Any views on Ultimate Nutrition Prostar Whey?

Its the only protein supplement I've used, so I can't compare it to any other product.

Could I be using a better product?

Thanks

i like Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein. it's cheap and is good quailty.
it's about $55 on the net for a 4.5kg (10lbs) bag. with postage it brings it up to about 100 dollars. still nice and cheap...dunno if it's for sale in ireland.

Tried a few other and they be ok...apart from High 5 which was kak and tastied crap.

Thanks EPO MAN..any more opinions?

I have to re-stock on protein over the next couple of days..not sure whether to stick with Ultimate Nutrition or try something else. I searched the forum for references to the product, but did not find any.

Tastes fine, mixes ok..just wondering if its a good quality protein supplement?

Thanks

Cole,
That isn't a great breakdown, its high in salt, sugar as well as an amount of cholesterol and Saturated fat compared to other products. What I'd like to know is why sucrolose and Ace K are used together, thats something I'll have to find out.

Did it give a break down of its amino acid profile?
