    Are you a caricature, or what?

    1) Who puts steroids or banned substances in their whey? Do tell!
    2) What the hell is "overkill" on protein or amino acids? Isn't that why you want to buy it?
    3) There is very wide usage of some really crappy supplements, simply because they're backed by a
    lot of marketing money.
    4) By definition, whey protein is safe. Duh.
    5) How do you know if it "works"? Were you expecting massive gains from gulping down a few glasses
    each day? You said you didn't want steroids in it, right?

    Ha, ... Hah, Ha!

    That stuff tastes like watered down powdered milk. 🙁

    Give me natural tasting soy protein any day. At least it has a unique taste to it.

    Just thought that you might want to know. 🙂

    That's OK. For Coolman, the more hype, the more valid and reputable it is.

    Except for the non food grade whey, used to make explosives.

    No, he just wants a simple, basic, cheap whey that magically grows muscles. Ya know, like synthol
    with built in artificial intelligence. Nothing unreasonable.

    Ummm...I wouldn't go that far...there are legitimate stories of athletes who bought a supplement (OK
    likely not whey protein) and then later tested positive for a banned substance because the
    supplement they got was [allegedly] adulterated with something other than what was on the bottle
    contents. It happens. sportsci.orglmb.html

  6. Optimum Pro Complex (CHOCOLATE!!) by far is the tastiest and I'm pretty sure it meets all
    those criteria.

    My friend who runs www.empowerwellness.com has recommended it to me for quite some time. Your local
    health store should have it in stock.

  7. We (www.KiloHealth.com) currently carry Designer Whey - I prefer those
    sweetened with Stevia. We are looking to carry this one:

    Power Protein (PP) is the highest quality whey protein isolate produced through a selective ion
    exchange process. Power Protein has the highest reported (PDCAAS) Protein Digestibility Corrected
    Amino Acid Score of 1.14. The fat and lactose levels are less than 1%. PP is instantized and is sold
    with no sugar/carb, no vitamins/minerals(just nauturally occurring) and no artificial flavors. Power
    Protein has very little flavor even when mixed with plain water. Power Protein can be mixed with
    water, milk, friut juice, friut smoothies and sport drinks.

    2lbs has apx 34 25gram servings.
    1/3 cup = 25grams of protein.

    I did a google search and ended up looking at the TWO links people give AT superiormuscle.comt
    1364.html

    One is www.allthewhey.com.

    There I saw ifno about Tim Realease and just want to let you know the following info I found at

    THE PROTEIN INSIDER

    An Inside Look at the Protein Business

    by TC

    ... The following interview was conducted with someone I met a long time ago while working with EAS.
    This particular individual — who doesn't want his name revealed — works for one of the major
    manufacturers of bulk protein. In other words, his company makes protein powders for supplement
    companies who, in turn, sell them to you.

    ... T: What about the time-release proteins that are starting to come out?

    PI: Well, I'm not the world's greatest protein scientist, and protein catabolism/anabolism isn't my
    main area, but initially, a lot of lay people, or bodybuilding-type self-professed scientists,
    thought that providing a steady state of amino acids through an IV drip all day long would be great!
    You'd have the ultimate protein synthesis going on, and catabolism wouldn't exist, and you'd slowly
    evolve into this super hero thing.

    But in reality, your body's real smart, and it down-regulates — it beats you to the punch — and a
    steady stream of amino acids doesn't work after a few hours. Instead, it looks like pulse feeding —
    giving the body a shot of protein and amino acids every few hours is really the best way to go.
    Hell, I really shouldn't even say that because I'm shooting myself in the foot. A lot of companies
    want us to develop these time-released proteins for them, and we stand to make some money. So, it's
    kinda' dumb of me to say that they don't work. But, what the hell.

    Anyhow, it's probably better to go to bed after a protein meal, and have some sort of period of
    "protein deficiency" at night, so your protein response is super heightened when you break that
    fast. That's why it's important not to skip breakfast...

    "If you want the effects of slower digestion, time release, we recommend adding flax or fish oil to
    the whey. This way, you don't lose the positives of whey over casein, egg, etc."

    I like Met-Rx. I've made noticably better progress with weights by taking it twice (morning and
    evening) per day.

    ?!?!?! maybe you should look for a clue first

    Save possibly #3, every whey protein will fit that criteria. Go to GNC and buy their %100 Whey
    Protein and you'll do fine.

    When workers and probably leaders of the factory produce and pack illegally steroids and other
    forbidden compounds during night and don't clean the packing line, any compound the packing line is
    to pack the day after will mix the product to be packed with left overs from the nights production,
    and the first packages will contain probably far more steroids than the goofy things they was
    thought to contain.

    I just switched from Designer to Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey. I buy the 10 lb bags online for
    $55.95, which is slightly cheaper than Designer, plus ON is 23g/scoop as opposed to DW's
    17.5g/scoop (and yes, the scoopers (word?) are the same size). Both have full range of BCAAs,
    glutamine, etc . . .
