isopure?

any body heard of it? my coach recomended it for me on the diet im on, im tryin to lose fat same time bulk up

**Mudge** · 07-24-2003, 12:10 AM

Its whey protein right? Whey Isolate perhaps? I'm going to guess it might be on the expensive side.

**HeavyLineBacker** · 07-24-2003, 12:39 AM

not really... like 50... yea its whey protein

**DWIPump** · 07-24-2003, 04:43 AM

Isopure is one of the most expensive protien isolates on the market, but it does taste good. Way too expensive.

**Mudge** · 07-24-2003, 08:28 AM

$50 for 5 pounds or 10 pounds or? Isolate is usually more expensive than Concentrate by $20/10 pounds or so from what I've seen. I just buy regular old Optimum Nutrition whey in 10 pound bags.

**butterfly** · 07-24-2003, 11:44 AM

Me, fade & Stacey all use the Zero Carb Isopure. Taste great!!! Have one in the morning and before a workout, get some casien protein to take before bed.

**papaoso2k1** · 07-24-2003, 12:20 PM

IMO isopure works best for competitive bodybuilders who need that 110% effort....but for regular guys (like me...) who have smaller wallets, protein concentrates works fine...Thats just my opinion....

**BigBallaGA** · 07-24-2003, 12:22 PM

dude stay away from IsoPure its good protein but contains aspartame AND acesulfame K....

stay away from this shit, unless you want nerve damage and other debilitating diseases

**butterfly** · 07-24-2003, 12:31 PM

Funny, my container of Isopure says very clearly aspartame FREE!!!

**BigBallaGA** · 07-24-2003, 01:20 PM

then they must have updated their formula !

but i bet it still cotains either Acesulfame K or sucralose, which are both bad !

either way, stick to something than has neither.

**HeavyLineBacker** · 07-24-2003, 01:39 PM

i was wonderin if it works not the price... :-/

**Mudge** · 07-24-2003, 02:04 PM

Its protein to fill in possible empty spots in your day, IMO there is nothing magical about it that makes it "work" or "not work." Opinions may differ but I use whey primarily when I wake up, pre and post workout.

I dont think its like comparing nitromethane to pump gas, its protein.

**butterfly** · 07-24-2003, 02:07 PM

HeavyLineBacker... it's a good source for whey protein and it works for us! Check out my hubby

There isn't any Acesulfame K in it.

and sucralose is splenda, an artificial sweetener...

**Mudge** · 07-24-2003, 02:16 PM

I thought Splenda was one of the "safe" sweetners?

**butterfly** · 07-24-2003, 02:37 PM

Me too, so I've been doing some research...

The FDA approved it in 1998 but there have been less then 20 total studies done on the stuff and none on the long-term effects.

All I've read says it's not anywhere near as bad as aspartame, though.

Read more...

This Dr. also talkes about whether it is Absorbed or Metabolized.

and so is Acesulfame K and Aspartame, an artificial sweetener !

sucralose with its 3 chlorine molecules, personally i dont want that in my body. what you do with yours, is your perogative !

also,

that guy in the pics has certain size but absolutely no definition.

Not everyone feels the need to be 7% bodyfat year round.

Now Butterfly, Whey Isolate didn't do that Fade did. How much difference would it really have made?

**Mudge** · 07-24-2003, 07:17 PM

I think her saying "its a good source for whey protein" is what it comes down to honestly

I dont think most of us have to be so picky with what whey protein you get if you want whey.

Heavylinebacker, I'm another sophmore-to-be Linebacker. And trust me, when I first started buying protein I used nitro-tech because I thought all the hype and advertising was true. That was like 8 months ago. Believe me, unless mommy and daddy buy your supps for you money is gonna be really tight and if you wanna start something like creatine and glutamine later on, which believe me you will, it's gonna be hard using a fancy isolate protein. I'm not saying it might not be a a little bit better, on the order of maybe 2% more mass, But beleive me it's really not worth it. Heres where I get my protein after trying Nitrotech and Optimum and I decided to go with this, It works as good as either one of those, tastes better than Optimum, and I beleive it's less expensive.

If you order from that site you sohuld get your order pretty quickly, and beleive me it's good protein.

My question is....how do you know that the isopure is helping you with your goals?? I mean...couldnt it be your diet?? or your training?? Everywhere I read that those 2 factors are more important that the exact brand of your protein powder..sure if you like it and have the money then what the hell...GO FOR IT!!...but if I was getting results from cheaper stuff I would stay on it....

I completely agree with you!!! My hubby used to drink myoplex but switched b/c I'm a picky eater and preferred the Isopure taste better.

The original question was regarding Isopure and that's why I chimed in.

Who is ripped when they are on a bulk???

I have no doubt that he looks 100% better then you do now or ever will!

**HeavyLineBacker** · 07-24-2003, 10:18 PM

im tryin to bulk and shred... with the loss of fat... i dont wana get fatter... im tryin to lose 10 lbs and then shred up and bulk

**Fade** · 07-25-2003, 12:10 PM

If you want to have a good bulk then you're not gonna be able to shred untill AFTER the bulk cycle.

I really had to read this 3 or 4 times -- are U for real??
You must be joking, Fade looks AWESOME, his muscles are so Great-- u shouldn't knock him like that..

and that was a lame lame joke about Nair..
Grow up..

Isopure is Great stuff... I recommend it to everyone...

**butterfly** · 07-25-2003, 02:55 PM

HeavyLineBacker - What fade is saying is correct! If you continue on the fat loss mode you can continue to build muscle but it won't be as significant as the muscle you would build while on a bulk.

Make sense???
