  1. I just bought some "Instantized 100% Whey Protein" at a health food
    store, and I was wondering if someone could tell me the quality of this
    stuff. The brand name is "ON". This was the only brand (out of many)
    that actually posted the Amino Acid Profile on the container.

    AMINO ACID PROFILE (milligrams per 30.4g scoop)

    Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)
    Tryptophan 430
    Valine 1380
    Threonine 1660
    Isoleucine 1490
    Leucine 2470
    Lysine 2210
    Phenylalanine 730
    Methionine 460

    Conditonally Essential Amino Acids (CAAs)
    Arginine 470
    Cystine 530
    Tyrosine 560
    Histidine 450
    Proline 1440
    Glutamine & Precursors 3950

    Nonessential Amino Acids (NAAs)
    Asparctic Acid 2470
    Serine 1080
    Glycine 400
    Alanine 1150

    Other Info
    Biological Value (BV) 100
    Protein Digestibility (PD) 99
    Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) 3.2
    Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) 1.0

    It also says that "ON 100% Whey Protein has the highest protein
    percentage in its class."

    Math Formula: 23g of protein per serving / 30.4g serving size = 76%
    protein.

    It says, "Plug the numbers for any other protein powder into this
    equation and see for yourself."

    It was $15 for a two pound container. Is this a fair price? Thanks for
    your help!!!

    No one can tell you the quality from a post on a news group.

    It's not a car so "in its class" makes no real sense.

    Which makes it a concentrate.

    Other products can be 90% plus protein, so that makes no sense either.

    All you could ever need to know on the topic of whey types:
