Although there is currently no substantiated and scientifically proven information about the superiority of complex protein mixtures over standard whey protein, Syntrax matrix, which includes several purified proteins, is considered one of the most effective and safe in the world of sports nutrition.
Features of Matrix protein
Here it is worth dwelling on the features of individual components. The Matrix contains a mixture that includes whey protein, micellar casein and egg albumin.
- Whey protein is known for its ability to quickly supply amino acids to muscles when they are needed most. The rate of supply of amino acids from whey is approximately half an hour. Thus, it is an indispensable component for use after training, allowing you to quickly restore muscles and prevent an increase in cortisol levels, that is, prevent catabolism.
- Micellar casein consists of micelles that are able to attract and gather into a clot, providing a long-term release of amino acids. Casein micelles ensure the breakdown of amino acids from 8 to 12 hours. This component protects muscles from destruction during sleep and after exercise, constantly feeding the muscles with building material. This is what is often missing from regular whey proteins. But unlike pure casein, Matrix begins to act twice as fast.
- Egg albumin is the most bioavailable and easily digestible protein, which is absorbed almost completely by the body. As the only component in protein supplements, it will cost more, so purchasing egg protein is not very profitable. Egg albumin contains a wide amino acid complex.

Serichenko Nikolay Alexandrovich rated the product 10 17.07.2021 12:10 | A very good multi-component protein, the gastrointestinal tract does not cause disruptions even with daily consumption of 8 scoops. I tried chocolate, cookies-cream, vanilla, I didn’t take fruit ones (I just don’t like them), very good taste, easy to mix, excellent taste even with water in the ratio of two scoops of 300-350 ml. water. Working protein. The best price-quality ratio. <Igor Davydov, expert 5lb> 17.07.2021 14:35 Good afternoon. We are glad that you liked our product. Contact us again. |

Zhenya rated the product 10 9.03.2021 13:34 | Chocolate is very tasty, the result is there. “Easy dissolution” is, of course, nonsense; you still have to shake it in a shaker. <Igor Davydov, expert 5lb> 10.03.2021 12:26 Good afternoon. Good, quality product. Price-quality, thanks for the good review. I recommend trying the cookie flavor. <Zhenya> 27.04.2021 00:37 I tried it with cookies... but I still like chocolate better. The cookies are too watery if mixed in water. But with yogurt it’s fire. |

Spider hunter rated the product 9 20.01.2020 14:05 | One of my first proteins, after Vader 80. There are no complaints about the organoleptic properties, only because of the cloying quality it gets boring, like any protein powder)) however, what was my surprise when I compared this multi-component and the concentrate from SAN, in terms of the composition of the BJU they are identical, in and to the profile too, well, except that there is more glutamine in the concentrate. If there is no difference, why pay more... The only question is where does it contain 7 more amino acids???? |

Rasul rated the product 5 24.11.2019 01:21 | I haven’t found any multicomponent proteins on the market at the moment, I had to choose from what was available. I chose this brand because of price, quality and popularity; it was the first “multi-component” protein that I bought. Firstly, the composition of this protein does not resemble a multi-component one, basically one whey, cheap, simple and fast, although I need an average digestibility value. Next comes milk protein, which also consists of 80% whey and only 20% casein, then wheat gluten, also known as soy protein, which is probably not surprising, and in last place, i.e. literally three percent egg white. Secondly, after mixing with milk, the protein turns into some kind of mucus. In general, there are only disappointments so far. The first taste, despite the bad reviews, took mint cookies, the taste was pleasant, it drank well, I didn’t notice any chemicals. The second taste was peanut butter, there was no choice so I bought it, the taste was “what was expected”, I finished it with difficulty, I never liked peanut butter. The last taste was milk chocolate, the taste was terrible: on the one hand, cloying, on the other, somehow salty (I didn’t understand why), I expected something completely different, at least from this brand. I can’t say whether the protein works well or not; the assessment would be very inaccurate. I won’t buy Matrix again, there are better brands. <Max> 25.11.2019 19:54 Yes, and much more expensive at the same time. For the money the quality is more than good <Igor> 5.12.2019 08:30 I bought it in the USA in an online store - the price was $53 (it’s not clear why it’s cheaper in Moscow). The taste is chocolate. Mixes well and does not foam. <Hmmm> 18.02.2020 01:33 Oh, useful review. There is unfinished milk chocolate in the cupboard. In short, I’m telling the truth - all proteins are tasteless, because where does the taste come from, fat and coals are minimal. So if you find a really tasty prot, then there’s probably too much coal. Delicious cannot be shorter. There are terrible tastes and tolerable ones. If you want something tasty, drink a gainer with milk, but that’s a completely different story. |

