#1 protein?

[JLestar]

Ive tried pro complex and liked it, but was wondering if theres anything better? I bought a small tub of nitro tech and trying tot finish it ASAP, so i need to look around for a new protein and was wondering which one is considered the best. Thanks

I like syntrax nectar or molecular nutrition's whey fruity

[Kingdime1332]

I definitely agree with Wedg Syntrax Necter is what I love. My favorite flavor is Fuzzy Navel. GH Pro by Ergo is a close second though just because the Raspberry Lemonade was pretty damn good tasting too.

[dinoiii]

I did not like the Ergo Green Apple one.

The question I have is are we confining the discussion to whey's (ie. - non-casseinates)?

[italionstallionl]

2 of my friends just got samples from ergo, they both like the apple the best, then cherry, ras lem, and orange were pretty even--for them

i have only had the ras lemon and orange, i liked them both, but the ras lemon was a little better imo.

i want to try the blueberry and pineapple/mango

[snakemw]

my two favorites for protein are isobolic and isopure. to me the isopure taste better but the isobolic has more stuff than just whey in it.

[beachbum]

As far as taste, I really like GF Pro, it is just EXPENSIVE! I heard they were comming out with a 5 pounder tho, so it may be more affordable

Have you tried our Raspberry Yogurt?
IT is by far my favorite flavor....

i liked vanilla better than raspberry

[pbk]

I agree about the Isobolic being very good quality. I really liked it and mainly used it for night time drink, but sometimes during the day as well. It's very good quality but a little on the pricey side for me, so I cannot always afford to keep it in stock.

ErgoPharm GF-Pro is even a little more pricey. I have tried it in the cherry and orange flavor and the cherry is good, but overall, preferred the orange. Never have bought anymore after those two because of the price. I sometimes question some of these products....what are you actually getting for the price. THe GF-Pro states it is Whey Protein Isolate (WPI), produced by a proprietary microfiltration process, but it does NOT say that it is the CFM, which is trademarked, and the best form. Also, how much of the bovine serum is actually in the product. You notice that they don't give you the breakdown. Is it enough to be effective and justify the cost? I don't know. You can buy that stuff separately and add it to your protein....then you know what the actual cost is and how much you are getting, since you add it yourself.

I have tried the CytoSport Muscle Milk in vanilla and orange creme. Again, pricey, but slightly less than the two mentioned above. I liked both of those and at first really thougt they were very good....but near the end, I noticed that this protein seemed to give me indigestion, more than others, so I have not bought anymore. Not sure why, unless it has something to do with having more lactose than others.

Have used Next Proteins Designer Whey in the past, but not recently....but I really liked it and think that it is still one of the best tasting and best deals for the $$. 5 lbs for $25 ain't bad and I never got indigestion from it. Hmmm, I might have to get some more of that stuff...good for us lifters on a tight budget.

[shuttaLCD]

My most favorite protein i would have to say is the EAS MyoPro whey..Good price about $5 per pound..I perssonally like the Strawberry flavor..It is the best protein i have taken with Milk and Water...I have tried the Isobolic or Isopure but i will probably give them a try later on..

I want to try GF pro but i cant see it giving results worth the money.

Isobolic is good for a snack or combined with a bagel is a meal, but i wouldnt use it post workout or before bed. Isobolic is a great protein to have with breakfast because it ends catabolism quickly and also will stay in your system for a couple hours.

Musclemilk would be a little better choice before bed, but i dont like getting that much fat before i go to sleep-even if they are "good fats". I use that for MRP with fish oil or flax.

[max von]

I would have to say syntrex nectur and nutrobolic rasberry yougurt are my favorites

i agree with you hear - for a basic whey protein this is my choice

i also like optimum's cookies and cream as well as musclle milk choc peanut butter and rocky road - i notice this does make me full though because of the fat content and i have experienced slight indigestion with muscle milk as well, especially if the shake is thick

[snakemw]

i havent tried the rasberry yogurt but the vanillla isobolic is pretty good. i am not real big on rasberries. does it taste like rasberries or just got a berry taste to it?

