I've always wondered this. Does it?

No.

You'd have to take like a bottle of pills to get a serving of protein. It would make no sense.

It is available but it is absolutely pointless. The people buying it (in my experience) are getting ripped off. I had one old guy that though it would increase his GH.

Hmmm... I wonder if anyone would buy pills the size of a golf ball...


I think I could make some money off of this idea!

The bigger the pill the better right?! If the popularity of the AnimalPak products (BIG ASS HORSE PILLS!) are any indication, my golf ball size protein pills would be flying off the shelves!

hypothetically, you could cap it yourself, but it would be extremely time consuming and not worth it.

They make BCAAs in pill form, but I don't that's what you're talking about.

...and would have to swallow 35 pills for the equivalence of one shake.

I wonder how much pure protein is in one scoop of protein powder? As in if you took out all of the flavoring, etc.

80-90%. Just take divide the protein in grams by the total weight of the serving .

I shudder to think how much money I spent on free-form amino tabs in the late 80s and early 90s...
