Protien from the supp companies

[ThePolishHammer]

Is this stuff quality protien? who makes good protien powder? I heard some of it is 50% cake mix or some BS like that. Also that its not always all whey protien. Whats the low down on commercial protien?
Bottom line, does it work?

look on the side of the tub, all the 99% isolate shit just means they managed to filter 99%of the stuff, that just refers to their filtration. ionically filtered is probably better than heat filtered

(ont the side of the tub) see how much protein there is per 100g. good rule of thumb as to how much protein is actually in the tub. as for adding anything else, all you can go by is whats on the ingredients. they could concievably be lying and adding crushed donkey testicles or something to up the protein content cheaply, but you just have to go by what they say

Check out www.allthewhey.com - 25 grams of whey protein isolate per scoop and nothing else added. I've seen independent lab test results for this protein - it's probably the purest whey isolate you'll find on the market. And you won't pay an arm and a leg for it.

JJ - have you tried the whey from there? How does it taste? Do you like it?

 

[JJFigure]

It's unflavored, so there's not much taste. I use it in crystal light, and I've added it to oatmeal - it didn't change the flavor of my oatmeal at all. I'm tired of the "milky" tasting protein powders, so I love this stuff.

CytoSport is a great Whey protein. In a shaker bottle you just shake a few times vigorously and it is perfectly blended -- no lumps or caking. Compared to Optimum Whey, well, there is no comparison.

i disagree . I love optimum, just got a 10lb bag. you cant go wrong for the content flavor and consistency. It tastes great , mixes good with milk and goes down nice doesnt bloat you. I've easily tried over 10 brands too

Thanks JJ, I'll check it out. While I can drink most protein shakes, I am growing tired of the very similar milky taste too.

ionically filtered is probably better than heat filtered

Ion-exchange process is the worst, after heat process; most of the important immune related protein fractions of the whey are lost.

Stick to cross-flow-microfiltration instead (CFM).

Thanks.

yikes i didn;t realise they heated the ion exchange membranes etc

thanks for the tip i use ultimate nutritions powders anyway, they are micro filtered, its pretty cheap
