Dr Oz has just posted on his website the top10 best Protein Powders to use and Mercola's protein powder is not one of them. I wonder why?

I bought this "miracle whey protein" but found it high calorie, tastes bad and also is not considered a "meal" replacement which I was looking for. Not sure why Dr. Oz is not recommending it. Hope that helps.

What were Dr. Oz's criteria to make the list? I couldn't venture a guess without this information.

I read an article in a magazine about Yacon syrup. Dr Oz doesn't endorse brand names - he just talks about the product.

It's possible that it's an error, OR it's also possible that they're warning you that the protein that's sourced from peas is less-bioavailable than that from whey, which is the "gold standard" of protein powder bioavailability. (Funny, but I always thought that egg whites were the highest, then whey.)

Go to the Seeking Health website, the makers of Optimal Protein, and contact them. I have asked questions regularly there and they are very responsive. As this productwas designed by physicians, I would think they might also offer good insight.

I just learned about this product and metal content yesterday. Check out this link. http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/protein-powder-study-results

Hello: Not everything works for all people the same. It didn't seem to work for me but that could be due to other factors. I wasn't looking for a quick fix to my weight problem but I was looking for a quick start and didn't get it. There are warnings popping up about the main ingredient and I would advise researching that before spending any money. Sorry, Dick Urban

Personally, I think very highly of BSN protein products (they are my favorites). There may have been some slight labeling changes over the years but I cannot remember. My suggestion would be to ensure that the two products you are comparing are in fact the same (one might be isolate vs non-isolate, or size of the container, or the "Dessert" product vs the "Syntha-6" product). I'm not sure what you are referring to by "PD" and Exp", sorry. I understand your caution about trying something new but both my personal testimony and the aggregate of reviews on Amazon should provide you some confidence that you are purchasing a great product. Anything beyond that, you're just going to have to try it for yourself. Personally, I think very highly of BSN protein products (they are my favorites).

Best protein powder I have found, but sorry, it is like having cottage cheese in your coffee. I just tried it (just for you) in very hot coffee. I have always used it in blended protein shakes with raw eggs and other ingredients that provide a thicker consistency. I pour the protein into the already moving blender or it will stick to the sides. I recommend the product, but I'll stay with the shakes.

No i didn't see that either, but I read about this brand in a magazine article and it has been helpful. Since age 50 I have been having problems losing weight and gaining inches at the waistline; so far i am encouraged. I think Dr Oz also says 1600mg per day and im only taking 800mg. I'm entering this cautious.

Honestly Monster Mass is one of the best mass gainers I've taken. I'm really not a fan of ON because I don't like how their powders blend...

That frustrates me too. Why mess up a otherwise great product? Practically everything is using this crap now. I think I will try the Raw Organic Whey - USDA Certified Organic Whey Protein, 12oz next. But the shipping is killing my pockets. I wish I could get it locally.

is this the same stuff as this? http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/busted-dr-oz-guest-must-repay-9-million-to-customers-in-magic-beans-diet-scam/

I never trust Dr Oz. I found out about this product on Facebook. Amazon was the highest quality with the lowest price so I thought I would try it. I commented on Amazon and the manufacturer contacted me and asked how I was taking it. He increased my dose and still have had NO weight loss. If you work out with intensity (free weights) you may not see a reduction in weight but a reduction in fat. This is my case, I am getting more defined but maintaining the same weight. I think this stuff is going to work different for everyone. I would say buy a couple of bottles and see what happens. As I said earlier, buy from Amazon, its the best price. I never trust Dr Oz.

I believe that statement is making a claim of protein "by weight", it's not compared like apples to apples. An ounce of tofu vs. an ounce of spirulina is probably a better way to look at it.

I'm not sure - probably to make it taste as good as it does. Frankly, calories were not a concern for me. I have specialized dietary needs for high protein, and this drink has the highest protein to volume ratio of anything I've tried. Trust me, I've tried a ton of them. Core Power does have a 'light' version you might want to try, but it has slightly less protein.

Unfortunately this is another example of a supplement company hiding the doses because they are probably much less than desired. I didn't care for this protein much. Syntha 6 is much better and I just add my amino powders I get from tough Rhino.

No. I have asked the company many times, as they claim this is CLEAN protein in all of their marketing. Management at BulkSupplements is obviously not interested in the long term health of the consumer. I certainly look on milk and yogurt products for assurance of not being treated with growth hormones....and the same goes for any protein supplement which is 100% derived from dairy. Take a look at Jay Robb protein as a healthier alternative.
