFine

    70 g per 100 g, about 25 g a scoop, from whey concentrate.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Clinically proven" means the powder was tested

The claim cites an enzyme study; the label gives no amount of the enzyme blend.

Myth: "Concentrate is as pure as isolate"

At 70 g protein per 100 g it carries about 10 g less protein than the isolates in this category.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsA scoop a day at most, if food protein falls short
  • ChildrenNot needed
  • Diabetes or prediabetesFine in moderation

Smarter ways to eat it

One scoop

A 36 g scoop is about 140 kcal with 25 g of protein and 170 mg of sodium.

Concentrate or isolate

An isolate gives 80 to 90 g protein per 100 g with less lactose and fat.
