B-Protein (British Biologicals) — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates B-Protein (British Biologicals) by british biologicals ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
A protein supplement built around added sugar and maltodextrin, not just protein. Sucrose and maltodextrin sit right behind the protein blend, so you're getting a big dose of refined carbs with your scoop.
Why this verdict
- Sucrose (added sugar) is the 3rd ingredient, ahead of cocoa and fiber
- Maltodextrin adds a second refined, high-glycemic carb on top of the sugar
- Two distinct sweetener/refined-carb sources = engineered sweetness
- NOVA-4 ultra-processed formula despite the 'balanced nutrition' framing
- Vitamins, minerals and inulin are real positives but don't offset the sugar base
Ingredients (11)
- Whey Protein Concentrate (safe) — Dairy protein used for body and freeze-thaw stability.
- Soy Protein Isolate (moderate) — Highly processed isolated protein; effective for protein content but a refined, industrial ingredient.
- Skimmed Milk Powder (safe) — Milk solids in the fillings.
- sucrose (concerning) — Plain added table sugar layered on top of the sugar alcohols and sucralose.
- Maltodextrin (moderate) — Highly processed starch-derived carbohydrate used as a carrier and texturizer; spikes blood sugar readily.
- Malt Extract (moderate) — Barley-derived sweetener, also a source of gluten.
- natural cocoa powder (safe) — Provides flavor and some antioxidants; benign.
- Inulin (dietary fibre) (safe) — Prebiotic fiber that supports gut bacteria; a real positive.
- Oleic sunflower oil powder (moderate) — Spray-dried high-oleic oil; the oil itself is fine but it's a refined, encapsulated fat ingredient.
- Minerals (safe) — Fortified mineral blend for nutritional completeness.
- vitamins (safe) — Added vitamins (D, B2, B12, folate) that anchor the immunity/brain claims.
