Lactomin 80 (Germany) - pay only for the protein, not for the can and the brand!
We answer frequently asked questions:
What is Lactomin 80?
This is whey protein concentrate, a natural protein (protein), obtained from the internationally recognized, best milk of German cows by the Lactoprot GmbH (Germany) concern, it is on the basis of this product that sports nutrition is produced.
What is the main advantage of Lactomin 80?
You do not overpay for the brand, for expensive and beautiful packaging, for paid advertising and for unnecessary chemicals to “improve” taste and appearance, such as defoamers, sugar substitutes, flavorings, etc.
Where do we get Lactomin 80 from?
We work with the official distributor, who are suppliers of these products to enterprises producing children's (including for infants) and sports nutrition (which is confirmed by a sanitary-epidemiological conclusion), confectionery and dairy products, which are subject to high quality requirements.
What does Lactomin 80 taste like?
The taste is neutral, has a hint of milk. This is an undeniable plus for those who are already tired of the sugary tastes of “canned” and “foreign” proteins and have had difficulty drinking them.
To improve the taste, you can add nesquik, sugar, syrups, fruits, honey, maltodextrin, etc. to the cocktail. They drink mostly skim milk (below 1.5%).
Lactomin 80 foams; maltodextrin or any sugar substitute can be used as a natural defoamer.
Can everyone use Lactomin 80?
You are healthy and do not have whey or lactose intolerance - YES.
Are proteins harmful?
No, unless you completely replace food with them and do not eat in huge quantities. Regular consumption of protein (protein) throughout the day in reasonable quantities has not harmed any healthy people.
All products have appropriate certificates and documents and are intended for human consumption and use as additives in food production.
If you have any diseases, definitely take protein only after consulting your doctor.
Among the “side” effects is improvement in the quality of skin, hair and nails.
How can you make sure that Lactomin 80 is truly a real protein?
1. You can pour boiling water over Lactomin 80 and stir, the protein should all coagulate.
2. You can “crunch” Lactomin 80 (crunches like snow): between your fingers, and in the bag, and in your mouth (between the palate and the tongue). “Released protein”, for example with milk powder, will not have as much crunch.
3. Speaking of curdling, you should know that high concentration milk protein (i.e. micellar casein) also curdles in boiling water, but DIFFERENTLY than whey.
4. Take some protein (protein) powder and try chewing it. The protein sticks very strongly to the teeth and gums. For example, ordinary flour turns into a runny mush.
5. You can submit your protein to a laboratory, but most laboratories can only do a microbiology test. Determining protein content is a lengthy procedure using a large list of reagents used, and such an analysis will cost at least 10 thousand rubles, so a complete analysis is carried out by a very limited number of laboratories.
Or maybe you “body” the protein?

Did you know that whey protein is used in the confectionery and dairy industries? And also in the production of dietary products and functional drinks? Yes, in the dairy industry, whey proteins are used for the production of processed cheeses, curd products, and fermented milk products. The use of whey protein concentrates in the production of fermented milk products makes it possible to improve the structure, reduce whey separation, enrich protein and increase the biological value of dairy products. By the way, whey proteins have found quite wide application in the production of natural soft and semi-hard cheeses.
The protein we offer is ideal in terms of its organoleptic characteristics, as well as its price/quality ratio.
Lactomin 80 (80% whey protein concentrate) is the “gold standard” of protein in the nutrition of athletes and people leading an active lifestyle, as well as those whose diet is not sufficiently enriched with protein products.
Lactomin 80 helps build lean muscle mass. No other protein is absorbed so easily and quickly by the human body. Within 60-90 minutes, amino acids allow the body to start the process of muscle protein synthesis. Moreover, whey protein supplies the body with special peptides that relax and dilate blood vessels, which allows you to increase blood flow to the muscles and quickly supply them with the amino acids that make up whey protein.
Whey proteins significantly reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels in the blood, preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. The low glycemic index of whey proteins optimizes the release of insulin, regulating blood glucose levels, thereby preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Lactomin 80 is the best whey protein in terms of its quality indicators. This is due to the fact that the production of Lactoprot Deutschland GmbH has a very large volume of incoming raw materials, which makes it possible to carry out a full processing cycle within a short time.
The sports nutrition store Caloria is the main partner of the Laktoprodut company in the south of Russia. Direct shipments from warehouses in St. Petersburg.