[wedgylx]

i liked vanilla alot better, probably because im not entirely fond of rasberry either

C'mon guys, yall know NitroTech is America's #1 protein!

[max von]

lol

max

[italndiesel]

C'mon guys, yall know NitroTech is America's #1 protein!

you are right, that will turn me into Greg Kovacs and his 24 inch arms and allow me to bench 495 for reps LOL, gotta love the ads

i recently tried Intrapro by Gaspari, mixes pretty easily and doesn't upset the stomach either

diesel keep me posted on that, with results on the other product that i tried i would like to see how this works for you

[caniplaywith_madness]

all the nectar flavors taste good id seems like every new flavor i try tastes better than the one before. right now im on crystal sky. to me it tastes like bubble gum. isobolic tastes good for a casein.

[dinoiii]

wow stallion...they really liked the apple GF Pro. I loved the cherry flavor, but the apple clumped up pretty bad and I thought there was something terribly wrong with having to chew up a drink post being mixed. It tasted pretty bad in my opinion as well.

I did like the Nectar Green Apple flavor though.

GF Pro Blueberry is not sold on DA unfortunately as I am interested in trying this product too - perhaps Chris could comment if this will become available here at any point.

Nutrabolics - tried the Chocolate and Rasp Yogurt appx 2 DA orders ago and like the Chocolate>Rasp Yogurt unfortunately Rodney.

I think a lot of it has to do with taste buds here based on what I am reading and even my own personal experience. What do you guys think?

[wedgylx]

Dinoii, when I tried all three, i liked vanilla the best then probably chocolate then raspberry.

[snakemw]

i have not tried any of the other flavors but i like the vanilla. it taste alot different from any other vanilla i have ever had though.

[caniplaywith_madness]

what are peoples favorites on casein protein? casein doesnt taste as good as whey. the only one ive tried is isobolic raspberry and vanilla and theyre ok but as far is my taste pref not nearly as good as nectar. oh ive also tried a pure casein without any whey in it. it was also without sweetener and flavor. i didnt buy it at da. it was the most godawful taste but it was not recommended to take alone which i didnt. you add like a heaping tablespoon to your regular shake. still, even though it was a tbs it tasted bad.... i like the slow digestion of casein but the taste is not great.

so what im asking is there a casein that tastes better than isobolic vanilla or rasp?

[Trans_Isomer]

I just got some GF Pro today and tried the green apple. It tasted pretty good, its the best tasting protein ive ever tried. Ive also got raspberry lemonade, orange cream and cherry. Ill try those out and let you guys know how they taste.

remember isobolic is mostly whey!

VPX micellean chocolate tastes kind of bad (pure casein)

Dorian Yates Propeptide vanilla tastes good but still has the chaulky casein flavor

[snakemw]

vpx micellan is pretty good. i have had the berry and it mixes decent with a spoon and water. i have to say that is my second favorite but i like isobolic vanilla the best.

[max von]

I tied a really good casien protien at the arnold, it is not sold on here yet as they are a newer company. Hopefully they will catch on cause it was really good. Other then that vpx is pretty good

max von

[caniplaywith_madness]

thanks ill have to try some of those then.

[Trans_Isomer]

I just tried GF Pro's raspberry lemonade flavor, yuck! It just taste like any other strawberry flavored protein ive had before.

[italionstallionl]

trans, i feel bad you dont like it, sorry bro. i figured everyone would, i have let numerous people take a sip of mine and they have all loved it. sorry, i feel bad for recommending it :cry:

[Trans_Isomer]

trans, i feel bad you dont like it, sorry bro. i figured everyone would, i have let numerous people take a sip of mine and they have all loved it. sorry, i feel bad for recommending it :cry:

Its cool! I dont really like regular raspberry juice anyway. I thought that the "lemonade" part would make a difference. Its not too bad, just that I wouldnt ever buy that flavor again. So far ive tried the Green apple and the raspberry lemonade, to me apple taste soo much better.

[Trans_Isomer]

I just tried CytoSport's Cytogainer Cookies n Creme flavor. It was good! It tasted like melted french vanilla ice cream. Its pretty sweet though, thats about the only negative I have towards it. It only has like 5 grams of sugar in a serving, but it tastes really sweet like it has 70. Its a really good deal with 56g of protein per serving, with 3g of creatine (pharma grade!), and i think about 85g of good carbs. You can get 6lb for like 28 bucks. Its a really good deal, good formula, and great taste. Other proteins and gainers ive tried before clump up (Prolab advanced whey protein... ewwww) but cytogainer istantly mixes all the way up in a few shakes in a shaker bottle. I give this product an A+

[snakemw]

trans do you think cytogainer would be ok to use for a mrp. trying to add some mass and it has a lot of calories. as well as slow burning carbs and alot of protein.

[snakemw]

i was also going to ask how long it takes whey protein to get used? i know that is what cytogainer has in it, but if it takes around two hours to totally breakdown then it will last until my next meal.

[wedgylx]

Whey takes approximately 1.5 hours to be totally digested, or so I've read

[Trans_Isomer]

trans do you think cytogainer would be ok to use for a mrp. trying to add some mass and it has a lot of calories. as well as slow burning carbs and alot of protein.

I think Cytogainer would be an excellent choice. It has lots of calories, slow digesting complex carbs, creatine, and 56g of protein. It has no simple sugars, no fructose, no sucrose. It says on the label "Just highly complexed maltodextrins from corn hybrids, specifically designed to give you a "time-released" energy effect."
"No insulin spikes, just a stable, strong, truly anabolic environment enhanced with pharmaceutical grade creatine to drive growth nutrients into your thirsty muscles."
I like how it even says that this supp isnt the end-all to weight lifting like others that says "GET HUGE NOW!" or "TRAIN LIKE A FREAK!" it just says this:
"Dense, Full, Hard muscles takes primarily 3 things:
1. Protein-Quality aminos and lots of them
2.Carbs-Comples, quality carbs, and lots of them, too!
3. A LOT OF HARD WORK"

It also has a vitamin and mineral complex added to it. This would make a great MRP. I bring a ziplock bag with me of it to work so I can have a meal while im running around and only have a few minutes at a time to sip on something. I REALLY, like how it mixes instantly within a few shakes. For the price too, 27.95 for 6lbs. This product would defintely help you to add mass and calories snake.

[snakemw]

thanks trans. have you tried their strawberry flavor? i am not really into cookies and cream.

[Trans_Isomer]

The only one ive tried is cookies n creme. I myself am actually not a big strawberry flavor person. I know a few other people who have tried more flavors out and they say there all good.

[dinoiii]

Again, going to have to say that taste buds dictate or I got a very shitty tub of Green Apple GF Pro.

Nonetheless, top 3 caseins that taste better than some whey blends to me:

(1) Ultra Peptide by Xtreme FOrmulations

(2) Driver by HSN

(3) Lo-Carb Grow! (new casein-dominate blend) from Biotest

Perhaps this is a cry out to Chris as I am not aware of ANY of them being sold here.

[caniplaywith_madness]

ok i finally got a nectar flavor that i do not like. carribean cooler does NOT taste very good. i hate to waste it but i dont know if i can drink this stuff.

[pbk]

Subject Title....#1 protein?

#1. New York Strip Steak cooked to perfection.

Coming in at 2nd, 3rd, 4th
2. Any really good fresh fish steak or fillet, especially fresh Salmon from Alaska.
3. Turkey hamburger or skinned chicken breast.
4. I love a lean center cut pork loin now and then, but low fat cottage cheese is probably a better choice.

Nothing beats the real thing. Nuff said.

[Kingdime1332]

I just tried GF Pro's raspberry lemonade flavor, yuck! It just taste like any other strawberry flavored protein ive had before.

Really Trans, I tried the Raspberry Lemonade and loved it. My second favorite behind Nectar's Fuzzy Navel.

ok i finally got a nectar flavor that i do not like. carribean cooler does NOT taste very good. i hate to waste it but i dont know if i can drink this stuff.

I think that is my third favorite flavor behind Fuzzy and the GH Pro Raspberry. To each his own I guess.
