A new challenger!! (of sorts)

Ooohhh.... from the Brochure I seen in Image Gym, it seems ABC Nutrition have set up this new company to sell supps. I'd assume they'll launch the same line that they supplied Nutrition X with before the source changeover.

Thoughts??

While this stuff is not flavoured

Its hard to beat 32 euro + shipping for 11lbs of whey

The Complete Supplement site has flavoured whey at 55 euro for 6lbs.

Now fair enough the "Complete Whey" is concentrate isolate and hydrolysate as opposed to just concentrate of the bulk powder stuff. Plus its flavoured so quite convenient.

If it is the NutritionX product rebranded then its a fine product which I enjoyed using.

Still you pay your money and make your choices.

I'm clearly a tight bastard

Haha, well considering I'm going to order stuff from MyProtein.co.uk soon, I'm jumping on that bandwagon!

Prices seem to be the same that the old Nut X one's were too, so I guess they are just rebranded.

As an aside, anyone know what MyProtein's stuff is like?

Supps factory is quite a bit cheaper no?

They are but anyone I know of who's tried their stuff has found it crap. To be fair, a good few people on here like them, and a few don't. But personally... complete waste of money. They are cheap, but their stuff was (in my opinion and experience) absolute sh!te.

In what sense? I think ON strawberry tastes slightly nicer and Suppfactory is a little gritty, but that's the only difference. Have you had the whey tested in a lab? Its whey, it comes from cheese production, its no different to any other basic whey product. Isolate is a different matter, but I really don't know why you think its absolute sh1te.

First of all, it mixed poorly, especially the casein. There's also the fact that it ran through me... played havoc with the old digestive system.

This happened me, one of my mates, and I've seen people post about the same thing on here.

Now, nutritionally I'm sure its sound... but if its that much bother in every other sense, I'd rather spend a few extra quid and not spend half the day on the toilet.

And your tone is a bit off matey - I'm well aware of what whey protein does (along with most supps) and I'm also well aware that the Supp Factory just wasn't up to the usual standards I'm used to from other companies.

brianthebard

I don't think my tone is off, you said its absolute sh1te but acknowledge that its nutritionally sound-these two statements are incompatible. A lot of people aren't sure about supplements as it is without people firing out statements to the effect of your earlier one. Personally I think the suppfactory whey is fine, cheap and cheerful and does the job. Anything beyond a personal dislike of the product would require some sort of evidence to back it up, which you didn't provide.

Fine and cheerful are hardly scientifically backed up statements regarding the quality though, are they? At least no more so than my personal opinion, which is it's cheap, lumpy and sends me to the loo far too much for comfort.
I kinda figure that with all the extra loo paper I was buying, I was as well to get a product that tasted decent and made my bowels happy too :pac:

Guess we'll agree to differ.

I wouldn't touch this stuff.

Stick with NutX if you're buying Irish.

As far as I know, this is the crowd who supplied Nutrition X before the changeover... remember how people raved about it all the time til the changeover? Then people claimed the taste changed? Well the was this company (ABC Nutrition) who supplied Nut X back in the old days. So they might well be worth looking into if the quality is as it was back then.

Without revealing details...

There's more to "quality" than taste. What you've described above is why I'll stick with NutX.

Like he said, this IS Nutrition X (the old one). When nut x changed flavours, thats when the changeover occured and ABC went out on their own effectively just changed the branding. The flavours are almost identical and the nutritional values are identical. Everyone knows Nut X quality has suffered for some time now and this is a perfectly viable alternative.

Blacktie.

I use whey protein from the supplement factory and figure it tastes alright. Its drinkable anyway and it doesn't run through me either. This is still decent quality stuff though ye? I am getting wat it says on the box like?

Sporty25

AlphaMale 3OO

Its around the level of the old Nut X, which to most people is good.

Sporty25
