How the numbers stack up against the price

£1.16 buys 25g of protein here, which makes it the 12th cheapest of the 24 powders we have reviewed, behind PER4M Nutrition Isolate Zero at £1.15, and 6p over the median.

Two things deserve a closer look before you buy. Its sugar content, 12.2g per 100g, is roughly four times that of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard and the highest in this batch. And its serving is a 50g double scoop, so the "36g protein" on the front of the tub is not comparable to a competitor’s 24g without adjusting for that.

What the label gets right, and wrong

Strengths

Manufactured in the UK, at KBF’s Trafford Park facility in Manchester
Halal certified
Sits at the budget end of the UK market on cost per gram of protein
Two independent retailers publish identical nutrition panels, so the figures are unusually well corroborated

Watch-outs

Sugar at 12.2g per 100g is the highest in this batch, roughly four times Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard
The 50g serving is double the market norm, which inflates the front-of-pack protein number
Marketing describes a soy-free isolate and hydrolysate blend; the ingredient list says concentrate, milk protein and soy lecithin
"Third-party tested" is stated without naming a testing body

Where to buy it

Ordered by cost per 25g of protein, because pack sizes and protein densities differ enough that a headline price on its own does not tell you which is better value.

What a scoop actually contains

Taken from the manufacturer’s published label. Source.

Warrior uses a 50g two-scoop serving, which is double most of the market, so its headline "36g protein" is not comparable to a rival’s 24g without adjusting for scoop size. Two independent retailers agree on 17.8g per 25g and 35.6g per 50g, both resolving to 71.2g per 100g. No salt figure is published.

Third-party testing

Certification is per programme and often per flavour or per batch, so a badge on one product does not carry across a brand’s whole range.

Informed Sport / Informed ChoiceNo evidence found

Warrior describes the product as "third-party tested" without naming a testing body, and we found no entry in either the Informed Sport or Informed Choice databases.

Made by

KBF Enterprises, Trafford Park, ManchesterKBF also owns the retailer Bodybuilding Warehouse, so treat that retailer’s product copy as first-party marketing rather than independent.

What the maker does not publish

Warrior’s own site did not return a readable nutrition panel, so the figures here come from retailer reproductions.
The soy-free claim could not be verified and is contradicted by the ingredient list we found.
No salt content is published anywhere we could find, and a sodium figure of zero on one retailer listing is not credible for a product containing milk protein.

Questions buyers ask

The things people search for about Warrior Whey, answered from the label and the live partner prices rather than from the brand’s own copy.

How much protein is in Warrior Whey?

71.2g per 100g. The tub advertises 36g of protein per serving, but that is a 50g double scoop, so compare it against a rival’s per-100g figure rather than its per-serving one.

Why does Warrior Whey have so much sugar?

At 12.2g per 100g it is the highest in this batch. That is consistent with a concentrate and milk protein blend, which retains more lactose than an isolate. On a 50g serving that is about 6.1g of sugar.

Is Warrior Whey made in the UK?

Yes. Warrior is a brand of KBF Enterprises, which manufactures at a 50,000 square foot facility in Trafford Park, Manchester.

Is Warrior Whey soy free?

No. The ingredient list reproduced by three independent retailers includes soy lecithin at 0.4%, even though some Warrior marketing describes the product as soy free.
