What is the best tasting protein you've ever used?
Muscle Milk Cookies 'n Creme for me.

ErgoPharms Rasberry Lemonade.. MyoChem Nutrition is also working on a protein right now that should be done soon. It should be one of the best tasting ones on the market.

Muscle Milk? I feel sorry for you, if your tongue is teeling your brain that, any of the American Whey proteins are way better tasting, everyone I know thinks MM has a weird after taste which it does, Its a good one but not the best.
Have you tried the ErgoPharm proteins??? They are the best tasting ones out there.

I have to agree with Chris, I was very impressed with Muscle Milk. Nectar kiwi strawberry and lemonade flavors never get old for me.

Depending on your protein needs, I would have to say for a whey isolate, Nectar is top-notch, and for a sustained release protein, I think our IsoBolic Raspberry Yogurt is in a league of it's own....

Never tried it Rodney anywhere i can get a sample?
RodneyDupont
November 19th, 2004, 05:20 PM
You can get it at DA http://www.discountanabolics.com/page/DA/PROD/NUTRABOLICS/NBIB
We are also in the process of making sample packages of each of our flavors, and Discount Anabolics will be the first retailer to receive these...so you can taste each of our flavors and see which you like the best. In terms of quality for a sustained release protein, I dont think anything compares to the triple isolate (CFM Whey Isolate, Milk Isolate from Micellar Casein and Egg Isolate) used in our IsoBolic.

Rodney,
Good to see you on the board.. I should pick some up.. Your isobolic looks good..
Terminator
November 20th, 2004, 09:17 PM
I've got to be honest here and I am sure almost everyone will agree. The desire isn't to find the best tasting protein, because they all taste like protein. I am interested in the protein that is drinkable time and time again and does the most for me. Muscle milk definately tastes good. Hell, when you have a scientist on your team dedicated to taste.....it better taste good. As far as quality though, I gotta give it up to you Rodney! That Isobolic is top notch. It is a bit more than pure whey so I use a regualar whey in the morning, but use isobolic before bed. Gotta tell ya the Mrs. doesn't approve.
AXResources
November 22nd, 2004, 01:01 PM
I agree, that is why I like the Ergopharm proteins. They are high quality, great tasting and you can take them without getting tired of them.. I do not like the taste of Muscle Milk, but that is a personal thing.. I will have to try the Isobolic for sure.. Rodney, you know I wouldn't mind a sample. wink wink.. lol

I am going to go with Biotest's GROW!, even though they have stuck with the standard chocolate and vanilla, it is a good protein, great taste. I do like the IsoBolic Raspberry Yogurt, I have to admit, it is pretty addictive. Someone metioned American Whey, I don't want to disparage, but I can tell a protein is low quality when I get terrible bloating and gas, that American Whey stuff was pretty strong on the stomach, probably was just me.

you have to take into consideration the quality of the protein....Musclemilk really isnt a good choice of protein unless you're on an extreme bulk.
If quality isnt required then I guess my favorite protein shake is a frappe :lol:

has anyone tried maximun protien by southern pharmacutics. a friend of mine gave me a bottle to try and i have to say mixed in water it is one of the best that i have ever tasted, even without milk taste like chocolate milk to me.
max von
italionstallionl
December 25th, 2004, 02:27 PM
havent tried it, or ever heard of it, but myoplex is definitely the best tasting supplement i have had. i blend it and it gets real thick and creamy. mmmmm
max von
December 26th, 2004, 12:21 AM
GNC has it as one of there new products. I have tried the eas brands and they are good. but this is by far the best tasting protien i have ever had and even taste great in just water
max von
italionstallionl
December 26th, 2004, 08:49 AM
max-gnc has southern pharmeceutics maximum protein? just wondering if that is what you are saying is the best tasting protein? how are the nutrition facts and ingredients in the gnc brand and southern pharmeceutics? thanks
dinoiii
December 26th, 2004, 05:00 PM
Biotest Grow! hands down for chocolate + vanilla.
Now, fruit flavors, I like: Syntrax's Nectar (all flavors are great), Molecular's Whey Fruity, and Primaforce's Watermelon.
Also like SAN's Chocolate Peanut Butter Infusion, but cannot eat this day in and day out.
There are many I am not fond of or that I have replaced with the aforementioned bunch. I have really been sampling for over 10 years - they keep getting better though.
max von
December 27th, 2004, 12:16 AM
italion thats where i got it have a friend who works there that gave it to me to try. Its pretty much the same as ON 100% whey but has a little more glutamine in it . Protien and BCCA are all the same

