What is gaspari like ? I can get a stack with protein, pre workout, bcaa, creatine and i think glutamine for €100.

Gaspari protein tastes good. In terms of effect, I can't say it is more or less effective than any other brand I've tried. Can anyone?

What's the Impact Whey Protein like off MyProtein? It's 15% off the Cookies and Cream flavour for March which means €60 for 5kg, which is pretty hard to turn down! Have been using Reflex stuff of late (it was on offer with HP Nutrition), which I've found to be pretty good.

I've only tried the unflavoured impact whey but it mixes easily and does the job. Can't say what the flavours are like, with a shot. **** the taste for that value!

With any brand to really decide if they are good or bad you would need to try few products/flavours. And that would be about taste. How efficient they are might be another thing.

I personally love chocolate flavour in scitec nutrition blend whey.

Research:
Bulkpowders.ie
PURE WHEY PROTEIN™ 22.9G per 30g serving
Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey 24.3G per 30g serving

Can anyone post up a review of the pure whey protein from bulk powders.ie because it is unbelievably cheap

I heard that there's a price increase coming soon. This is going to make ON Whey even more outrageously priced! Anyone else hear this?

No, it's not.

Some of the other products listed are Whey Protein Concentrate as opposed to whey protein isolate. Still a whole lot cheaper than the tub I saw in the window of Holland and barrett (2lbs for €44.99) :eek:

Holland & Barrett for protein is like a garage for groceries.

You don't need isolate, if you do, see you in the September in the Olympia.

H&B are robbing fcukers. Just get what's the best value- MyProtein, Bulk Powders.

Isolate can be digested a lot easier and is lower in lactose so can help people in that sense. The whole "OMG IT GETS DIGESTED SO MUCH QUICKER I WANT IT AS HYDROLYSED AND ISOLATISED AS POSSIBLE" however is a load of bollocks and is just marketing

I just remember years ago some of the cheaper ones had over powering flavour, and didn't dissolve particularly well. I remember the protein from "TMOF" being really hard to dissolve on the other hand they did great Gaba.

Bulkpowders Choc Cookie = job done. Great tasting, cheap whey.

If you don't like chocolate whey, berries & cream is pretty nice. Like raspberry ripple ice cream or Eton mess.

But for the majority of the population it's just a money racket. Agree about digestion though.

I love people who say they buy isolate due to bloating then when you read their meal plan they're drinking it with milk lol

That's exactly it. They're clueless and think isolate will be the cure.

DominicKid · 23-03-2014 08:40PM

What type of protein should i buy to reduce bloating even if i take milk with it? Isolate ?

RidleyRider · 23-03-2014 09:50PM

Don't have milk. Have water. And if it's that bad to have a concentrate whey, get isolate. Only if it's crazy bloating though.

And actually maybe try different brand. One of my friends had bloating problem with ON. Last week he bought gold from Fitness Authority and says all problems gone.

Some brands are loaded with sugary ****e to make them taste so good.

Sticking to what's simple is usually best.

DominicKid · 24-03-2014 06:31PM

I switched from Optimum health ultimate whey protein -> Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Whey Protein
Optimum health ultimate whey protein:
CONS:
Taste = crap, very sugary, impossible to mix properly by coil shaker / fork, bloating moderate
I really don't think there is 21g of protein per 30g in that bag.
PROS:
Cheap
Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Whey Protein
CONS:
Bloating moderate, high cost, Still small lumps when mixing around 250ml with whole milk
PROS:
Tastes good, good amount of BCAAS and l-glutamine

I might now move to Bulkpowders.ie and buy some : PURE WHEY PROTEIN™
Europe's best value Whey Protein
Premium Whey Protein Concentrate
82% protein + Glutamine & BCAA
