| It's good...but since you bought chocolate you won't be able to add fruit to your shakes...other than bananas. |

Originally posted by Dr. Pain Yes why? Strawberries, raspberries, cream or peanut butter all go gr8? So does Orange or mint extract! And cold coffee works if that is your taste! DP |
...and do the cold coffee too

. oh and i payed $30 bucks at a local nutrition store. GNC wanted like $45 and so did this other place. but i could find it 5 bucks cheaper online, but then you gotta add shipping. i suppose i got an ok deal on this one, better than that nitro-tech shit....

Originally posted by Karlito I'm using Optimum Chocolate at the moment, as it's cheaper, but I have to say I really prefer the taste of the Prolabs Whey protein....Optimum has a very slight weird funk to it that you only notice after getting used to another brand..... |

Yeah that's different

Originally posted by Prince I always viewed Optimum as a cheap version of Twin Lab, meaning they make every product on the market, but they do not innovate, they are copycats of every supplement, and whatever seems to be the current market hype.

Originally posted by dg806 Optimum has a higher percentage of protein and less expensive. It is one of the most reputable companies. |

Originally posted by MeanCuts I think those sties are a little biased but I'm with you when comparing optimum to nitro-tek |
|
Originally posted by Prince I just question the quality of any supplement, protein or otherwise, that is as cheap as Optimum. I guess I have always believed in the saying "you get what you pay for". |

Originally posted by MeanCuts To me whey is whey(because it's cheap to make) and all you pay for is the brand name.Like buying medicine you can pay more for the brand name but why not get generic and save money? |

Originally posted by Prince hmmm...rubber is cheap to make, are all car tires the same quality? |

Originally posted by MeanCuts Exactly 1Fast400 sells optimum and I bet it sells really well so they wouldn't be a very good buosness if they said one of their best selling products was a fraud.I don't actually have to say why optimumnutrition.com is biased do I?From what I read whey protein is cheap to make so there's no reason for whey products to be anything other than what they say they are. |

Originally posted by dg806 Check the label.......................divide the #g of protein by the #g per serving size...this gives you the percentage protein. For optimum whey their seving size is 28.4g. The # of grams of protein is 22. This is 77% protein. Nitro tech serving size is 29g @ 20g protein=69%protein and you compare the cost! 1fast has also conducted test on optimum. http://www.1fast400.com/store/article.php?articleID=5 http://www.1fast400.com/store/produc...821861ede70b6d http://www.optimumnutrition.com/ |

Originally posted by dg806 If you read his website, you will find he does sell some things that have not had favorable test results.........like HDT protein(MD labs).That created quite a stir. If it was representable of that product or not we do not know? That batch though did not test good. And just a side note, Mike pays for this out of his own pocket and it is very expensive to run these test. I think this shows Mikes commitment to show things how they are no matter who it is! |

Originally posted by 1Fast400 I've had optimums tested. It was one of the first things I had tested. I can't remember if it is on labelclaimstesting.com |