January 1st, 2005, 12:55 PM
i went to my local nutrition store and was given a few single serving samples of mrps and whey so far i have found that
naturally lean matrix cinnamon oatmeal tastes really good
champion pure whey protein stack strawberry is decent, light flavor, nothing to be unhappy with, but dont get excited about it
cytodyne cytoplex vanilla is also decent and kinda lightly flavored, blended up thicker than isopure, but thinner than myoplex
italionstallionl
January 3rd, 2005, 10:22 AM
when i was at my nut store i got other free samples. champion pure whey protein stack straw tastes really weird, somethings not right and it doesnt really taste like straw (i mixed it with milk and blended), vanilla flavor isnt great, again something tastes kinda off, but its not bad
labrada v60 choc ice cream is pretty good, nice and chocolatey
one of metrx's wheys, cant remeber the name, i think it is one of their cheaper ones, but it tastes good-choc flavor
wedgylx
January 3rd, 2005, 11:59 AM
one of metrx's wheys, cant remeber the name, i think it is one of their cheaper ones, but it tastes good-choc flavor
MetRX Supreme whey? The chocolate flavor of that tastes unreal. Kind of like a smore.

I am not a fan of Metamysin miracle mix protein blends.
italionstallionl

it was ultramyosin
dinoiii
January 3rd, 2005, 12:35 PM
WOW - its obviously been improved since the 90s
the "Ultra" must make it super-charged. They (Met-Rx) have made some poor marketing decisions over the years.
italionstallionl
January 3rd, 2005, 12:39 PM
yeah, i dont think i know of anyone who uses metrx
RodneyDupont
January 3rd, 2005, 01:42 PM
I think our IsoBolic Raspberry Yogurt is in a category of it's own for taste. It is a triple isolate, as well, composed of CFM Whey Isolate, Micellar Casein derived from Milk Isolate, and Egg Isolate, so it is the perfect sustained release protein.
We will have sample packages of our IsoBolic's by next month, and DA will be the first to get them!
italionstallionl
January 3rd, 2005, 02:15 PM
so would you suggest the isobolic for a pre bed protein?
dinoiii

Rodney -
I couldn't imagine you would be biased at all?

italionstallionl

lol, he has to represent his company, but i believe it probably does taste pretty damn good
italionstallionl
January 3rd, 2005, 02:34 PM
seems to be more of an anytime protein, like a low carb mrp or something along those lines
wedgylx
January 3rd, 2005, 02:39 PM
so would you suggest the isobolic for a pre bed protein?
it'd work but it looks lik eit might be a better mrp
dinoiii
January 3rd, 2005, 02:43 PM
Hey stallion - no doubt on the representation of his own company.
However, for that reason though, I wish if anyone that made a post from a company would offer up an option after the obligatory self-promotion (which I do not fault him for).
This would be more of an eye-opener to give hat's off to a company other than your own. I am not unrealistic though. His rationale for doing that would potentially sabotage his own profits, right --> nah ... probably lean toward more credibility.
Something like - "outside of our own ________ raspberry yogurt (which I am required to say), I would go with _________________ as a second option if I really had to." unfortunately, His notion of his protein being the best doesn't mean much - I still would have to decide that.
I will try his sample packs when they come in - I am happy he made that announcement though!
RodneyDupont
January 3rd, 2005, 03:53 PM
so would you suggest the isobolic for a pre bed protein?
IsoBolic can be taken either as a sustained release protein, in the morning or night, or as a postworkout shake, since the triple isolate formula provides a fast and slow release of aminos into the bloodsteam for the perfect anabolic and anti-catabolic state.

January 3rd, 2005, 11:41 PM
i know Rodney personally and he would never be afraid to say that another company was better if he felt that it would work better for you. If you notice he has one of the lowest post on this site of anyone he lets his company and products do the talking. But I do know what you are saying dinoiii but you know that when you come up with your product line it will be the best cause you work hard on it and its yours
max von
max von
January 3rd, 2005, 11:42 PM
I will say one thing and that is if the protien is that good that Rodney could try to drop the price cause it is a bit up there

Samples will be sent to Chris upon release, in about 10 days (i hope).
For anyone who hasnt tried the IsoBolic yet, I know you will be impressed.
dinoiii
January 5th, 2005, 02:44 PM
Do we order a certain amount of Isobolics product to get it or just put it in the code box? What other flavors are available?
dinoiii
January 5th, 2005, 02:47 PM
I know you will be impressed.
I love it. A challenge of sorts!!
Hope you realize I am happy with the fact that you stand behind your products though.
I am very hard on guys in the supplement industry. I just gave Steve a call out too that I need to get back to actually.

