How is this compared to Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey in terms of taste and results? Results meaning muscle growth and performance
261625
Muscle growth and performance doesn't have much to do with the type of protein you take its more based on how much protein your taking in every day. I honestly think that optimum nutrition is a better protein, syntha has more artificial sweeteners which are not good in terms of muscle growth. The cinnamon Garham cracker optimum is one of the best proteins I've ever tasted buy its all just based off your own preference. Syntha focuses more on taste but for the price optimum is the one to go with.

It's a much better taste. As for "results," considering my diet and exercise routine is kicking back into gear, I feel much better taking this protein post workout than I did with Optimum Whey.

ON whey has more protein concentration and less calories per scoop then Syntha. Where Syntha is a mixed protein blend with a little added carbs, ON is more of a pure whey isolate protein with little to no carbs. Both use sucralose but I assume they use very little because it doesn't overtake the taste or leave that typical artificial sweeteners aftertaste as when you use a packet of splenda. Taste wise Syntha is tough to beat, I like both, but I tend to grab ON when I want a lower calorie, higher quality protein and grab Syntha when I want great taste and some added carbs. Both are great choices in their own way, you'll see similar performance results as long as you're putting the work in and eating right.

Haven't tried that brand personally. I've tried a number of org whey powders - many were very hard to get mixed. This was by far the best I've tried as far as creamy taste and easily mixed. Once I find a product that works I settle on it - otherwise I'd be trying brands endlessly (I also add my own BCAA's along with other things). Sounds like you should go with whatever brand feels right for you...

I'm almost 40 and noticed an immediate gain in strength and endurance at the gym in only a couple days after I started taking. So I guess you could say the long term affect is achieving the desired physique. I'm pretty certain I will have to remain on the product to maintain the testosterone levels. I have been off for a week now, as suggested by the manufacturer between bottles, and have had slight decrease in both now at day seven. I was late ordering so it will be about 9 days elapse in time prior to taking my next recommended dosage. There is a cycle of 5 days on and 2 off along with a week off between bottles. Maybe its so your body can start producing its own after so long? The manufacturer contacted via e-mail a week after receiving to see how it was working. I'm sure he'll (Cliff) we'll respond to you question as well. I like the question and will look forward to his response. This along with the Bullet Proof Diet has has dramatic results for me.

If you're asking 'is it a good, quality protein product that can attribute to muscle growth', than yes. If you're asking 'by taking this supplement, will I get ripped,' than the answer would likely be no. This is a supplement; the rest of your diet will still play a bigger role in muscle gain, as will the amount of and type of work you're putting in to gain muscle.

Hi! When I was buying this product i was checking all the ingredients to make sure i got what I really want. And as their web site says "Platinum Hydrowhey is ultra-pure. That's because it's made entirely with hydrolyzed whey protein isolates. So there's no excess fat, cholesterol, or lactose to slow down your progress." I hope my answer will help you! Vitaliy H.

It has whey protein in it but it is not a good source of protein in general. Isopure is my preferred source.

Well I take this whey specifically because of its lack of flavor. Its not completely flavourless; its milky. If you dissolved 1 oz in 8oz of water it will taste like watery milk. It has no sweet or sour ir bitter or savory flavor, its simply milky. Also I'd like to mention it doesnt dissolve easily with a spoon, a blender works better. I always end up drinking undisolved bits but I don't mind it becaise i know its a low processed whey. But take that into account. Other than that I think this whey is excellent for weight loss, I take it after weight training with water and it helps me reach my protein goals.

Depends, it sure wouldn't hurt. This product aids in recovery and protein synthesis. (uptake of usable protein for your muscles to grow). Optimum is a good product. Hard training and adequate rest are important.

They have a new option where you can get it in Whey. I ordered the soy version (even though the image said Whey) it still came to me correctly.

"Standard Process"- the brand name. Their products could be considered the "gold standard" in whole food supplements. I used to sell supplements and know that not all supplements can be helpful, due to ingredients and the way they are processed. I support these products 100%, with no financial interest in the company or products.

To be honest, I only bought it that one time, I am using a different product now. I liked protein 17 but they don't have it any more, so I am using "Source Organic Whey Protein 2.0 Lbs Bulk"... I don't even remember reserveage organics... sorry.

As i have finished the package already, not sure. However, you can just look at the nutrition label on the back. Go to their website, and you can look it up. Or other websites that sell it may have the label you can view the picture of it. Great product though. Price/gram of high quality, organic whey...this is your best bet. I reviewed at least a dozen other organic whey products before choosing this one. I just wish they sold a quantity larger than 2lbs to help bring down the price/gram. Good luck

Well, the taste of purified whey protein is not that great, at least not for me. So if your son is finicky about taste, he may not like this. The benefit of this protein is that it is supposed to not have additional additives. The juice helps, but it doesn't remove the taste of the protein. This product may be better for adults or teenagers that can get past the taste part and focus on the health benefits. I hope this helps.

Yes, and yes. We've been using Source Organic at our CrossFit box for close to a year, now. Everyone who's tried it swears it's the cleanest, best performing whey they've ever tried. If you're going to be consuming a lot of whey, you want some that works! The only complaint we've ever had is that it's nearly flavorless, which most find is a benefit.

It's 100% Whey. it is also one of the best tasting protien concentrates I have ever used. Great for blending into drinks and food. Doesn't seem as clumpy mixing up as a lot of others on the market.

There are two different Muscle Feast unflavored whey isolates. I've had both the 26g and 24g. I pick up the former if it's in stock and the latter if not. They both taste the same and haven't affected my lactose intolerance.
