Um, I posted here first, you then posted after me... who's doing the stalking?
Yeah I know, pretty novel idea isn't it. You should give it a try sometime.
That one's easy. You pay $53 for a paltry 20 servings. Ingredients include an average whey product. You think for this price it should at least be all isolate but what you get is primarily concentrate. Even ON is slightly better by including more isolate than concentrate. Maltodextrin is included but you realize that dirt is more expensive than this stuff, unless of course it's in Maximus. And don't forget that malto may be fine for pre-/post-workout but it's something you want to avoid the rest of the time. I'm wondering how much I'm being charged for that cocoa? And spare me on the flaxseed oil. I'll use my own where the freshness is validated by the press date on the bottle... oh wait, you're telling me that this isn't done with Maximus? But then again how could it since it's blended with all the other kitchen sink ingredients. Casein and egg protein, not exactly rare supps there and very affordable when purchased in isolation and in bulk. And let's not forget the whopping 2g of Microlactin that you wanted me to touch upon. Considering that I can get 100g of Microlactin from NOW Foods for $10 doesn't really support your cause. Of course the last time I checked I didn't have osteoarthritis so I'm not really seeing the need for Microlactin in the first place (see my post
here if you need the details).
But here's the bottom line: if you want a high calorie drink then hit the recipe section of any quality anabolic nutrition site. Why the hell would you blow this much money for a container of food additives when you could be eating/drinking actual food?