We stand behind all of our products, and I will put any one of our products up against a competitor's similar product!
If any competitor wants to take me up on this, why dont we do a NO Challenge? I will put up our AE2 vs. any other NO or Arginine-type pill product, and we will have a Discount Anabolics forum member be the judge...They can take AE2 first, or last, so we can prove to everyone that AE2 is the best NO product in the industry.....
Any challenegers?

whay are you so hard on the supplement makers you said that you just gave a call out to Steve i dont get it were you really ripped of by some on you trusted on a product or did a company that you trusted lie to you.
I think that you would be a good canidate for an NO test the problem is that i like to hear real word results and sometimes the stuff you talk about is hard to understand. All i want to know is can i trust the company will they be there if i need them and does there product work for a majority of people. I know that Chris cant take side but he does now what will work and not work and has tried just about everything i just relay on what he think and is always there

just wanted to let you know that i got me syntex nectur protien in tonight. I got carribiean cooler and the lemonade. I took the cooler tonight after my work out and loved it. I like pinapple so i like the taste of it in there. The only thing that i would recommend is to make the pineapple taste a little stronger otherwise mixed up really noce no foam and went down nice and smooth very good change of pace

lean dessert
cinn roll-alright, different, not something i will buy, but wasnt bad 6/10
banana nut bread-didnt like it, very strange 3/10
primaforce wpi grape-good, kinda like grape medicine, but much better, 6-7/10
whey gourmet
orange cream-good, just like the name says, creamy orange, 7/10
vanilla ice cream-again, just like the name sounds, a very good vanilla 7-8/10
whey cooler
lemon ice tea-protein should not taste like ice tea, this stuff did taste exactly like ice tea, but i didnt like it at all, but if you are a big fan of ice tea you probably will

Wow Max, I didn't see this post before. My apologies for not responding. My "call out" to Steve was not at the time what you think. See, that is the problem with someone not accustomed to Gangsta trying to speak the language at the time. :lol:
As far as a company I had trusted. Yes, Yes, Yes however the two are not related. I mean stick around long enough in the industry, I am convinced you will get burned and unfortunately, there is a reason that was NOT disclosed as to why when I told you I attempted totry to begin a company years ago why I did not - there was a timinig issue, but obviously there was more than that - that I will leave alone for now.
And again, the "real world" argument. I maintain that 80% of "results" are solely perception - I do not say supplements are bad if employed correctly....again - do you think I would be here? I do find it a shame that you are not more wary about what you ingest - but again it is your entitlement for whatever.
Supplement companies are allowed a sigh of relief...I am not out to "get anyone" - I certaily don't have that kind of time. In the same breath however, I need to know the science for my own particular rationale...if people want to learn what's going on with a product they ingest then they can be entertained minimally by my plight and decide based on REALITY NOT the "REAL WORLD."
9/10 people you hear post positive results on forums are tough to follow max, because they too tend to be behind a particular company. I probably have access to more real people taking supplements than most people could imagine in the clinic daily and I can tell you that their results certainly do not show me they are impressed with a company's supps (in contrast to what is preached on forums). And that being said I will not post what they are taking per se, but allow companies an opportunity to defend their products. Hell - if it isn't an issue, there should be no problem with the defense, right (ask Bill W.) I am NOT here for some motive other than to learn more, educate, and aid in people reaching their physique goals.

If you want a great tasting protein, just wait until we release Anabolic Protein. We have had the formulation done for 5 months now, we have just been working on the flavoring ever since. % months later, and 5 different flavoring companies leter, last weekend we FINALLY have found a blend that we feel is some of the best tasting protein out there. Onviously feedback will tell, but both Eric and I have tried every protein under the sun, and when we finally got to this sample, we were both like "WOW!" So I am really excited to have these coming out soon. We will only have vanilla and chocolate, but I think you will all really like them!

lean body vanilla is good, but not as good as myoplex
low carb lean body chocolate is just like chocolate milk, very tastey
lean body breakfast apple cinnamon oatmeal was very good and thick, better than the other two, i liked it a lot
