What is Whey Protein Concentrate 80%?
BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80% is manufactured from a premium source of vegetarian sweet cheese whey. It is packed with vital nutrients such as Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) and L-Glutamine that help to repair, maintain and build muscle tissue. It also contains and increases levels of potent antioxidants, helping to improve immune system function. All these benefits and yet it is low in fat, carbohydrates, lactose and cholesterol!
Why should I use BP Basics Whey Protein 80%?
As you may have read, the BP Basics range was founded upon three principles: Simplicity, Quality and Value. We believe that our Whey Protein Concentrate 80% reflects these principles more than any other product in our range. It has been our ‘flagship’ product since BulkPowders.co.uk was launched in 2005, highlighted by the fact that thousands of people across Europe, just like you, have made it their protein of choice.
Simplicity
Its simplicity is best explained by following its progress from the dairy to your home! First, the sweet cheese whey undergoes various processes such as membrane filtration and low-temperature drying. These processes effectively ‘purify’ the whey. It is then bagged up by the dairy and transported to our state of the art on-site production facility where it is put in to food-grade, tamper-evident containers (for free — we don’t charge you extra for a tub!). Nothing is added, nothing is taken away. It is unflavoured, unsweetened and unprocessed. You place an order and we have it with you in 24 to 48 hours. Simple!
Quality
We ensure that all products in the BP Basics range are of the absolute highest quality. Our Whey Protein Concentrate 80% is certainly no exception. In the past ‘bulk’ and ‘unflavoured’ whey proteins have had a stigma of being low quality, although admittedly this has often been the result of rumours circulated by the ‘big brands’ who realised that bulk whey protein was growing in popularity. When BulkPowders was launched we wanted to ensure that there could never be any stigma or doubts in regard to our quality. Ensuring this was, and still is, a two-stage process.
First, we needed to source the highest quality whey protein available. We tested and sampled different whey proteins from all over the world including various countries in Europe and some further afield such as New Zealand and the USA. Eventually we sampled a whey protein from a leading Western European dairy that not only had an outstanding nutritional profile, but also tasted good, mixed easily and had an excellent texture. To complete stage one, we conducted our own independent tests to ensure the nutritional profile really lived up to the specification provided by the dairy. Needless to say it came back with a big stamp of approval.
Why not check out the Certificate of Analysis above? This is updated whenever we receive a new ‘batch’ of whey protein and so reflects the exact product you are purchasing. We are proud of our quality and would like you to see it with your own eyes rather than just taking our word for it.
Ok, so you know that when the protein reaches us, it is top quality. Well, we can guarantee 100% that it reaches you in the same condition. How? We carry out the repackaging of they whey in-house in our state of the art manufacturing facility. We also use an advanced batch traceability procedure, which allows us to track the movements of each and every gram of protein, from the dairy to your door!
Value
Take a look at the price of our Instantised Whey Protein Concentrate 80%. From just £6.75 per kg (£0.20 per serving!) we are sure that this is the lowest price advertised in Europe. Now also consider:
- BP Basics whey has an amazing nutritional profile (if not the best available!).
- It tastes as good as unflavoured whey can taste!
- It is ‘instantised’ so it mixes easily with no lumps and clumps!
- Quality is guaranteed through independent testing and in-house production!
- A Certificate of Analysis is available (at the top of this page) to show you the exact product you are purchasing!
- Unlike another company, we don’t make you pay £0.75 (per kg!) for having your whey put into a tub. The cost of our food-grade, tamper-evident containers, is included in the price.
Why use BP Basics Whey Concentrate 80%?
If you exercise or workout regularly, whether it is for enjoyment, competition, to improve your physique, or for any other reason, then you need lots of protein! Without protein your muscles are unable to repair themselves after exercise, will not grow (no matter how much you train them) and can literally waste away. To put it simply: If you want to repair, build and maintain muscle you need quality protein and lots of it!
