Why it works
Hitting a daily protein target is the hard part. Whole-food meals can carry a lot of fat and sugar alongside the protein you actually want, which makes it harder to keep total energy where you plan it.
Nitro-Tech Ripped concentrates the protein. Each scoop supplies 30 g of dairy protein from a blend of whey concentrate, whey isolate and hydrolysed whey, while keeping fat to 2.8 g and sugar to 3.4 g. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass [1].
The amino acid profile is printed on the panel. Every serve carries 20.3 g of naturally occurring essential amino acids, including 9.3 g of BCAAs and 4.4 g of leucine — all sourced from the whey, not spiked separately.
A straightforward, high-protein shake you can build a daily intake around.

How many servings are in the 4 lb tub?
The 4 lb (1.84 kg) tub holds approximately 43 servings, based on a 43 g scoop. Serving count can vary slightly depending on how level you keep each scoop and on small flavour-to-flavour differences in the powder.
Does it contain any allergens?
Yes. Nitro-Tech Ripped contains Milk and Soy, and may contain eggs. It is made on equipment that also processes wheat, egg, tree nut, peanut, fish and shellfish ingredients, so it is not suitable for anyone with those allergies.
How do I mix it?
One level 43 g scoop in cold water. Add it to about 235 ml of cold water, then shake for 10–15 seconds until smooth. You can use more or less water to dial in the thickness, or blend it into a smoothie if you prefer.
When is the best time to take it?
There is no required timing — Nitro-Tech Ripped is a protein supplement you can use at any point in the day. Many people have a shake after training or between meals to help reach their daily protein target.
What flavours does the 4 lb come in?
The current 4 lb tub is available in Milk Chocolate and French Vanilla Bean. Both carry 30 g of protein per scoop; the nutrition panel shown here is for Milk Chocolate, with small variations by flavour.
Is it suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
It is suitable for most vegetarians, as whey is a dairy-derived protein. It is not suitable for vegans, because whey comes from milk. It also contains soy and may contain eggs.
Is this a meal replacement?
No. Nitro-Tech Ripped is a protein supplement designed to complement a balanced diet, not to replace meals. Use it alongside whole foods and regular exercise as part of your overall nutrition plan.
