BSN SYnthia 6

Turbo_diesel

Was thinking of getting this & using it to replace my current whey protein has anyone on here used it before? Is it any use? Heard its a slow release protein so is it better not using this post workout & just sticking to a regular whey?

i'm sponsored by a nutrition shop and have used alot of different proteins, Syntha 6 is all i will ever use ever again, it is blended to taste nice too which helps:D cookies and cream flavour is the best i've ever had, i will never take a different protein shake other than cookies and cream Syntha 6

best tasting protein out there!

Definately one of the best tasting but has got quite a high carb content.

I think OPtimum nutrition is better. Their version of Cookies and Cream is nice too or alternatively Dymatize make quality protein. The butter toffee flavour is nice.

Yeah I'm a fan of syntha 6, it's the best tasting protein there is. After a while, you get sick (well I do) of that processed whey flavouring - with syntha 6, I can drink it easily with either milk or water. Both are equally as nice.

My understanding is that it's a combo of slow and quick releasing proteins, so you get your instant "hit" and then have a steady flow over the next few hours, generally I'll take protein with water straight after a workout because it's faster than milk at absorbing into your body, then before bed I'll take some with milk so it release's itself over night at a slower rate. Think I read about that in Mens Health so if someone wants to back me up or prove me wrong on that feel free.

As for Syntha 6, I've tried a few different brands / mixes and find it great never had any complaints, compared to other brands which either gave me flatulence or left me feeling bloated. Flavourwise I'd go with Vanilla (don't have a sweet tooth) love it post workout with a spoon of coffee thrown in.

Generally from my experience BSN tend to making quality product's.

+1 on the dynamatize, gorgeous stuff, i find the synth 6 horribly sugary myself..

Sytna 6 is the shizzle!

just works out more pricey than most whey

I got it as I didnt wanna spend 45 euro on bulk whey that I couldnt drink cos the taste was so bad, but I found a nice alternative

I remember the guy in the Supp shop sayin S6 is made up of different proteins, as opposed to just whey, so you absorb more of it

ok, and where do you buy it for reasonable price?

Cheers for the info lads reckon I'll try it out along with some creatine monohydrate
