Thread: Protein Powder

hmmm some of my favs:
Allmax Isoflex in chocolate
NX Care IsoXP in caramel
SANS Infusion in both caramel and chocolate pb
BioX power whey in chocolate, strawberry
Nectar in caribean cooler(once in a while)
BioTest Low Carb GROW in chocolate

I like the Nectar Lemon flavored one, but usually go with ON as well but can't stand the strawberry.

But am about out, so should be interesting to see what everybody else uses/likes.

Hey Jen - are all the Low Carb GROW powders good?? Or just the chocolate? I am not a chocolate fan (I know, not really a girl ), but I would like LC powder because I need the protein, not the carbs.

My daily protein is Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex. I also use Syntrax Nectar, various flavors (have not tried one that I didn't like).

hey girlie-all the protein powders that I menioned are low carb
the low carb grow is good in vanilla too. its got added vitamins like a MRP (thats why they call it grow-yet its lower carb..go figure.. haha)

do you like caramel flavours? NxCare's caramel is real good!

LOVE caramel! Will give those both a try. THANKS!

then you will LOVE IsoXP! I do!!!! its a good change to regular kinds

How do you drink it?? When I was taking ON Whey, I blended it w/frozen strawberries and water. I am really sensative to taste, but would like something more portable.

I just mix it with water. you can use a shaker cup even and pre-measure it before you head out. add ice water and shake!

Right on!

i have got to try these strawberry cheesecake flavors and caramel flav. boring borring borrrrring vanilla and choc sometimes fuel my oatmeal. somebody loan me 10 bucks so i can try one of the pvl protein powders.

Well, I got boring Vanilla LC Grow, they didn't have the IsoXP at my local supp store!

It's good, I'll have to try it w/oatmeal.

darn!! maybe its only available in Canada- hmmm Ill look into that!

glad you liked the Grow! even if it was vanilla you ended up with!

i bumped the 'favorite protein powder " for you to look at. or contribute to once you start sampling.

Thanks MM!

I liked the vanilla Grow

Do any of you use it in oatmeal?? Does it work...any tricks?

Dave Drapers Bombers Blend is great, and your supporting a pretty cool legend! I also love beverly Internationals Ultra size. Good Luck!

Personally, Nitro-Tech works the best for me. I know, a lot of fillers, but I believe the formulation is very conducive to increased mass/decreaced fat. Sometimes the hype is true. ON for mepersonally, is just to unrefined. Makes me wonder if they6 have any isolate in there at all. If moneys no object, go Nitro. It works.

optimum is my fav. nitro-tech is overpriced and is the worst thing i've ever tasted in my life. rather have brocoli flavored optimum.

Taste. Is that why your taking protein? Hmmph. Silly me. I thought it was for effectiveness. And as far as price goes, no investment, no return.....'nuff said.

i tried nitro tech and it didn't do anything different then optimum. so nitro tech is overpriced. big investment, no return...'nuff said.

"it didn't do anything" What did you ex0pect? an inch on your arms? Bottom line is ON is much harder on the GI than Nitro, as many in the know will attest. That alone signifies better bioavailability of amino acids. That alone is worth the price. And as far as your observations go, I respectfully disagree. I have tried just about every powder under the sun, and I certainly yield the best nitrogen retention off of the Tech. Perhaps it's not the whey that isn't working. Perhaps it's your resolve.

i think is nitro tech is probably better than optimum but too me the difference is negligible. I might have a biased opinion becuase i dislike muscletech due to there outrageous advertising claims. I won't buy anything from muscletech and syntrax for that matter because of that bullshit with babsiegirl.

Hey man, I agree with you about the ads. It's like, enough already!. But when I buy ON, and pass the 20 or 40 grams i just ingested right into the toilet, "shitting my money away" takes on a whole new meaning. I unno. I just know what works for me. To each his own.

excuse me, 23 or 46 grams....can't for get the extra 3 per serving!

makes all the difference.

now i know why your name is elitist.

quite befitting? Don't you think, "Berserker"

wow, this is the first i've ever gotten into an arguement with a newbie.
