Did I make the right choice? Whey Protein... Wanksta23 come in!

[praise the x i]

I'm on week 2 of P90X and wanted to incorporate protein into my diet. I was torn between Isopure, Syntha 6 and generic whey protein. After talking to theclerk and not knowing much about it myself I decided on the generic whey protein. It was cheapest and most simple. Has about 18 grams of protein and 100calories. Did I make a good choice?

It's our Whey or the highway! Whey is a popular protein choice not only for bodybuilders and people on high protein diets, but for those looking for aquick, easy-to-use nutritional drink. As a natural by-product of milk, Whey is positively loaded with strength-building protein, which plays a role in optimalnutrition.* Whey contains branched chain amino acids - made up of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine - which are important components of muscle tissue.* Whey alsocontains immunoglobulins and lactoferrin - natural compounds that support healthy immune system function.* Precision Engineered Whey Protein is a premium wheyprotein containing a full spectrum glycomacropeptide complex, and provides exceptional nourishment designed for those who expect only the best in a nutritionaldrink.

Vanilla taste real good, 24g of protein per serving... Mixes well with peanut butter and bananas...

I payed $17.99 that's why I saw it as a good deal.

18 g of protein isn a whole lot when it comes to powdered whey, but its exremely difficult to go "wrong" with a brand of whey.

Its not the "best" whey supplement, but itll still help you and for the price you get what you buy.

I'm using optimum 100% whey gold standard in double rich chocolate. imo that's the best one out now. Tastes pretty good and it has 24g of protein. Andlike someone above me said it mixes pretty well.

Can anyone recommend me some other good flavors? I want to try banana cream or vanilla

 

[praise the x i]

I might return it and get Isopure. The reviews for isopure are insane. And I feel like this will only bulk me up...

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

I use Jay Robb Whey Protein. They're not 100% free from rBGH, but it's closeenough for me. Tastes very good too.

 

[joseph camel jr]

Get a whey protein isolate. ON Gold Standard is a very popular choice.

/thread.

So should I return mine?

 

[joseph camel jr]

I would return it and buy the ON 100% Whey from bodybuilding.com unless you can't go a few days without shakes.

 

[imrichboy]

my top choices

 

[joseph camel jr]

Those proteins aren't even comparable. Syntha-6, for example, is a casein-based protein used for pre-bedtime shakes, because of its slow release time.

OP needs a whey protein isolate shake for post-workout.

You certainly didnt "waste" your money.

The differences in each brand are very small and theyre all basically the same product (assuming you know what youre looking for. Ex: whey isolate vscasein...that sort of thing.)

If you compare product labels the differences are minor.

Yeah honestly that's probably a smart idea. P90X isn't even a bulking program, it's like an overall fitness routine so it won't make that bigof a difference. Get the ON next time but yeah no big.

I just bought 6 things on bb.com, I'm a supp addict these days

Got this because it sounded tasty. I'll let you guys know how it is when it comes (5 day shipping I think)

Rocky road! Could be delicious or disgusting. I'm getting tired of vanilla ice cream though, that's what my last two 4.6 lb tubs were.

 

[mateen cleaves]

Been hearing Rocky Road is very good

 

[in yo nostril]

i took isopure when i used to lift in college. it tastes like crap but mixes well so keep that in mind. worst protein i have ever tasted.