Anastasia rated the product 5 29.09.2019 18:27 | I tried the 'orange' flavor, which actually turned out to be 'orange cream'. That is, I was hoping for fresh sourness, but I got the same thing that makes me sick the first time and doesn’t want it anymore. Yes, maybe this is a personal perception, but I give it a low rating because it is disgusting to mix in a shaker, even if you run around with it for half an hour. Such disgusting soft-slimy lumps... it doesn’t look like ordinary protein, some kind of impurity. There are unusual stains on the walls of the shaker, very obvious and difficult to wash off. I can’t bring myself to drink it, it’s a shame. <Andrey Alexandrovich> 14.01.2020 14:45 I completely agree, the taste of orange is nauseating, don’t take it! Milk chocolate is nice, similar to Nesquik |

Sergey rated the product 10 9.09.2019 13:21 | In terms of action, there is no difference from the old one (in white cans). New, in purple jars, it feels like it has become even more “coarsely ground”, and this is good - fine dust does not fly when poured, it dissolves better. No problems with digestibility (although I don’t eat buckets of it, but 4 scoops a day is no problem) <Sergey> 9.09.2019 13:23 Yes, I forgot to say - I’m talking about “cookies”. I used to take others too, to try, but there is an unpleasant fine dust, the solubility is worse and the taste quickly gets boring, you force yourself to drink. And the “cookies” can be drunk for a very long time without any problems. |

Dr. Livesey rated the product 9 30.08.2019 09:15 | I tried three flavors: chocolate, cookies-cream, banana cream. The first two are very tasty, perhaps even a little too much, because... I added an extra scoop and quickly ate it. About stirring: at room temperature, all three mix very well, there are no lumps. And if you take, for example, milk from the refrigerator, then of the three flavors, banana cream is best placed. About the main function of protein: it works well, restores muscles, results improve. |

Al rated the product 4 13.08.2019 11:53 | Having read good reviews about the divine taste, on the same day I went and bought the “Cookie-Cream” flavor. Perhaps this was the biggest mistake of my life: it’s impossible to drink with water, and even more or less with milk if you eat something. Tastes like raw potatoes with a chemical aftertaste. I’m not picky myself, and the expiration date seems to be fine, I don’t know why, but it’s just disgusting. Maybe some kind of marriage, because I don’t believe that you can drink this <Olesya> 21.08.2019 14:32 Perhaps this is the taste, I haven’t tried anything other than strawberry yet, but it is strawberry that has taken pride of place in the list of my favorites from the sports nutrition series |

Proteinist rated the product 10 6.08.2019 08:43 | The protein I was looking for. I like the floury consistency. I took a banana because I only like banana flavored ones. I can’t stand fucking chocolates and cookie creams (too sugary)! Reminds me a lot of Probolic-SR with banana flavor and Whey Complex Plus (Sci-Fit). So, I’ve been buying proteins since 2009, I’ve tried almost everything. This one has become a favorite. |

AlexanderG rated the product 10 9.07.2019 12:16 | Milk chocolate tastes good. I took a small jar to try. I will buy more. There are no problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Everyone already knows everything, I won’t describe it. But I read the reviews and was surprised. I don’t have any foam, and it mixes great. Even just with a spoon in a glass of cold milk. I first pour the protein, then a finger's width of water or milk, mix it into the slurry with a spoon so that there is no dry matter, add a full glass and stir for a minute. It dissolves almost 100% - a clean spoon, a clean glass at the bottom, no lumps float up, etc. There aren't any. If you do the opposite, pour the protein into liquid, then of course it will not dissolve so well. <AlexanderG> 20.07.2019 02:07 Milk chocolate tastes good, but perfect chocolate is even better. |

Ulanov Roman Nikolaevich 3 years of experience rated the product 9 15.12.2018 11:39 | The taste is probably one of the best I've ever drunk. When I opened it, there was almost no smell, a light chocolate tint. I threw it into a shaker, it mixes like regular protein, I didn’t notice any “faster than usual” ones. After the first sip, I realized that I would finish this product to the end, without any effort) I mean the pack as a whole. After taking it, I felt slightly full, went to bed, my gastrointestinal tract was normal. Definitely a multi-component protein that deserves its popularity. On the downside, I would include the packaging, but it’s as if I knew what I was getting into when ordering. So there can be no questions about this, I’ll pour it into a Maxler jar when I finish it. |

Denis rated the product 6 21.10.2018 09:29 | It's good that I took a 900-gram jar... I would have probably run out already. The taste of mint cookies is a little boring. It dissolves normally in water, crumbs dangle, like cookies, that’s the manufacturer’s idea. The first two times it was interesting - the original mint taste, but now I can’t wait for it to end - it feels like diluted lime or chalk with sugar. According to the stomach reaction, it seems to be normal. There is a slight “burlesque” after 10-15 minutes, then it subsides. My body digests nails, it’s fine for me, but I think this product may cause rejection in the “quivering doe”. Hint for home: blends well in a blender (mixed with 0.5% parmalate and a couple of pieces of ice). The result is a dense, thick texture, the taste of chalk disappears, and it becomes like melted mint ice cream. I give it a 6 for the quality of the ingredients. |

