    Kinetica tastes lovely and is a far better product compared to most in terms of protein v carbs v fats IMO. I reckon it'll take over the irish Market in the next year or two.

    Obviously taste is personal so phone them and ask for a taster sachet to check it out

    go here www.myprotein.co.uk , get yourself a 5lb tub of true whey €34

    you would have to pay customs on anything bought from the US.

    Myprotein do a rice protein as well if thats what you want

    Discount below>>>>>> :D

    do you follow a vegan diet? If not, ordinary whey protein is a whole lot cheaper than that. If so, MyProtein have a number of other plant-based proteins you could look at

    I didnt say Kinetica was good value, i said it tastes lovely and is better than most others.
    How is Nut X a better product?

    By the way, I love Nut X too and have used pro x a lot of the last few years

    Tried some Kinetica protein today in a sample. Im not sure about nutritional info on it or anything but its definately the best tasting protein shake I've ever had if thats worth anything, which im sure it isnt :pac:

    Where can you get the smaple to try it out?

    I find Kinetica Whey does not mix as well as Gold Standard Whey, even using a blender. And it is dearer for the amount that you get.

    the taste is grand though - all natural flavours.

    the Kinetica recovery products are nice. really helps after a game or hard field training session

    Kinetica can mix a bit gritty. Ive used it but cant compare it to anything else. It did tend to turn my stomach, and I have a half a tub of strawberry I just cant stomach anymore, even the smell gets to me now.

    +1 on myprotein, really is the only way to go imo. I can't understand why you'd buy supps in Ireland if you have the means to order from myprotein.

    Besides whole food http://www.myprotein.co.uk/products/milk_protein_smooth is my main protein source.

    i drive by this place 5x per week on my way to IPG and its definitly closed down.

    I happened to be in a supplement shop in galway a few months ago when the Kinetica rep
    happened to walk into the shop and i managed to blag a few fistful of samples from him.

    their whey protein isnt great tasting in my opnion bu the recovery stuff is good.

    I recently bought a tub of Kinetica Chocolate flavour protein.
    its not bad but it tastes "synthetic"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    nothing wrong with the supplement factory either. 29.99 for 5lbs whey.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    online.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,370 ✭✭✭cmyk


    Is it just me or do I keep looking at the wrong thing on myprotein, I've never figured why people say it's so cheap? I get a 10lb bag of ON whey for 79.99 delivered.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    Where'd you get that? Was it on special offer?

    despite all the Kinetica flavourings being 100% natural, unlike other brands
    I randomly met a Kenetica rep in a Molloys pharmacy down the country and he told me this...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    Natural flavourings doesn't necessarily mean that the flavouring derived from anything you would recognise as natural...