Composition and varieties of Lactomin 80
This whey protein consists of protein fractions:
- immunoglobulin;
- lactalbumin (milk protein);
- lactoferrin (multifunctional protein);
- lactoglobulin (whey milk protein);
- glycomacropeptides (biologically active substances).
These components are broken down at a high rate, favoring muscle tissue gain. Lactomin also contains amino acids identical to those found in muscle tissue.
About a seventh of all milk proteins is contained in the form of decomposition products, which initiate digestion and the synthesis of necessary enzymes and hormones.
Lactomin contains:
- 80% protein;
- 5% lactose;
- 6% fat;
- 4% minerals
- 5% moisture.
The primary protein needed for the restoration and development of muscle cells, and the immunoglobulin in its composition, help strengthen the body as a whole.
But it acquires special importance in the nutrition of athletes, who need protein daily for metabolic processes. It is found in all hard tissues, not only joints and muscles, but also hair, bones, and nails.
"Lactomin" is provided in varieties:
- "lactomin 80" - ultrafiltered regular;
- "lactomin 80LF" - lactose-free;
- "lactomin 80A" - instant version,
- "lactomin 80S" - from acid whey.
Has a natural sweetish taste. Soluble in different types of liquids: juice, dairy products, water.
Where to buy Lactomin 80?
Raw protein produced in Germany is almost impossible to find in the CIS. Most of the products on sale are counterfeits of Lactomin 80.
The low cost makes the supplement very popular and in demand. The ability to sell large volumes of the product made Lactomin 80 very attractive for producing an even cheaper counterfeit. Finding the original is quite difficult. In appearance, the almost complete identity of the packaging does not allow one to distinguish real raw protein from the one obtained under artisanal conditions.
Therefore, all that remains is to either find a trusted supplier or purchase more expensive protein supplements produced by well-known brands. Otherwise, the likelihood of buying a fake increases sharply.
How is Lactomin taken?
Protein intake should be carried out as prescribed by a sports doctor.
Depending on his recommendations, from 3 to 5 servings of 25-40 grams are consumed per day. When prescribing, doctors take into account a number of factors: body constitution, level of training, health, weight, goals. Correct intake is the key to positive changes in the body. It is very important to control the doses taken. When they are exceeded, a pathological excess occurs in the body:
- nicotinic acid;
- gland;
- sodium;
- magnesium;
- vitamin A.
Excessive concentrations of such substances are indicated by the following symptoms: malaise, nausea, stomach pain and even visual disturbances. Excess protein leads to a decrease in calcium levels in the body, which affects bone strength.
Time of use
The optimal time is morning and after training. Additionally, the product is used between meals (approximately in the middle of the time period), as well as one hour before the start of training. When taking lactomine, keep in mind that half of the protein in the body should come from eating regular food.
A cocktail based on Lactomin 80 can be prepared with the addition of various ingredients to give the desired taste:
- jam;
- bananas;
- strawberries;
- cocoa;
- honey;
- Sahara.
The product is absorbed within 40 minutes. Amino acids quickly activate the process of protein synthesis in muscles, relax and dilate blood vessels.
Creating a balanced diet requires some effort. It is important to consider the amount of physical activity individually. Depending on this, protein is prescribed to an adult from 1.3 g to 1.5 g per kilogram of weight. For athletes, 2 g is recommended.
Reception for gaining weight
Lactomin is recommended between meals to prevent protein deficiency. The mixture is diluted in 300-350 ml of milk.
To increase muscle mass in one go, take 30 grams of Lactomin 3-5 times a day:
- in the morning - to prevent the destruction of muscle tissue;
- 30 minutes before training - in order to restore muscle tissue;
- 15 minutes after the end of the workout - for the purpose of post-workout muscle recovery;
- shortly before bedtime - for a restorative purpose.
Reception for fat burning
A portion during the weight loss process is measured as half the standard dose (15-20 g). The prepared cocktail replaces one or two meals.
Thus, daily caloric intake is reduced by an average of 30%. Weight loss is ensured by protein acceleration of metabolism. When combined with sports, it ensures restoration of muscle mass, fit, and a slim figure.
Original and fake: how to avoid deception
A cheap Chinese analogue of the concentrate or milk powder may be presented as a counterfeit. The guarantee is provided by branded packaging, and even more so by purchasing the product in a specialized brand store. The label must indicate a whey protein content of 80%. The seller must present the license upon request.
How to spot fakes
Characteristic | Original | Fake |
Structure | Sticky dense | Loose, light, airy |
Color | Cream darkish | Lighter |
Dissolution in water | Foams | No foam |
Taste | Almost no taste, slight sweetness | Sweet |
Consistency | Stable | Floury |
You can understand that this is a protein (protein) in different ways:
- when diluted with boiling water, it coagulates and lumps appear;
- in the mouth, the powder sticks strongly to the palate and teeth;
- When shaken with water, abundant foam appears.
A counterfeit can also be determined by the price of the product being too low.
Prices
Officially, only 20-kilogram bags are supplied to Russia. They are made of multi-layer paper with a plastic bag inside. The package is stitched together with the bag. A different type of packaging may indicate a counterfeit. Shelf life – 2 years.
1 kg of “Lactomin 80” with 80 percent protein concentration costs 800 rubles. There are options with additives to improve the taste. They are more expensive, up to 1100 rubles. Compared to other popular brands, Laktomin 80 is almost half the price. And judging by the reviews, the quality is practically not inferior.
Low cost increases the popularity and demand of the product. This attracts scammers who, further reducing prices, produce a variety of fakes. They use almost identical packaging, which makes identification by appearance difficult.
The best guarantee of eliminating counterfeits is interaction with a trusted supplier.
Beware of scammers![edit | edit code]
Due to the low price and high protein content, the demand for lactomin is very high and scammers take advantage of this. Therefore, there are several recommendations that will help, to one degree or another, reduce the risk of purchasing low-quality raw materials.
- Firstly, you should buy raw materials from trusted sources or suppliers who work directly with the manufacturer without intermediaries or resellers.
- Secondly, if possible, purchase lactomin in a 15-20 kg bag. This is a standardized indicator of the weight of protein packaging from the factory for stores or other companies. You can also check the safety of the original packaging.
- Thirdly, the bag of lactomine consists of multi-layer paper, and inside there is a plastic bag, sealed and stitched together with the paper.

Analogues, disadvantages and contraindications
There is an analogue of Lactomin on the domestic market - Milei 80. The company has been dealing with dairy products for more than 30 years and has an international quality certificate. The product also contains 80% protein. The composition of the concentrates is similar. Other similar protein supplements: Nutri Whey 800F, Meggle MTM TJO 800, Hilmar 8000, etc. The difference between them is insignificant.
Among the disadvantages of Lactomin are:
- lack of diversity of manufacturing companies;
- sale only in large volumes (packages of 15-20 kg);
- Possibility of stomach upset if recommended dosages are exceeded.
Side effects are rare. Reasons: individual intolerance, inability to absorb lactose by the body, disturbance of intestinal microflora, allergy to milk protein, low quality of the product (counterfeit).
Exceeding dosages is accompanied by overload of the kidneys and liver.
Lactomin from Lactoprot and Rovita[edit | edit code]
Lactoprot and Rovita are factories that belong to the same person, the product (whey protein concentrate or protein) is called Lactomin 80, both in Rovita bags and Lactoprot bags, pay attention to this. Lactomin in bags labeled Laktoprot is the same in composition as in Rovita bags.
The only difference between the factories is that the Lactoprot factory specializes mainly in the production of caseinates, and Rovita specializes in whey proteins. Therefore, when Lactoprot does not have time to produce, lactomin is poured into Lactoprot bags at the Rovita plant. That is, Rovita and Lactoprot are the same.

Production of Lactomin
Raw protein is produced in Germany by Lactoprot from cow's milk using simple technology. It is based on the fermentation of milk followed by the separation of whey and curd mass. From the remaining greenish liquid, as a result of sifting through special microfilters, whey protein is obtained in its pure form, without the presence of chemical impurities.
For a kilogram portion of dry mixture, about 2 tons of milk are used. After all, a liter of it contains 2-3 grams of protein, 80% of which is casein and only 20% whey. The official dealer of the German company in Russia is St. Petersburg.
Composition[edit | edit code]
Composition of Lactomin
- Proteins: 80g
- Fat: 6g
- Carbohydrates (lactose): 5g
- Minerals: 4g
- Moisture: 5%
Lactomin 80 is lactoalbumin and lactoglobulin (two other milk proteins), these proteins contain more essential acids than casein. This affects the fact that the nutritional value index of whey proteins approaches one, while the nutritional value index of casein is lower and amounts to 0.8. This is mainly due to a slight deficiency of sulfur-containing amino acids in casein. But since whey proteins contain an excess of these amino acids, when casein and whey proteins are combined in milk, they complement each other. As a result, whey protein has strong anabolic properties, and the surge of amino acids in the blood is immediate, but not long-lasting.
