Magnum Nutraceuticals Whey 100+: A Simple, Lower-Cost Alternative to Best-Seller Quattro

In early October of 2024, we welcomed Bull Russell, CEO of Magnum Nutraceuticals, to Episode #151 of the PricePlow Podcast. In that episode, we discussed Bill’s unique journey in bodybuilding and private equity, leading to his acquisition of Magnum. Staking itself on a commitment to extremely high-quality, science-backed products, Magnum has been a growing name in Canada, and Bill thinks it’s time to take the brand global.

From the Company that brought you Quattro…

Magnum Nutraceuticals Whey 100+: A Simple, Lower-Cost Alternative to Best-Seller Quattro

Introducing Magnum Nutraceuticals Whey 100+, a lower-cost alternative to Quattro. Whey 100+ simplifies things with 100% whey protein (concentrate and isolate) and added digestive enzymes for better absorption. With full transparency on the label, you know exactly what you’re getting in every scoop!

Magnum’s signature protein powder, Quattro, has experienced massive success, but it’s on the upper echelon of protein powders with its 4-stage protein matrix containing whey protein isolate 90%, milk protein isolate 90%+, micellar casein 85%+, and egg protein isolate, which brings a worthy price tag. For those who want something a bit less expensive (and admittedly slightly less premium), Magnum’s latest product is positioned as a more accessible protein option, while retaining Magnum’s attention to detail when it comes to ingredient quality and transparency.

Introducing Magnum Nutraceuticals Whey 100+

Whereas Quattro is a more complex formula shown above, Whey 100+ is far more streamlined. The 26g of protein in Whey 100+ comes from – you guessed it – whey protein! Specifically, a blend of whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate. Magnum has also included some digestive enzymes to help your body process the supplement.

Another high-quality label from Team Magnum

Even better, the label is highly transparent. We know exactly what we’re getting from each protein source, and we even know the quantities of each digestive enzyme in the mix, which is a rare thing to see. This is what we’re loving — things have been looking great since Bill took over at Magnum, with the Limitless X16 pre-workout release and their REFRSH electrolyte hydration sticks.

We’re going to dive into how Magnum Whey 100+ works, but first, let’s check PricePlow for good Magnum deals, and check out our video review of the new product:

Whey 100+ Ingredients

  • Whey Protein Blend

    Whey protein is a high-quality dairy protein derived from cow’s milk that is known for its fast absorption and high bioavailability.[1] It is also highly insulinogenic, which is beneficial for recovery after exercise. Compared to plant-based protein supplements, whey protein contains a higher concentration of essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own.[2] Studies have shown that incorporating whey supplements alongside a nutrient-dense, high-protein diet can improve body composition and increase strength in both men and women.[3-6]

    There are two main types of whey protein: whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein isolate (WPI). Whey protein concentrate can range from 34% to 80% protein by weight, with WPC80 being a popular form that contains 80% protein. This form retains some beneficial compounds from dairy, such as lactoglobulins and immunoglobulins,[7,8] which support the immune system. In contrast, whey protein isolate undergoes further filtration to remove fats and sugars, resulting in a higher purity level of about 90% protein by weight,[9] making it ideal for those following low-carb or low-fat diets.

    The Whey 100+ formula has 25 grams of WPC80 and a bit over 5.5 grams of WPI, meaning you get the best of both worlds.

  • Digestive Enzymes (500mg)

    In order to help with digestion and ensure all of that protein is put to good use, Magnum has included a digestive enzyme complex. First, we have amylase, which is responsible for breaking down starches. Next up we have protease for digesting protein, which has been shown to help keep soreness and damage in the muscles to a minimum.[10,11]. Last, we have some lactase for digesting the lactose from the whey.

    This means you’ll have a far better chance avoiding any gastrointestinal effects, and you’re body will have an easier time using each element of Whey 100+.

    Transparency is Vital in the Modern Era

    Because a good protein powder is a staple supplement for athletes – whether inexperienced or professional – it’s important that we choose a good one. While it would be easy to dismiss all protein powders as the same, they are not created equal.

    This broadens Magnum’s lineup quite a bit. If you’re looking for a top-notch protein blend with both slow- and fast-digesting proteins, Quattro is still the main name in town. Thanks to the casein and milk protein (which also contains casein) inside, it’ll be thicker and richer. But not everyone wants that! So if you’re looking for a pure whey protein powder from the Canadian powerhouse, Whey 100+ is your new go-to.

    Magnum Nutraceuticals Bill Russell on the PricePlow Podcast

    In Episode #151 of the PricePlow Podcast, Bill Russell shares his journey from Magnum Nutraceuticals customer to CEO, revealing the strategies behind building a global premium supplement brand.

    Yet they kept true to their ethos: One major differentiator for protein products is transparency. Most don’t disclose exactly how much of their protein blend is composed of each included source, although we’re seeing more transparency over time. Magnum backs that trend, listing the quantities of the WPC and WPI right on the label. Not only that, but the inclusion of digestive enzymes help to prevent any negative effects from malabsorption, while also allowing you to feel more at ease knowing your body has been given the tools to digest the protein so you get your money’s worth.

    So far, we’re loving this Bill Russell led company — and there’s more to come. Subscribe to our Magnum Nutraceuticals news so that you don’t miss the next drop:
