protien question

[tkav1980]

i saw something at the gym today that looked like it might show some promise. from the label i read it was pretty basic, just micronized whey, whey isolate, egg protien, and caesin. the chocolate flavoring had no nutritional value other than adding 5g carbs per serving. total 31 grams per scoop, and 4.4 lbs for $15. what do you think about a product like this?

$15 for 4.4lb? That sounds really cheap.. How many servings per tub? Is 31g just the amount of protein per scoop, or is it the total weight of the scoop? Total weight would be ~64 scoops.

tkav, sounds to good to be real...really cheap but remember you get what you pay for.

Here's some help...

Whey Protein 80% Instant- $1.90/lb
Whey Protein Isolate 90% Instant- $3.15/lb
Egg Albumen/White- $5.00/lb
Calcium or Sodium Caseinate- $4.00/lb

You do the math.... Granted you said Micronized Whey (Particle segregated) and it didnt specify what kind of whey.. Could be 34% all the way up to 90%. Also I DO NOT think its 31gms of protein per scoop as ISOPURE is only 25gms per scoop.. AND ITS 100% ISOLATE. I have a feeling its 31grams per serving and 2 scoops per serving. And I also think they are using 34% whey protein concentrate.. You WILL have digestion problems with this.

i found this link. it looks like the same name but the product doesnt come in tubs like this one. and the serving is 35 grams = 1 scoop = 24 grams protien.

I know the owner of that company VERY VERY well. He used to own Prolab. It's made at a reputable facility so I am sure what is said to be in there is.. I am almost POSITIVE it is almost 95% WPC 80% and a splash of the high end products for label claim. Notice the Protein blend (High Nitrogen Blend) that is the clever way to make it look like all those ingredients are of the highest inclusion rate.. When actually it means that blend is of the highest inclusion rate. Not a bad product BUT I would seriously just go to TRUE PROTEIN bro. There's no EASY way around it. Dante knows his shit and buys from some great sources.

Whether the quality is the best or not, thats a STEAL. No harm in buying a few tubs and trying them out.
