Protein powder in Cyprus ranges from about €1.60 to €13.70 per 100 g depending on where you buy it. That is not a small difference — the expensive end costs roughly eight times the cheap end for a product doing the same job. This page tracks what whey and other protein powders actually sell for across the Cypriot shops people already use, updated every morning from each retailer’s own storefront, so you can see the spread instead of guessing at it.
What protein powder costs in Cyprus right now
We read the public catalogues of ED Sport, Nutrition CY, Supplement House and VIP Supplements daily and normalise every listing to € per 100 g. That last step is the one that matters: a 2.3 kg sack and a 700 g tub are not comparable until you divide, and pack size is the easiest way for a headline price to look better than it is. Across 293 tracked protein listings the median works out around €4 per 100 g, which is a useful sanity line — if you are paying far above it, you are paying for something other than protein.
We list competitors alongside ourselves and do not weight the ranking. Where a Cypriot shop is cheaper, it appears above us.

Why the same protein costs eight times more at one shop than another
An eight-fold spread is not simply some shops overcharging. Most of it comes from four things worth separating out before you decide anything is a bargain.
Pack size. Bulk sacks almost always win on € per 100 g, and that is exactly what the per-100 g column exposes. The catch is honest: a 2.3 kg tub is only cheaper if you actually finish it while it is still fresh and you still like the flavour.
Protein percentage. A concentrate might be 70–80% protein by weight; an isolate is typically higher. Two tubs at the same € per 100 g of powder are not the same price per 100 g of protein. Our whey protein reviews score products on declared composition — protein density, transparency, additives, amino integrity — and never on price, precisely so you can hold the two apart.
What else is in the tub. Mass gainers and protein-fortified foods are much cheaper per 100 g than whey because most of the weight is carbohydrate. We deliberately exclude them from this table; if we did not, they would fill the top of it and the comparison would be worthless.
Brand and import route. Cyprus is an island market, and freight is a genuine cost. It is not customs, though — there is no duty and no import VAT on supplements ordered from another EU country. What raises island prices is shipping, not tax.
Reading the table without fooling yourself
Three habits make this data much more useful. First, compare the per 100 g column, not the price column — the cheapest tub on the shelf is very often the most expensive protein in the shop. Second, check stock status: we sort in-stock listings above cheaper out-of-stock ones, because a price you cannot buy is not really a price. Third, look at the 30-day low. If a listing is well above its own recent floor, it may simply be between promotions, and waiting a week costs nothing.
If you want to run the numbers on a specific tub — including cost per serving rather than per 100 g — the cost calculator does the arithmetic for you.
What protein actually does, in the words the EU allows
There are exactly three authorised claims for protein, and they are deliberately modest. Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass. Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. That is the full list, quoted as approved.
Everything beyond that — recovery windows, anabolic peaks, brand-specific promises — is marketing, and a great deal of it is attached to the expensive end of the table above. Total daily protein intake matters far more than which tub it came from, which is the honest reason a price comparison is worth more to most people than another opinion about timing.

Frequently asked questions
How much does protein powder cost in Cyprus?
Across the 293 listings we track at Cypriot retailers, protein powder ranges from about €1.60 to €13.70 per 100 g, with a median near €4. The table on this page is rebuilt every morning from each shop's own storefront, so it reflects current prices rather than an average from some past month.
Why do you compare price per 100 g instead of price per tub?
Because pack size is the easiest way for a headline price to mislead. A 2.3 kg sack and a 700 g tub are not comparable until you divide. Normalising to € per 100 g is what makes the cheapest tub on the shelf and the cheapest protein in the shop distinguishable — they are very often not the same product.
Will I pay customs or import charges on protein ordered from another EU country?
No. There is no customs duty and no import VAT on supplements ordered from another EU member state. What raises prices in an island market like Cyprus is freight cost, not tax.
Do you include mass gainers in the protein table?
No. Mass gainers and protein-fortified foods are much cheaper per 100 g because most of their weight is carbohydrate rather than protein. If we included them they would occupy the top of the table and the comparison would be worthless.
Does CapyFuel rank itself first in these tables?
No. The table is a straight sort on price per 100 g with in-stock listings placed above cheaper out-of-stock ones. Cypriot retailers appear above us whenever they are cheaper, and they frequently are. Ranking competitors honestly is the only reason a table like this is worth reading.
How often are these prices updated?
Every morning. A collector reads each retailer's public storefront, normalises every listing to € per 100 g, and reloads the table. The 30-day low column shows whether a listing is currently above its own recent floor.
