Exploring other Protein Powders

[CelticPride12]

I have always been a 100% Gold Standard Whey Protein guy and made that my only choice for protein. I want to explore other brands and protein powders. Any suggestions??

I like ON's Casein for before bed and sometimes during the day. I've been stuck on ON for a while mostly because of taste.

Yeah I drank that before bed last summer because its a slow acting protein. I'm looking for something right after the work out like whey. I really like the Gold Standard and most likely will buy that again I just didn't know if there was something else out there that people liked.

I like ON myself. Ive been using it mostly, and syntha 6 before bed. Its really tasty. I also like Dymatize gourmet blends pretty good.

[auswest]

I've enjoyed and switch between myofusion, syntha 6, gold standard, and Max's super whey

I love ON too but hate the damn expensive prices!!!

Agree man ... What do you guys know about Cell Tech??

[songdog]

Over priced! Now I aint no expert but I have tried my fair share.And to me gold Standard is as good as some of the more expensive ones.Now I cant remember all the names.But for the price GS is good enough for me.

Man its not that bad at GNC. 54.99 all the time. Cant beat that price for a high quality isolate. It is one of the few that is accurate and doesn't contain near the amount of heavy metals and other fillers used my muscletech and the likes.

Get something cheap with a decent amino profile. I found a site online that sells 45lb bags works out to 35$ for 5 lbs..going to order some up pretty quick here.

Yea Im not to fussy when it comes to this ether. I tend to stick to whatever brand name whey concentrate is cheapest.

[bdos]

Gold standard all the way, its cheap and i like the taste why change if its meeting your expectations?

[belva]

On Gold standard for me, I tried ON casein before bed but I didn't like the taste.

Biggest reason I watch what kind of protein I get is because of the fillers. Walmart brands tend to advertise a certain gram percent of protein even though some of the fillers are considered. I have a study on this I can dig up. Some advertise, for instance, 30 grams of protein but end up being like 18 grams. And since the fda has no say or care in supplements, they get away with it. 54 bucks for 5.5lbs of gold standard is pretty cheap considering it is isolated whey and is over 90% pure. Heavy metals just spooks me.

I recently switched from On to Intek. This stuff tastes great to me.

[Armykid93]

There's no reason to switch really unless something is cheaper they are all pretty much the same.

Primal whey is cheap. 160 for 385 servings. At 20 grams of protein per serving even if you double up it will last as long as gold standard plus 15 more grams of protein

What site is that?

[canesfan804]

ONs ProComplex is pretty good also. Its a touch more $$ than gold standard but it has more protein (30g) per scoop so you can use a little less. Fitrx.com has great prices. There GS is only 45 for 5lbs. Only place I use

I actually prefer the kind they carry at costco over anything else i have ever tried. I believe its muscle milk brand, here is a pic of it. It doesn't have any added shit, tastes pretty good to drink, and makes the best whey pancakes ever. Also cheap of course, since its costco, although admittedly you can find cheaper online.

I've recommended it to so many people i feel like they should be paying me commission by now...

included a pic of the nutrition data from the bag

Is there any way to order it online bc the closest Costco to me is 100 miles haha

here.

unfortunatley it's almost twice as much as it is in-store, i wouldn't say it's worth it. But this is a great place to order cheap whey online, so many options its almost overwhelming and definitely on the cheaper side. I always do a custom mix and am never disappointed, it also lets you tailor it to your macro needs.

How much is it at Cosco?

[smeeto]

How much is it at Cosco?

$37 plus tax for a 6lb bag i believe, the costco i go to always carries vanilla and chocolate (although imo the vanilla powder they make is undrinkable)

Thanks

i use "true nutrition" protein powder. they let you customize whatever mix you want (whey, milk protein isolate, casein, whatever) 5% discount if you buy in "bulk" (16+ pounds), and they periodically run a "10% off" sale.

i also use "muscletech" that i get at sam's club in 5 lb bags.

100% whey by cytosport is at Costco and you get a lot for your money

[THE HOGG]

What "mix" are you guys that use true nutrition using? I just ordered some but the amount of choices is truly overwhelming. I kinda just tried to copy the stuff Ive been using since I didnt know how else to go about it.

I wouldnt mind hearing about this also...what are your thoughts guys? Best protein blend?

[rollingthunder]

i agree that the options are overwhelming. opinions vary on what is the "best" mix. i suppose the answer somewhat depends on what kind of training you are doing, what your goals are, etc

my last order was:

-Micellar Casein [Milk] (20%)
-Whey Protein Concentrate - Super Grade [Milk] (80%)

i like the dutch chocolate fudge flavor, but i have not tried any others (except french vanilla, which was good, too.)

[RipOwens]

Gaspari Myofusion I liked but the price tag is down right crazy...but check out amazon

I like Synthetek Whey Isolate the best and I have tried almost all of them.

[cornfedboy2000]

I used Champion Nutrition whey isolate for a couple years. I'm back to isopure now, but the cost of the champion nutrition was pretty good. a 5# ran 35$ by me.

[ali.jones]

They all suck

<Sad Jones>

[THE HOGG]

Just got my true nutrition powder yesterday and it tastes like SHIT!!! OMG... I did the mix so I suppose its my fault but DAMN!! I will be going back to ForzaPro as soon as I can get all of this nast stuff drank.. Must have more knowledge of a GOOD tasting recipe before I will order there again.
