Thread: Protiens -is there a difference in quality??

    Protiens -is there a difference in quality??

    I have been taking different proteins for over 8 eyars now, and have been with the same brand now for the last 4 (Bio-X Whey isolate 5.5 pound tub). Is there really any reason why muscletech is priced so much higher, has anyone actually got better results from it. Or on the flip side, you can buy 10 pound bags of other protein (cant remember the name) but the guy at the store tells me it doesnt work as good as bio-x. Are there any stand out of the crowd proteins out there that people here swear buy??
    I'm also from Canada so we dont get all brands up here i believe. This all came about when i was pricing out how much protein shakes i buy evey month and it started to add up, so it begged me to wonder, is there any difference other then price???

    Optimum Nutrition- Cheap price, good taste. 10lb bag for $65 dollars if you know where to look. Protein price has increased a shitload lately.
    Muscle Milk- Fantastic taste, decent price. It's my favorite and I can get it for cheap.

    Some taste like ass, don't mix well, upset people's stomachs, etc...

    I like ON, just because it's cheap and good.

    MuscleTech shit is good, but it just isn't worth the extra money.

    BioX Iso is a good protein, bro. We get almost everything in Canada. My favourite is Dymatize Elite Whey...great flavours and I believe it has a better amino profile than ON.

    If I were you, I would be ordering your protein off the net. At least where I'm at, retail supplement stores are overpriced vs. the net.

    I get EAS protein whey 6lb bag at Sam's Club for $24. Not the best tasting powder but is does not clump and is as good as ON, imo.

    i buy protien with 18 amino acids already in and i get 10pound jug for 40$ and it taste great....

    i hate all the ones you buy at say gnc that is pure sugar.... im not using it for a meal replacement just supplemental protein....

    I guess it depends on your preference..

    Hey that's a really good price, gonna check it.. I also like Dymatize, great flavors. On is what I've been using but they did jack their prices up.

    lol yeah i know. Im trying to really bulk up! Im going to start looking around at other proteins too.

    Thanks, Im looking for more of an isolate but i think Im gonna try some of that Dymatize. I think Im also gonna pick up some of that nectar protein, anyone here tried that stuff? Think it might be nice to have some protein I cna drink as a quick juice instead of the same old shakes.

    ON chocolate mint all the way. muscletech is priced so high so people will think that its better, plus the 20 color label they put on it cost money, and the 17 page spread the advertise in every magazine cost money as well as all the body builders they endorse
