**RCfootball87** · 03-09-2003, 03:16 PM

hey guys, i just bought a 5 pounder of double rich chocolate optimum whey. what do you think? i haven't used this brand before. does anyone else use it?

**Wolfpack22** · 03-09-2003, 03:29 PM

I just got some in that I ordered, but I haven't tried it. I've heard it's prettygood. I got one chocolate, one vanilla at a total of about $50. How much did you pay?

**Fit Freak** · 03-09-2003, 04:06 PM

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

Why?

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!

sorry fitfreak, but im a sucker for a pretty girl, ill beleive w8 on this one

. 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....

**Fit Freak** · 03-10-2003, 06:50 AM

I have to say I have never tried berries with chocolate...how does it taste?

If it's good maybe I should consider buying some chocolate....vanilla gets boring...

**Dr. Pain** · 03-10-2003, 06:56 AM

Tastes good, esp frozen berries!

**DaMayor** · 03-10-2003, 10:13 AM

Everything's good with chocolate!

**Badger** · 03-11-2003, 10:07 PM

I love the O/N brand. I've had both the choc and van. Just ordered another 10# bag. I never tried the fruit with the choc either. I'll have to give that a try real soon (before I run out of choc). I payed 52.00 for the 10# bag by ordering online. GNC wants $45-$50.00 for the 5# bucket. Can't see paying that much.

**Jodi** · 03-11-2003, 11:57 PM

I like strawberries or raspberries with the Choc but not blueberries.

I really like the PB with my choc but my favorite is to add a tsp. of Instant Decaf and heavy cream, throw some ice in there and its like drinking a mocha frappe!

**DaMayor** · 03-12-2003, 06:48 AM

Oh snap! Java! That sounds like a winner!

**Stacey** · 03-13-2003, 11:42 AM

I buy the strawberry Opti. whey and add frozen strawberries and Heavy cream to it.. taste wonderful!

**Karlito** · 03-13-2003, 03:19 PM

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.....

**P-funk** · 03-13-2003, 03:24 PM

Optimum is my favorite tasting but I have never had Prolab. I use their creatine I think they are a good supp. company.

How many grams of carbs/sugar is in one serving of their protein?

**Karlito** · 03-13-2003, 03:31 PM

Whey Isolate:

Total Calories 100

Total Fat 0.5 g 1%

Cholesterol 10 mg 3%
Sodium 80 mg 3%
Total Carbohydrates 1 g <1%
Dietary Fiber <0.5 g 2%
Sugars <0.5 g
Protein 23 g 48%

What they call "Whey Advance":

Total Fat 2g 3%
Saturated Fat 1g 6%
Cholesterol 45mg 15%
Sodium 60mg 2%

Dietary Fiber 0g 0%

Protein 24g 48%
Vitamin A <2%

Problem is the first is $29 and the latter is $23, when I can get a five pound jug of Optimum for $25.....

i <3 strawberry.

**Jodi** · 03-14-2003, 12:44 AM

I prefer the Optimium Vanilla over the Strawberry and then add my fruit in. That way I can use diferrent kinds of berries as well.

Besides every try the Opti Strawberry plain -

i think i know what you mean, im still used to the nitro-tech taste(better than optimum, delicious). optimum leaves this weird "after taste" type thing. its hard to describe.

**ZECH** · 03-17-2003, 05:33 PM

Optimum has a higher percentage of protein and less expensive. It is one of the most reputable companies.

**Prince** · 03-17-2003, 05:38 PM

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.

I think you may be wrong on this. Optimum is a very large company with lots of money. They don't do the advertising bit like most do. And their quality is top notch. Better than most. I believe GP would tell you the same thing.

Higher percentage of protein?Like more grams per serving?I just think protein is protein(assuming your comparing the same type of protein) regardless of who's selling it.I guess some are more fortified with vitamins and aminos but I've gone expensive and cheap and could never tell the difference.So if optimum whey is cheap go for it

Good question maybe that's what their ads say

**Prince** · 03-17-2003, 06:20 PM

what brand of supplements do you use MeanCuts?

**MeanCuts** · 03-17-2003, 06:29 PM

Protein(iron-tek),creatine(max muscle),ephedrine(vaso pro),Vitamins&glucosamine(varies).I buy retail though

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.
