> Evox is a mid-priced South African sports nutrition brand sold mainly through Dis-Chem. Its 100% Whey Advanced costs R670 for 908 g (about R738 per kg, October 2026), in line with USN and NPL on price per kg, but its product pages publish little: no certification, mostly image-only nutrition tables, and no ownership or founding details in the sources we checked.

Key facts:
- Evox 100% Whey Advanced is R670 for 908 g (about R738 per kg), October 2026; the Dis-Chem page gives no scoop weight.
- Evox sells mainly through Dis-Chem; the brand site links to Dis-Chem Living Fit.
- No third-party certification is stated on the Evox pages we read; ownership and founding date are not published in our sources.
- Evox Alpha 5XL Mass Gainer 4 kg is R540 at Dis-Chem Living Fit.

## Is Evox a good supplement brand in South Africa?

Evox is a local brand with a broad range and mid-market prices. What we can say is limited by what the brand and its retailer publish. Prices are October 2026.

## What does Evox sell?

| Product | Size and price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 100% Whey Protein Advanced | 908 g, R670; 2 kg, R1 430 | 23 g protein per serving listed; scoop weight not stated |
| 100% Premium Synergy Whey | 1.5 kg, R600 | no serving or protein figure in page text |
| Alpha 5XL Mass Gainer | 4 kg, R540 | protein blend stated but serving unclear |
| Alpha Surge Pre-Workout | 400 g, R317 | |
| BCAA 12:1:1 plus Glutamine | 330 g, R295 | |

The brand's site also lists an IsoFrost isolate (700 g) and a Night Time Casein, but we found no retailer price for them.

## Where is Evox sold?

The brand site links straight to Dis-Chem Living Fit for purchase, and Dis-Chem is its main retailer. We did not find it in Clicks or Takealot listings in the sources checked.

## What are Evox's strengths?

- Mid-market pricing: the 908 g whey works out at R738 per kg, similar to NPL Platinum Whey and a little above USN BlueLab (R689).
- A wide range, from whey and gainers to pre-workouts and aminos.
- Strong Dis-Chem presence, so stock is easy to find.

## What are the trade-offs?

- **Thin published data.** Dis-Chem's pages show the nutrition table mostly as an image. For the Whey Advanced, the retailer page gives 23 g protein but no scoop weight, so we cannot calculate its cost per 30 g of protein.
- **No stated certification.** We found no Informed Choice, Informed Sport or other third-party scheme on the pages we read. That does not mean the products are untested; it means we cannot verify it. Drug-tested athletes should choose a product whose batch is on a certifier's register ([what Informed Sport means](/answers/what-is-informed-sport-certification-south-africa/)).
- **Ownership and founding date.** Not published in the sources we checked.
- **Sweeteners.** Not named in the page text we could read, so check the tub.

## How does Evox compare with others?

On price per kg, Evox Whey Advanced (about R738) sits between USN BlueLab (R689) and NPL Platinum Whey (about R771). See [USN vs Evox](/answers/usn-vs-evox-whey-south-africa/) and the [best whey protein comparison](/best/best-whey-protein-south-africa/). For a sweetener-free alternative, ATP Fitness offers a short ingredient list but no published protein per serving or certification.

## Who should see a professional?

If you have kidney disease, a milk allergy, or are under 18, speak to a doctor or dietitian before using any whey. Mass gainers add large amounts of calories and sugar; people with diabetes should take advice first.
