Applied Nutrition Prices in Malta: Every Listing Compared

Applied Nutrition is the one brand we track in Malta with real shelf depth: 30 listings across 2 retailers, spanning whey, creatine, an amino product and a pre-workout — not just a tub or two. Prices run from about €2.75 to €14.20 per 100 g, but that range spans four different product categories, not one, so this page keeps them separate rather than letting a single headline number blur what you are actually comparing. Rebuilt every morning from the retailers’ own storefronts.

Applied Nutrition prices in Malta right now

We track 30 Applied Nutrition listings across 2 Maltese retailers — Malta Elite Supplements and Supplemented Malta — normalised to € per 100 g. Whey and protein make up most of the range at 23 listings; creatine, an amino product and a pre-workout make up the rest. We do not exclude the brand’s own Plant Protein or Casein lines from the whey table below — this page is every Applied Nutrition listing we track, not only the dairy-whey ones, so they are shown and labelled rather than left out.

Whey & protein: 23 listings, and not all of it is whey

The cheapest row here, Critical Whey at €2.75 per 100 g, is genuine dairy whey and sits close to the cheapest whey we track from any brand in Malta. But look at what sits directly above and below it: Critical Plant Protein (two pack sizes) and Casein Protein and Micellar Casein are Applied Nutrition products too, carry a similar € per 100 g, and are not whey — a plant-based protein and a slow-digesting dairy protein sold for a different purpose. If you specifically want whey, read from the cheapest line labelled Critical Whey or ISO-XP down, not from the top of the table blind.

Past the plant and casein rows, the small 132 g Critical Whey pouches cluster around €4.54, the nine ISO-XP 100% Whey Protein Isolate flavours all land at exactly €5.46 per 100 g (same 1 kg tub, different flavour, identical price), and Clear Whey Protein sits at the top of the range at €6.17 — lighter on protein per 100 g than a standard whey, which is the measure working correctly rather than a markup. For the full local whey market, including every other brand, see our Malta protein powder comparison.

Creatine: 4 listings, almost entirely monohydrate

Plain Creatine Monohydrate is the cheapest of the four at €8.00 per 100 g. Creatine + Hydration and Creatine Monohydrate + Peptide are blends — monohydrate plus added ingredients — and both cost close to €9.65, which buys the extras rather than more creatine. The Flavoured Creatine Monohydrate tops the range at €14.20, in the smallest pack size of the four; flavouring and a small tub, not a different compound, explain the gap. For the plain-monohydrate case across every brand we track, see the Malta creatine comparison.

Amino acids and pre-workout: two single listings, not a range

BCAA Amino Hydrate, at €4.29 per 100 g in a large 1.4 kg tub, is a genuine branched-chain amino product. AAKG, at €6.33, is arginine alpha-ketoglutarate — an ingredient sold for blood flow and pump, not an essential amino acid or BCAA blend, despite sitting in the same tracked category. Treat these as two separate products rather than a “cheap versus expensive amino” comparison; our EAA and BCAA guide explains the difference properly.

Applied Nutrition’s Malta shelf carries one pre-workout, ABE, at €8.80 per 100 g — close to the median of every pre-workout we track on the island. One listing is a data point, not a range, so we are not going to manufacture a “spread” that does not exist here.

Is Applied Nutrition worth it?

On whey specifically, its cheapest genuine listing is competitive with the cheapest whey from any brand we track in Malta — not a premium price. What you are choosing between is mostly pack size and format (concentrate, isolate, clear whey) rather than one brand being expensive and another cheap. On creatine, plain monohydrate at €8.00 sits above the cheapest monohydrate on the island, which our Malta creatine comparison shows sells for close to €3. Whatever you buy, the authorised wording is identical everywhere: protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass, to the maintenance of muscle mass, and to the maintenance of normal bones; creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, and the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine. No brand earns those more strongly by costing more.

If you want to judge a tub on what it declares rather than on the brand name, our whey protein reviews score products on protein density, transparency, additives and amino integrity — never on price.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Applied Nutrition cost in Malta?

Across the 30 Applied Nutrition listings we track at two Maltese retailers, prices run from about €2.75 to €14.20 per 100 g. That range spans whey, creatine, an amino product and a pre-workout, so it is not a like-for-like comparison on its own — see each category table on this page for the real spread within it.

Is every Applied Nutrition listing in the whey table actually whey?

No, and we show the full range rather than trimming it. Critical Plant Protein and Casein Protein are Applied Nutrition products too, sit at a similar € per 100 g to the cheapest whey, and are not whey — a plant-based protein and a slow-digesting dairy protein sold for different purposes. The cheapest genuine dairy whey in their range is Critical Whey at about €2.75 per 100 g.

Is Applied Nutrition's creatine all the same thing?

Mostly. Plain Creatine Monohydrate is the cheapest of their four creatine listings at €8.00 per 100 g. Two listings are monohydrate blended with other ingredients (added hydration or a peptide), and one is a small flavoured pack at €14.20 — pack size and additions explain the gap, not a different core compound.

Is Applied Nutrition's AAKG the same thing as their BCAA product?

No. BCAA Amino Hydrate is a genuine branched-chain amino product. AAKG is arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, an ingredient sold for blood flow and pump rather than as an essential amino acid or BCAA blend — despite both being tracked in the same amino-acid category.

Does Applied Nutrition have more than one pre-workout in Malta?

Not currently. We track one listing, ABE, at about €8.80 per 100 g, close to the island-wide median for pre-workout. One listing is a data point, not a range.

Is Applied Nutrition cheaper or more expensive than other brands?

On whey, its cheapest genuine listing is competitive with the cheapest whey from any brand we track in Malta. On creatine, its plain monohydrate costs more than the cheapest monohydrate on the island. See the full Malta protein powder and creatine comparisons for the complete picture across every brand.

Is CapyFuel affiliated with Applied Nutrition?

No. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or a reseller of the brand. This is an independent comparison compiled from Maltese retailers' own public storefronts, and the outbound links are unpaid.
