things always get expensive when you expect too much from it.
if you want protein powder, then just get protein powder. I prefer the isolate, as it is very easily metabolized, and minimizes farting (for me anyways).
if you want BCAA, then just get BCAA, if you want glutamine, then just get glutamine.
you will always pay a premium when that shit is mixed in there for you. Save yourself a couple of bucks and mix it yourself, if that is what you want to take.
and dont' forget your creatine and arginine....
