MuscleTech Nitro-Tech is a whey-protein-isolate powder made by MuscleTech (Iovate Health Sciences) that delivers 30g of protein, 6.8g of BCAAs and 3g of creatine monohydrate in every 45g scoop. The 1.8kg tub holds 40 servings and is sold in four flavours — Triple Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Cookies & Cream — through Xplosiv in New Zealand.
30g protein, plus creatine, in every scoop
A whey isolate and peptide formula with 3g of added creatine and 6.8g of BCAAs per serve — built to support muscle recovery and growth alongside your training.
Protein with the extras built in
One scoop, three jobs. Most whey powders give you protein and stop there. Nitro-Tech pairs 30g of fast-digesting whey isolate and peptides with 3g of creatine monohydrate and 6.8g of BCAAs — so the protein for repair, the leucine that helps trigger muscle protein synthesis, and the creatine for strength work all arrive in the same shake.
Dosed for recovery. Each serve carries 3.3g of leucine — above the threshold typically used to stimulate muscle protein synthesis — plus 1.8g isoleucine and 1.7g valine. The 3g creatine monohydrate is a daily maintenance dose shown to support strength and power output during resistance training [1].

How much protein is in one scoop?
Each 45g scoop of Nitro-Tech provides 30g of protein from a whey isolate and peptide blend, plus a little whey concentrate. The same scoop also delivers 6.8g of BCAAs and 3g of creatine, with 3g of carbs and 2.5g of fat at 150 calories.
What is creatine monohydrate and why is it in here?
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most-researched sports nutrition ingredients. Nitro-Tech adds 3g per scoop — a daily maintenance dose that supports strength and power output during resistance training, so you get protein and creatine together in one shake rather than buying them separately.
When should I take it?
A common time is straight after training, when a fast-digesting whey supports muscle recovery. It also works any time you need to top up protein — with breakfast, between meals, or before bed. One to two servings a day suits most people depending on their total protein target.
Does it contain allergens?
Yes. Nitro-Tech contains milk and soy ingredients, and is made on equipment that also processes wheat, egg, tree nut, peanut, fish and shellfish. It is not suitable for anyone with a dairy or soy allergy, or for vegans. It is sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame-potassium.
What flavours does the 1.8kg tub come in?
The 1.8kg Nitro-Tech tub is available in Triple Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Cookies & Cream. Each tub holds about 40 servings. Nutrition figures vary slightly between flavours, but every flavour carries the same 30g protein, 6.8g BCAA and 3g creatine profile.
Is it a pure whey isolate?
The primary source is whey protein isolate plus hydrolysed whey peptides, with some whey protein concentrate. That blend keeps it fast-digesting and high in protein at 30g per scoop, while staying low in carbs (3g) and fat (2.5g) for a 150-calorie serve.
Dietary supplement — not a medicine. Always read the label and use as directed. A protein supplement should support, not replace, a balanced and varied diet.
Allergen: Contains milk and soy. Made on equipment that also processes wheat, egg, tree nut, peanut, fish and shellfish.
