Optimum Nutrition or Dymatize whey proteins? Which is better?

[ascendant]

Well, from reading the nutritional info, they seem to be about the same. the advantages that optimum nutrition seems it might have though is the list of amino's found in their whey and dymatize didn't list any. the only advantage i saw with dymatize is that they have some pretty tasty sounding flavors.

one question i have though is since both are whey protein and seem to be fairly similar as far as ion-exchange, micro-filtered, etc, wouldn't they both have the same kinds of amino's in them, or is there more to it that i'm missing?

anyway, because of the long amino list, optimum nutrition looks like it's winning out for me, but just wanted to hear everyone elses opinions and see if these two are comparable or if optimum really wins out here. thanks guys.

oh, also wanted to add in here that since optimum whey has such a large amount of aminos in it, is there any point in taking liquid aminos along with it, or is the whey just going to break down to aminos so fast it would basically be like taking in more of the same thing?

I love dymatize whey. I recently purchased it and I am totally hooked. It tastes amazing and the quality is great. On is great but dymatize tastes way better in my opinion.

I want to try the banana and choco mint eilte whey. I heard they taste awesome.

im all about Opt nutrition. it mixes very well, quickly and with minimal water. it tastes great and is relatively cheap. also a lot of other proteins gave me horrible gas or the runs(nitrotech). ON has never steered me wrong. been using it for 2 years i guess now....... +1 for ON here!!

Have to agree. ON is the best

Dymatize is pretty good. I got Butter Cream Toffee and its pretty tasty. They also took less than 2 days to get it to me from when I ordered.

I have only used ON I love it but may try Dymatize on the next purchase

thanks for all the feedback guys. i still have yet to get any info about their amino acid profile though? not looking for a list, but just want to know if the amino acids found in dymatize would be comparable to those found in ON?

also, still no word on if i'd need to still use liquid aminos, or if the aminos in the whey would be the same thing?

i use dymatize ..CHOCOLATE IS BY FAR the best flavour ..sooo good ud think its cake sometimes or brownie batter if u mix it in with ur oats... strawberry is second best id say...not a big fan of the cafe mocha or vanilla... it mixes very easily and can be done with just a spoon in a glass... if u want to whip up a nice milkshake consistency buy some xanathan gum and add in a 1/2tsp to ur shake with ice

used to love ON but switched to dymatize for better quality, price, and protein content (more iso and hydro I think)

try this:

scoop orange dreamsicle flavor dymatize elite whey
1/2 water + 1/2 tropicana sugar free orangeade
1 tbsp. flax oil
crushed ice

tastes just like an orange julius


Also, chocolate, mocha, and choc. mint are good. I thought butter cream toffee tasted like ass. ON Rock road is awesome too.

honestly, grab whatever is on sale. Protien powder is so overated, your far better off getting the protien from food anyways and only using powder PWO only.

[ruffrydadd]

100% whey protein isolate. Isopure is the shit and it tastes better than any protien I have personally ever tried. (Dutch Chocolate)

since i didn't manage to get the answer to my questions on here, i figured i'd let you all know i got the answer to one of my questions directly from dymatizes cs.

the amino acid profile in dymatize (gram per gram) is far better than optimum nutritions. taking that into account on top of the fact that dymatize has a wider range of flavors has sealed the deal for me.

just figured i'd let you know saying as no one here seemed to have that info already. so if you're looking for the best as far as amino acid profiles, dymatize beats ON, despite ON's seemingly higher popularity.

checkout swoles website sponser for buying in bulk too..great prices

[FromFleshtoSteel]

just look at how granular optimum's protein is vs. dymatize

that right there tells boatloads about the quality

glad someone took the time to find a proper answer about the amino profile though!
