Summary of "Рейтинг протеиновых коктейлей (основе проверки в лаборатории)"
Context
- Lab tests were performed according to GOST standards and measured protein, fat, and carbohydrates for multiple ready-to-drink protein shakes and one pudding.
- Reported analytical error: ±0.13 (same units as lab transcript).
- Carbohydrate figures can be inflated by dietary fiber or thickeners, so carbs are treated as a less objective metric for these products.
- The reviewer ranks products primarily by cost per 1 g of actual tested protein, plus taste and price scores (0–5). Full test protocols will be published on the reviewer’s Telegram channel.
Note: cost-efficiency (RUB per 1 g tested protein) is emphasized as the main buying criterion.
Top-line verdict
- Best overall value / ranked leader: Shock — very low cost per gram of protein, pleasant/neutral taste.
- Other highly recommended: Exhibitor and Milk Culture — good price-to-protein ratio and acceptable taste.
- Some products slightly under- or overshot their declared protein (often within the ±0.13 lab error). Packaging and taste vary; tube formats can be awkward to drink.

- Price: 164 RUB → ≈5.05 RUB per 1 g (score 5/5).
- Taste: Neutral, not sour; reviewer 4/5.
- Pros: Very good price per gram, acceptable taste; promising newcomer.
- Cons: Small shortfall vs stated protein.
6) Exhibitor (named “exhibitor/hit” in video)
- Lab: Label 12 g → measured 12.33 g; fat ≈0.7 (label 0); carbs ≈2.5.
- Price: ≈170 RUB for 30 g protein → ≈5.52 RUB per 1 g (score 5/5).
- Taste: Moderately sweet / sour-milk, pleasant — 4/5.
- Pros: Good balance of price, taste and tested protein.
- Cons: Minor fat detected despite label zero.

- Price: ≈190 RUB → ≈4.36 RUB per 1 g (best value).
- Scores: Taste 4/5 (pleasant/neutral).
- Pros: Best cost-per-protein among tested items, good protein numbers, convenient box format.
- Verdict: Overall leader / best value for cost-conscious buyers.
8) Protein Max (M West)
- Lab: Label 12 g → measured 12.61 g; fat 0.6; carbs possibly higher due to thickeners.
- Price: ≈200 RUB → ≈6.70 RUB per 1 g (score 3/5).
- Taste: Poor mouthfeel — powdery residue on teeth, runny; reviewer 2/5.
- Pros: Protein close to label.
- Cons: Unpleasant texture and taste, price middling.
9) Let’s Go — 30 g
- Lab: Label 6 g → measured 5.85 g (slightly low); fat 0→0.1; carbs high (possible thickeners).

- Pros: One decent flavor.
- Cons: Thin texture, mediocre taste, protein close to or under label.
10) Protein pudding (caramel; non-shake)
- Lab: Label 10 g → measured 10.4 g protein; fat 1.6 (label 1.5); carbs 6.9.
- Price: ≈150–155 RUB → ≈7.45 RUB per 1 g (score 2/5).
- Taste: Caramel tasty — 4/5.
- Pros: Good taste, accurate protein.
- Cons: Expensive per gram of protein compared with shakes.
Other general observations
- Most measured protein values matched or slightly exceeded label values; a few were slightly under. Deviations often fall within the lab’s stated error (±0.13).
- Carbohydrate numbers are unreliable as a quality indicator because they may include fibers/thickeners used to modify texture.
- Packaging format matters: tube-type containers can be awkward to drink when the liquid is thick.
- The reviewer consistently emphasizes cost-efficiency (RUB per 1 g tested protein) as the main buying metric.
- Full lab protocols will be shared on the reviewer’s Telegram channel for verification.
Final recommendation (concise)
- Best value / overall leader: Shock — ≈4.36 RUB/g protein, pleasant taste.
- Good balance of price + taste: Exhibitor and Milk Culture — ≈5–5.5 RUB/g protein, acceptable taste.
- Best-tasting single flavors: Bombar strawberry, Aman banana, and the caramel protein pudding (all tasty, but pudding is expensive per protein gram).
- Avoid if you dislike texture/sourness: SN Energy (sour), Protein Max (powdery residue), and some tube-packaged Neo variants (inconvenient to drink).
- If you prioritize protein accuracy + price, use the lab-tested cost-per-gram metric shown. Full protocols will be available on the reviewer’s Telegram channel.
