LBA vs BPI

[Creation]

what exactly is the difference b/w LBA's and beef protein isolate?

Go to:
True Protein | High Quality Nutrition and Protein Supplements
pull up the respective products and look at the ingredients and nutrient break-downs...

I used both together for a few months and here are my thoughts:

For starters, BPI does not have as good of an AA profile and is developed differently from LBAs. They come out to be about the same price per serving, but BPI does not have glycerol. LBA's are already made and you just have to pour it down your throat...no mixing, no shakes, no refrigeration, etc. BPI does not mix easily and has a very salty taste...only the chocolate flavors are palatable...the fruity ones are horrible. You cannot beat the convenience of LBAs..you can take them everywhere...whereas powders just suck to deal with.

Biggest difference and I cannot explain properly why: I get way more energy, strength, and better pumps with LBAs....I also stay much leaner with LBAs too.

BPI gave me the shits something horrible. Coconut flavor.

wow i didnt know LBAs were liquid haha, thanks for responses guys LBAs here i come

if you're on a budget you might just want to get a nice whey isolate and then buy bulk gelatin packets (KNOX brand). That comes out MUCH cheaper than buying the 'sexy' LBAs....LBAs from my understanding are basically gelatin with tryptophan added and put in glycerol...

Yes, not to mention stomach pain and gas from BPI....If you dont get protease enzymes added to the mix, this likely will happen. BPI is hard to digest for many people another reason to choose LBAs. Everyone I personally know that has tried LBAs ends up hooked on them.

Go ahead and try the gelatin and whey combo...what a pain in the ass to mix it all up and dont forget glycerol (is it still cheaper? Doubt it)....Why spend 5 minutes making something that takes 5 seconds to drink? Time is money for me.

even with the enzyme stuff it still gave me the shits.

The new lba's are pretty cost effective. I'm not sure of another way to obtain that much protein intake with any other supplement.
The new lba's are alot larger