Meat, fish and dairy products are high in protein, but in today’s modern world most of us are short on time, so preparing and consuming these foods between 5-8 times per day is near impossible and extremely costly. Furthermore, scientists firmly believe that whey protein in general is the ‘perfect protein’ for any individual with an active lifestyle. Therefore supplementing with BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80% is the obvious choice. It costs from only £0.20 per serving and can be prepared and consumed in less than one minute!
BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate also:
- Provides a massive 80% of quality whey protein per serving, scientifically proven to help repair, build and maintain muscle.
- Contains the all important amino acid L-Glutamine, shown to increase growth hormone levels, reduce muscle wastage and rapidly improve recovery from exercise.
- Is packed with Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), the amino acids that are vital to building muscle, preventing muscle loss and supporting fat loss.
Why use BP Basics Whey Concentrate 80%?
Whether you are a ‘fitness fanatic’ or a ‘couch potato’, we can all benefit from using a high quality whey protein supplement.
For example, BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80% can serve to improve immune system function. The amino acids L-Glutamine and L-Cysteine, both found in our whey protein, have been shown to increase levels of Glutathione. This is a potent antioxidant that helps to fight free radicals and therefore boost our immune systems. Furthermore, our whey contains high levels of immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, both of which also support immune function.
BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80% is high in Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) and L-Glutamine, both of which are regularly used in hospitals to prevent catabolism. Catabolism is effectively muscle wastage. Those who are for example incapacitated or bed-ridden, will undoubtedly suffer from this crippling disease, which can make performing simple tasks extremely difficult.
The underlying message here is that you do not have to be Mr. Olympia to use a whey protein supplement. Any individual who lacks protein in their diet, or who simply wants a convenient low-carbohydrate/low-fat meal replacement, can benefit from this fantastic dietary supplement. Those who are lactose intolerant will also be pleased to know that BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80% is low in lactose. (Note: BP Basics Whey Protein Isolate 90% is even lower in lactose and as such offers a better alternative for those who are lactose intolerant).

Serving Size & Timing
We recommend consuming approximately 30g of BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80% per serving. Use between 1-5 servings daily depending on your protein requirements. For muscle growth you should look to consume 3g of protein per kg of bodyweight. So if you weigh 80kg then you need approximately 240g of protein per day for optimal muscle growth. For the health and recovery benefits of protein, or if you are female, you should aim to consume 1.5g-2g of protein per kg of bodyweight. So if you weigh 80kg you will need 120g-160g of protein per day.
As BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80% is very quick to absorb, the optimal times to use it are immediately upon waking (preferrably with water/juice) and immediately after exercise (preferrably with water/juice). After exercise many athletes take a double serving (60g) as the body is able to process a larger amount of protein in its depleted state. Other common times to supplement with whey protein are about 30-45 minutes prior to exercise, in between meals to keep the body anabolic, and prior to bed. Mixing whey protein with milk helps to slow down its absorption, before sleep this has obvious benefits over mixing it with water.
A BulkPowders.co.uk 75ml measure (level scoop) holds 25g of Whey Protein Concentrate when uncompressed.
A BulkPowders.co.uk 75ml measure (level scoop) holds 30g of Whey Protein Concentrate when compressed.
Synergists
After exercise it is common to combine BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80% with a fast-acting carbohydrate such as , Dextrose or Maltodextrin. These carbohydrates create an 'insulin spike' which ensures that the protein is transported to the muscle cells in record speed. The sooner muscle cells receive this protein, the sooner they can begin to repair and grow. If you are taking other supplements (such as Creatine or Amino Acids) we would suggest combining these with your choice of Carbohydrate immediately after exercise, and then consuming your whey protein 10-20 minutes later. Alternatively, and for convenience, you could combine all your supplements into a single drink.
Safety
BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80% is perhaps the safest supplement available! In essence it is 'food', just in a convenient, powder form.

There is no known toxicity of BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80%
