Quick delivery and very good quality of products. After a quite large order I expected some samples to try but it’s okay.

I ordered the vegan friendly vanilla protein powder close to Christmas. Never thought it would arrive before hand but it did! In perfect condition too. Very pleased. Thank you.

I bought the Sci-mx vegan protein…

I bought the Sci-mx vegan protein powder. I like the taste of the product however there is a but. When I opened the bag I found a piece of plastic in the bag. I nearly missed it and put it in my drink when my brother spotted it. If I were to have drank that I could have choked. I emailed them to inform them that there were bits of plastic in the bag. They were thankful and offered me a voucher to use on there website. They asked me what is the best email account for me to be reached on which is a weird question really seeing as they were having a back and fourth just fine on the email I was using. Anyway I sent them a reply saying which email to get me on and all of a sudden it is impossible to get through to them on there email. I keep getting a message saying email undeliverable. Basically feel tricked by them. Won't buy from them again.....

Good afternoon,

Thanks for your review.

To confirm I have sent you another email today however I have had no contact since I sent you the email you mention in this review.

The reason I asked for your email is so I can link the discount to your chosen email and some customers use more than one email address.

If you can please respond to my most recent email or give me a call on the details below.

Kind regards,
Adam

Resolved in the end.

After some difficulty connecting, I spoke with Adam who explained the situation and was able to resolve my query.
The review would be 5 stars but I've dropped a star as the CS process was a bit clunky.

SCI MX Total Mass (full of maltodextrin & Sweetener (sucralose)

Bought a SCI MX Total Mass £17.99 from B&M only to find out that they stack it up with Maltodextrin and Sweetener(sucralose). In the first few days I noticed the product is lumpy no matter how I shaked it. I thought it was normal at first but It happened day after day. To me the products seems off. I am not very happy with this purchase and would like to return your product and get a refund.

LETHAL DOSE of Caffeine

This company is now HIGHLY LIKELY to KILL someone. Just look at the other reviews for the quality. However, one of thier products has been recalled from sales because it contains more than a lethal dose of Caffeine in the recommended daily serving. The product itself isn't clear at all that there is even caffeine in it. I can only find images of the front of the packaging. They have taken the item off of their website but nowhere on the website have they publicised warning people of the dangers of their product. So they literally don't care if someone dies, they will just do whatever is necessary to save their reputation. Which is why everyone needs to see this review. I hope anyone who is ill makes a full recovery and gets the compensation they deserve for the gross negligence shown by Sci Mx.

Hi Jack,

Thanks for taking the time to write us a review.

I have tried to look for some contact details so I can give you call personally but none have been provided. I will send you a link to complete.

It is correct that we have issued an urgent product recall on the SCI-MX Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour 1.5kg (batches: W110429, W110430, W110431), due to excessive caffeine levels posing a potentially serious food safety risk in these specific batches. Please note that this was not a recall for the product generally, only for these specific batches; the product was not designed with the amount of caffeine contained in these specific batches.

On discovery of the caffeine contamination issue following batch testing, we immediately alerted the UK Food Standards Agency. We have also issued an urgent product recall message via all our business to customer and internal business to business communication channels.

The following web page https://sci-mx.co.uk/pages/product-recall has been set up for customers to contact us if they have purchased an affected batch of the SCI-MX Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour 1.5kg. You can also find the product recall message on our Sci-Mx home page and social channels.

Our customer’s wellbeing is our number one priority, and we’ve continued to work with the FSA and the retailer to locate and obtain the affected products so they are no longer in circulation.

We deeply regret the incident and sincerely apologise to all our customers. Whilst we believe the incident is isolated and limited only to the specific batches mentioned above, we will be rigorously reviewing the incident and our processes to ensure we retain the trust and confidence of our consumers. We continue to liaise with the UK Food Standards Agency in relation to the recall, and further information has been made available from the FSA at https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts.

