Which Supplement company do you trust?

[Marcel]

With all this talk about supplement companies making false claims and not dosing their supplements properly...which supplement company do you trust the most? Which supplement company have you had no problems with?

I can just see the supplement companies saying something like "***** them(customers) if we fill this protein tub with half-protein and half filler...they wont find out!" Seriously though who has sent a tub of protein out to get it tested to see if in fact there is 22 g protein or watever the clain on the jug may be per scoop? i DONT THINK I can truly trust any companies anymore.

Time to go cook some chicken and steak. Laterz.

I like "The Vitamin shoppe"

[Tryska]

actually supp brands?

jarrow, and MRM.

[Blood&Iron]

Avant Labs and Ergopharm. That's about it.

Half the supplements I take are probably powdered seaweed for all I know. Supplement companies are some of the most dishonest/shady entities on this planet. They make Enron look reputable.

[Marcel]

Yea which supplement company do you trust most?

[breeze]

I like the vitamin shoppe brand products, because they claim that their products are ultra pure ( yeah, I know ) and their labels usually have more information about the contents than most other brands. Also because they are a vertical intergrated company, I think they have more to lose if they put out a bad product than the other supps companies.

[Spiderman]

I trust these guys...

ProLab
Labrada
Optimum Nutrition
EAS
Beverly International


Those are the main ones that I would buy from. I really only purchase stuff from the first two due to money issues though. ;)

[tony touch]

eas, some cytodyne, some twinlab, designer whey, met-rxx, champion nutrition,

and some others

[MonStar1023]

EAS, Cytodyne, Designer, Twinlab, some Pro Performance, Vitamin Shoppe

... A few others too. Just classic supplement brands that dont have a bad reputation.

:cool::cool:

[Qea]

Muscletech
hahah right! :moon:

Optimum, EAS, Supplement Direct, and more but I use these

Twinlab too. Their stuff might not be hot, but if the label says its there, its there.

[nate allan]

What is your guys opinion on ABB products? I got alot there sample products at the arnold expo.

[MonStar1023]

What do you guys think of MHP products? Like TRAC, etc.? Or VPX Sports?

:cool::cool:

Personally, I don't really trust either of these companies, but they each have a product or two that looks good enough on paper that I use them(VPX is probably the shadier of the two.) The products I've tried from them *seem* to be fine.

[Budiak]

I trust Massquantities,proteinfactory, GNC(mainly for vits), and Sportpharma.

Stores I buy from are massquantities.com, DPS, GNC, and proteinfactory.

[TreeTrunks]

cytodyne, met-rx, and EAS

[Leviathan]

AST Sports Science

[the_hall]

I use prolab.

Does anyone know of any companies that have been tested, and it was discovered they dont have what they claim?

[Kromax]

First post on this board ever :newbie:


Labrada & Vitamin Shoppe

[chromium6]

I currently am using MET-RX Protein PLUS, I like it, Really tastes great. I recommend it to anyone. I used EAS but they are extremley expensive. But it tastes ok Met- RX is not that bad price wise, But Tastes the best in my opinion.

[chromium6]

Sorry I read the question wrong. I Am currently using Herba Fuel From TWIN LAB, I use them Alot I have not had a lot of problems. Although I have not tried alot of other suppliments.

[chris mason]

When WBB supps hit, trust them!

[MonStar1023]

Hehe aight chris, when are WBB going to hit?

:cool::cool:

I agree with these 2 - and also would add:

Protein Factory (I have no complaints and use their recovery formula as well as a combination fast/slow protein mix)

[Mark]

Met RX. All their products seem very carefully thought through and stand up to scientific scrutiny.

For example the website thefactsaboutfitness.com recently posted reults showing that the rate of protein synthesis with Met RX protein was greater than a whey protein tested.

In fact I would distrust any manufacturer that says that whey is the answer to all your protein needs, it's just the best workout protein to use immediatly before or after a workout.

[NYOTTO]

EAS, Optimum

[PowerManDL]

Ask that lazy transexual that runs the site.

[powerkid]

I've been using PROSOURCE'S, NITROWHEY, GLUTAMINE AND CREATINE, it's great tasting, good price and excellent results!

Question too, anyone use Cytodyne's Methoxy-Pro protein? I just bought a container, using it now. ;)

[s_hinobi]

i used to take casilia-90, i took for 2 days met-RX , now i am taking Tropicana products. I think they r good & i did some good improvments with tropicana. Does anyone take or took Tropicana products?

[D&G]

I use Tropicana egg white powder as its pretty cheap - not sure about their other stuff - the start-up thing is nice though.

I would put Labrada as the No.1 company lab assays on their products are available on request and you know that Lee Labrada actually runs the company day to day rather than it being a big faceless organisation.

