Sometime I am dismayed when I read post like this, how much did you pay for the matrix? if it taste bitter then it's hydrolyzed whey and it's the best form, other protein bottlers put whey concentrate, you guys are lucky living in good USA, if I were you I would buy my protein from protein factory,try their hydrolyzed dalton 520 ,but it smells like shit and taste bloody bitter, but it's only for hardcore BB, otherwise I recommend their CFM WHEY.
BTW if you take their hydrolyzed whey, you can do away with fat burners to get cut, this protein kick bloody ass big time.
