Protein Factory Service?

I have used them for over 3 years now and I recommend them to anyone. However, it does take a little long to get my order which requires a little planning ahead. I'm in Oklahoma and it usually takes about 7 business days or so to receive my order.
 
While I like their products, their service is somewhat lacking. I've had orders take 2+ weeks before while some come in about a week. Just depends on how busy they are. Customer service isn't that good from them -- but, how much service do you need for a basic protein order? Not much...

Their protein was good, but not super consistent. I always ordered the same blend, but it would come with slight moisture variances, taste variances and color variances from bach to batch. I assume this is because they are custom mixing the orders and it just varies from person to person who processes the order... I was overall pleased with the quality of their protein though.

I've actually started buying recently from www.allthewhey.com -- not really out of displeasure with proteinfactory (of course, protein factory hasn't generated enough customer loyalty to keep me there or I wouldn't be trying alternate places) -- just wanted to try something different. I think there are a number of quality, low-cost protein sources out there.
 
But allthewhey doesn't offer as many options. I like a blend of whey, whole egg and casien and I can't get that from allthewhey.
 
I have gotten 40 whey (isolate) 30 egg, 30 casinate from PF multiple times and will in the future... good stuff...I would recommend

Now if I get just whey, I get the isolate from allthewhey...Also a great product...

Both are good products.... PF has more options, but if you are just getting whey go with ATW

Also, I have very sensitive digestion, and both have been great to me...
 
There service truly sucks, my last order they messed up 3 times before they got it right. I will never use them again.

Isn't Micellar Casein much better than Caseinate?

Nelson,
I got this off the Elitefitness website about casein and egg. What are your thoughts?

What about the other available proteins--egg, casein, and soy? How do these compare? First, let me state that all of the above proteins are decent if processed correctly. Each will provide the body very efficiently with the protein that it "needs". I would definitely stay away from casein and egg white. Casein has been shown to have detrimental effects on a person's cholesterol profile and egg white protein tastes poorly, is expensive, and consists of about 10% carbohydrates.
 
Some of their formulas look very pricey.. or they just really messed up. Their Post workout formula is $6 a pound, and there are only 3 servings per pound according to them...
 
I just get the casinate calcium---

Like the above statement says, all of these have use if the quality is there.

I can't comment on the casein and cholesterol. If we are talking about a quality product, the egg white protein comment is way off base. Egg white protein is often used in formulations because of it's ability to IMPROVE the taste of the end product. Furthermore, quality egg white proteins are available with almost no carbohydrate whatsoever.

Yeah, I agree -- it is definitely nice to be able to customize formulas like you can with protein factory. And they do have a vast array of options.

I'm not knocking them (other than their customer service) -- I've used them on and off literally for years; they're acceptable in my opinion and if they have something I want, I order from them.

I wish they were still able to get that rice protein though... was a nice addition to a post-workout formula...
 
My service with them was good. However I believe they have the worst web site on the internet. You have to be a detective to figure out where anything is.
 
I think that claim about casein is nonsense started by a company that just sells whey.
Casien has the advantage of digesting slowly, making it more of an "anti-catbolic" protein.

Micellar casin has a higher % of protein and almost no lactose but lactose has it's advanatges too. (Just makes you fart)

I prefer ion exchange whey because it has the highest BCAA count and taste the best. Egg is an underrated protein that makes shakes "creamier." And the yolk helps the amino acid ratio, improves "mouth feel", and adds fat emulsifying lecithin and "good " cholesterol. Whole eggs may be the most anabolic food found in nature.

By using a mix, you cover all the bases. Whey by itself is inferior IMO.
 
I agree with genarr about their website. They have that fixed size inline frame which fucking sucks when you're on a higher resolution than 800x600.

I also agree with nelson about the addition of egg to a mix. I'm using a mix recommended from his book and I definitely enjoy the egg mixed in there. I actually like the taste added to my shakes. It doesn't mix in quite as well as whey, but if you use a shaker and shake the hell out of it you shouldn't have any problems.
 
Yeah, the egg protein is best used with a blender. Actually, the original Blair protein was like clumpy chalk. He felt that "instantizing" it denatured the protein molecules. (Can't say if that true with any certainty. It's out of my line of expertise.) The stuff sold as the Blair formula today is instantized.

Protein Factoy is re-doing their website. Right now it isn't as clear as it should be. They said it should be ready next month.
 
I just complained about them on another thread. But...

The Web site is useless.

Delivery is SLOW.

Call them! They are extremely responsive to customers needs and concerns and will help you through their needlessly operose web site. Better yet, they will take the time to listen to what you are trying to accomplish and will make recommendations based on those goals/plans rather that just what they have in stock/over stock (ie: they dont try to "push" you in any given direction).
 
I ordered from them twice. No problems, had my order in 2 days. I'm local though. Called them once, great service.
 
I ahven't had a problem with them in almost five years. However, i don't order blends just straight milk isolate for regular use and whey for post workout.

Is whole organic egg that much better then Egg White Protein? Whole organic egg is like 5 more bucks a pound.

I wondered about this too, because yolk is pretty cheap too. So is it any different to figure out the white to yolk ratio in eggs and just customize your white/yolk blend to equal the whole organic egg for a lower cost?

Organic Egg is $11.25/pound and Egg White is $5.99/pound and Yolk Powder is $3.00/pound so it would be cheaper to get a white/yolk blend.
 
Nothing bu praise for the protien factory from me ... I've ordered over the last year or so and it always take about 10 days to get to Seattle from the east coast. great product and as much customization as you want.
 
Whole egg is about 1/4 yolk -- and even at that, the blend would be on the "rich" side. (You can use less yolk) So a 3 dollar pound should last a long time.

It may sound crazy, but I mix a scoop of whole egg powder with a splash of soy with a scoop and a half of Bisquick for some slammin' protein pancakes. Not exacty "diet food", but yummy.
 
Soy with pancakes? That's interesting... I'd a thrown in a splash of vanilla... :)