If you know of anyone else who has purchased an affected batch of the SCI-MX Ultra Muscle Strawberry Flavour 1.5kg, please follow the below steps:

1. Check if you have bought from one of the affected batches:
1. Batch Number: W110429
2. Batch Number: W110430
3. Batch Number: W110431
2. If you have bought an affected product as detailed above, DO NOT CONSUME IT.
3. Please go to the following page to contact us: https://sci-mx.co.uk/pages/product-recall

Should you wish us to give me a call in the meantime please call 0330 024 2323 and ask for Adam.

Many Thanks,
The Sci-Mx Team

Vanilla Diet shake - watery and overly sweet

Bought a 1kg bag of the Vanilla diet shake meal replacement from Home Bargains. I have tried several different brands previously and usually buy Exante shakes but thought at £14.99 a bag, it was worth a shot. It is absolutely disgusting! It’s watery and overly sweet. Thank god I didn’t pay full price from their website …

Not halal

I was said by my friend the product “Total Protein” was good so I bought it, as it’s vegetarian but eventually when I called them they said it isn’t halal. As much as you guy’s mentioned vegetarian please do mention it’s not halal too.

I think I must have got a real bargain

I think I must have got a real bargain, because I managed to buy the 2.2Kg bag of PRO V-GAIN™ PROTEIN - Salted Caramel flavour, for a mere £17! It costs £54 on the Sci-Mx website, so I'll be off quick smart, back to Home Bargains to get stocked up.

It was my first time trying any Sci-Mx, product and always gone with Whey protein in the past. But, the vegetarian protein powder is excellent, great tasting, easy to mix in a shaker and doesn't have lumps in after a good shaking, has all the ingredients and supplements I require, and I'll definitely trying their other products.

I haven't ordered specifically from this company however I do use Sci mx protein powder and I can honestly say it definitely does what it says on the package, I mix with 250ml of water and it mixes really well no lumps, it's sweet but not too sweet I get the chocolate brownie and it goes down a treat all in all great products

This company is a joke.

All these positive reviews must have really been paid for!

Order confirmation email - 15th of November. I’m writing this review 15 days later and still haven’t got anything from them although their website states 3-5 days delivery time. Items not even dispatched yet.

Was sceptical at first seeing all the communication issues in all the negative reviews here and there, but thought I won’t be the lucky one. Well, lucky me.

Tried to contact them numerous times. Through email, through online forms, etc., no answer - nothing.

This is a joke and I’ll make everything sure to refer the case to the appropriate authorities. Not just mine. For all of you guys. Thanks.

EDIT:
Feedback on your feedback:

Date of payment on my current account app - Monday, 15th of November 2021. Same date as the order confirmation email arrived. Your colleague actually contacted me on 17th of November, saying that my order has been flagged without any real reason as all my addresses everywhere match. Well that I answered on 17th as well, confirming the order and address as requested by the email.

Contacted you again by the same support email on 20th. Then again through your web contact form on 23-4th. If I could attach screenshots, I’d be more than happy to, so u can stop misleading your customers with words like “we don’t”, cuz u obviously do.

It’s pity that one has to write a deeply negative review in order to get your attention somehow.

I really hope the order will arrive soon cuz I did my part of the deal, it’s about time to see you doing yours.

Will update the review on order arrival so everyone can be aware what they can really expect from SCI-MX.

Thank you for your reply. Finally.

EDIT2:

Order arrived yesterday /1st of December/. Thank you.

Good afternoon,

Thanks for taking the time to write us a review and I am sorry to hear of this.

I have looked for the mentioned correspondence and am unable to locate anything. All queries are answered and we don't ignore any of our customers.

I can see that my colleague has emailed you shortly after you placed your order (17th November) as your order has been flagged by our system.

I have rectified this for you and the order will be with you very soon.

Please can you give me a call on 0330 024 2323.

Kind regards,
Sci-Mx.