[Sebi]

EAS
some Twinlab
some Met-Rx

[DasTylZ]

Mhp+Prolab+biotest+Mvp labs

[Maki Riddington]

What Chris M said.

[oldschoolboy]

Personally, I like Universal. They're the only company who's ever took the time to answer all my product and nutrition questions. When I call, I get a live trainer. Most companies I've dealt with don't. I once had to return a product because I didn't like the taste, and they gave me a refund, no problem, even though I used 2/3 of it. Best of all, at http://animalpak.com/Enter/main.html, they have a section where you can ask any question and they get you a personalized response in 48 hours. Cool.

[duque21]

I am going to start by naming all the supp companies I hate
starting with the ones I hate the most

1-TwinLabs(always crap)
2-MuscleTech(over priced sugar products)
3-GNC(medium grade, top price)
4-Bio-Test(over inflated ego's/products work or dont work at all)


The companies I trust

1-Prolab
2-Universal
3-EAS(even though Bill Philips is a HOMO)
4-Cytodyne

[Paul Stagg]

why then do you have t-mag listed as your website? You do understand that t-mag = biotest, right?

Guess where biotest learned how to market? Hint: the initials are EAS.

[oldschoolboy]

Paul Stagg is right... EAS is the masters (or at least was, when Bill was still there) of marketing. Biotest/T-Mag....
STill, it's hard to knock his choices...

[duque21]

Paul......I know that t-mag and bio-test are one, And if you ever heard me talk about t-mag, I read it for the fun of it. I just think its interesting. They have some intertaining articles. And yes I know all the history behind EAS and Bio-Test. Bill Roberts used to be one of there chemist for EAS and now owns Bio-Test

[Paul Stagg]

I see.

TC was the editor in chief of Muscle Media, EAS' marketing publication...er, I mean the EAS owned muscle rag. (Much like Testosterone.com is the marketing publication owned by Biotest)

Biotest marketing mimics EAS' remarkably - testimonials from employees of the company, comparisions to drugs (HMB feels like deca, Androspray feels like sust), etc. It's obvious they learned from the master, Bill Phillips.

I don't think Bill Roberts worked for EAS, and I don't know that he has an ownership stake in Biotest.

Nice try, though.

[s_hinobi]

wot do u guys think about AST Products???? , i started using them about 2 months ago. Anyone out ther using AST products????

[Beast]

Creatine
EAS has always worked well for me, but prolab and weider I lost strength. Now looking for others, as EAS quit making that verision of pure creatine powder. I think I tried muscle tech 6000 creatine with good results, same with cell tech.

[duque21]

Bill Roberts Does.....I read the info some place.

[kartwheel]

Prolab -- Muscletech -- Cytodyne -- MRI

[steveo]

What the hell happen to Bill Philips? He's not the CEO anymore, since when? Bill Philips is cool. He knows his shyt and yeah he's a marketing genius, you can't argue with that he's just wants a piece of the pie.

EAS products are awesome.
Pro-Lab- kicks butt
Cytodyne

i using their whey/creatine now. so far so good. nice customer service, too. but, my next order of whey will be from Optimum cuz you get more for your $.

[s_hinobi]

its real that u get more protein with less $ , but then will the purity be the same??? thats wot i dont know...

[AdamGberg]

What do have to lose,... $19? I have tried many things and some work some don't for $19 dollars I would get some, it's not like it's going to take muscle away.

[AdamGberg]

haha, i just didn't want to grow a third nipple or somethin like that

[jiacstrap]

So could some supplement company pack in some roids in your powder and not tell you? Didn't that happen to a player in the NFL? They sell these supplements in stores now and even some in shoprite why doesn't the FDA look into the companies? Im scared now!

That'd be fookin awesome.

[Budiak]

Youn shut the hell up about these companies and keep buying Prolab and GNC.


Scared? You sack.

[Nagual]

Nutrex, Prolab, Ergophargm, Avant Labs, and Molecular. Oh, and I'm diggin this new NO2 stuff.

[chris mason]

I'll trust this site's products whenever Hulk gets them to market!

[dublniklz]

So many companies try to sell us crap it's hard to go with just one. With Twinlab you know you're getting what's on the label, but they're hardly innovative. Cytodyne is popular, but when they try to sell you crap like Myoblast and Methoxy Pro how can you trust them? EAS pushes some stuff that sounds pretty shady and Prolab will jump on the bandwagon the first chance they get. Biotest's Mag 10 is good stuff, but I know that myostat stuff is crap. AST Sports Science is the only one that I feel doesn't try to push a bunch of crap.

[Kwayde]

I use EAS, Optimum Nutrition, Labrada, Next Proteins. I usually buy my supplements online cause they're a lot cheaper and I have them delivered to my door in less than a week.