Nikita rated the product 9 27.09.2018 10:03 | Great protein! When compared with maxler and ultimate nutrition, it wins. The taste is not bad with milk, but it will be worse with water. Sometimes it doesn’t dissolve very well, so you should fill it with something in advance, and not right before use. It is also worth saying about how it is absorbed: there are no complaints, I have not observed any problems with the gastrointestinal tract. I recommend it to everyone, 9/10 |

I liked the chocolate one better, it dissolves much better in water and milk, it doesn’t foam much, although I’m not a fan of this taste. Strong vanilla produces a lot of foam if you stir it in a shaker, so I stir it with a spoon, and it dissolves like hell in the milk. Will try other flavors. |

lemar rated the product 10 8.08.2018 12:27 | Like many people, vanilla produces a lot of foam and doesn’t fit well. Therefore, chocolate is no problem. The peppermint cookies don't taste bad, but there is some crumble in there - maybe a cookie?. Pay attention to the number of servings per package - the spoon for these cookies is almost twice as large, which turns out to be much more expensive in terms of servings. I drink Whey after training, Trophix at night, Matrix? in the morning. |

- Calories – 150 kcal.
- Proteins – 25 g.
- Carbohydrates – 1.5 g.
- Fats – 1 g.
- BCAA – 7 g.
Also in 100 grams of Matrix there is a complex of amino acids consisting of:
- Arginine - 2.5 g.

The dietary supplement is based on a protein formula, which has replaced all powders made from low-grade raw materials from sports nutrition. She left the use of denatured Na+ or Ca++ caseinate in the past and introduced the most filtered milk or whey protein into production. In addition, the complex may contain egg albumin and glutamine peptide chains. All this made it possible to achieve not just a local increase in muscle mass, but also improve the health of the entire body.
Today Syntrax matrix is a protein complex of three components:
- Whey protein.
- Micellar casein.
- Albumin from egg whites.
In general, the idea of combining proteins was born from the fact that each protein individually has its own pros and cons, and together they form the gold standard source of protein. For example, egg albumin contains many micronutrients and is a growth factor (i.e., a protein that works as a growth stimulant (mitogen) and/or growth inhibitor), but is also expensive. Whey is a source of quickly digestible protein and simulates immunity. Casein, on the contrary, is metabolized slowly, which guarantees muscle nutrition for a long time. The protein complex becomes a concentrate of positive properties and minimizes negative qualities.
Now, about the composition. A 30 g serving of the complex contains:
- Squirrel – 25 g.
- Carbohydrates – 1.5 g.
- Fat - about a gram.
Moreover, unlike the reference Synth, the dietary supplement contains only 150 kcal instead of 200. This is closer to an isolate than to a standard protein. Additionally, the complex includes 7 g of BCAA in a ratio of 2:1:1, while the upper limit of normal BCAA in other preparations is 4 g. There are other useful substances in small quantities.
Pros of Matrix protein
- The protein is made from high quality raw materials, without cheap or synthetic additives.
- The complex incorporates the best types of protein from milk, whey and eggs.
- Relatively low price.
- The matrix, at one time, is quickly broken down into amino acids thanks to whey and egg proteins, at another time it is released for a long time thanks to micellar casein.
- Contains little fat and carbohydrates compared to similar complex proteins. This allows the product to be taken by those people who are watching their weight and working on muscle definition.
- Despite the fact that this is a complex product, its composition is close to the isolates of many competitors.
- Also contains glutamine peptides.
- The matrix is undergoing clinical trials.
How to take Matrix protein
When gaining muscle mass:
- Take protein in the morning, after your main meal, if you need an additional source of protein.
- Two hours before training, so that the components have time to be partially absorbed and do not cause discomfort during exercise, or immediately after training.
- And the last portion before bed.
1 measuring cup of powder can be diluted with water, milk, juice, with a volume of 200-250 ml, depending on the required consistency.
Do not exceed protein intake more than 3 servings per day.
When training for terrain, consume protein in water. Two servings per day are enough:
- before or after training;
- and at night.
On rest days, you can take the protein in the morning.
Admission rules
Experts recommend taking one serving (measuring spoon) in the morning, the second after exercise, and the third before bed. The powder can be dissolved in a glass of any liquid. If we are talking about gaining muscle mass, then you should take protein before bed. Or a couple of hours before training instead of whey. After exercise, fast protein is more beneficial. There is another option for taking the complex: for a long time without eating, 30 g of the complex will solve this problem.
For weight loss, the scheme is almost the same, but the portions themselves are half as large, and regardless of the availability of food, the complex replaces two meals.
You can buy the drug on the manufacturer's website. This is the best guarantee of quality and price.
Matrix analogs
The matrix can be compared with its competitor - complex protein BSN Syntha 6. Of course, BSN has more protein sources, but among them there are egg albumin, micellar casein, and whey protein. But, despite the fact that Synthe contains whey isolate and concentrate, the Matrix is more similar in composition to isolated protein. One serving of Cinta contains 200 kcal, as much as 18 carbohydrates and 6 g of fat.
