What's the best protein supplement on the market? Discuss!

Daniel Clough · 01-08-2006, 03:41 PM

heh, I went for Nitrean

Bob · 01-08-2006, 04:16 PM

Hey you guys.. this is unfair..
The competitors don't have a shot!!!!
And you'll probably shut down our accounts if we vote for someone else... LOL.. HAHAHA...

Ahh.. I vote for Nitrean!!!

BTW.. I just got my 1st bucket Thursday.. used it for 3 days.. and already I'm feeling stronger..

Anthony · 01-08-2006, 07:18 PM

lol, you can vote honestly, no one is going to get shutdown.

I've been using Nitrean as my main source of protein powder since ALN started. Tastes great, mixes easily, and does the job ... why would I switch??

Maki Riddington · 01-08-2006, 08:19 PM

I'd vote for two. Nitrean and Muslce Milk.

rookiebldr · 01-08-2006, 09:41 PM

I hated the way muscle milk mixes. Besides, I thought we were talking protein supplements not weight gainers or meal replacements.

Optimum08 · 01-08-2006, 10:29 PM

i use nitrean and optimum whey, nitrean for breakfast etc. and the ON whey for post workout...works nicely for me

jixxxer · 01-09-2006, 09:57 AM

I cant speak for atlarge, cause i havent tried it yet, but muscle milk is by far the best tasting! Also whats with the bashing of muscle milk? Just curious.

ROMANMAN · 01-09-2006, 02:19 PM

Nitrean is of the shizzle but for some reason mine doesnt mix to good chris botched it.

Maki Riddington · 01-09-2006, 04:12 PM

Muscle Milk has protein in it?

f=ma · 01-11-2006, 10:29 PM

ON whey here

Utopianhopes · 01-11-2006, 10:55 PM

100% Whey Protein - Gold Standard

You guys are awesome, but I am poor and price makes a big decision in my choice.

getfit · 01-11-2006, 11:42 PM

so far my vote goes for Nitrean

g0ddang · 01-13-2006, 12:08 PM

i've only tried ON 100% whey and its been working great for me. so therefore my vote goes to ON

Explosive_Boxer · 01-13-2006, 12:20 PM

muscle juice

tigo · 01-14-2006, 10:23 PM

ON Whey for PWO
and Nitrean for the rest of the day

Manveet · 01-15-2006, 09:52 PM

ON makes some pretty solid products.

I've always been a fan of their natural whey.

I just bought I tub of their casein protein. That stuff is absolutely delicious just mixed in water.

my thoughts exactly. nitrean for PWO shake, muscle milk before bed. cant beat muscle milks flavors either. chocolate mint chip, banana creme, and rocky road are by far my favorite flavors (i have tried about 9)

Ehzaz · 01-25-2006, 04:49 AM

Most of the reviews that I have read on ON 100% were very good. It also comes out as value for money. Not expensive at all. I have been using it and am perfectly 'appy with it.

imageD · 01-25-2006, 09:55 PM

Cytosport makes the best supplements on the market in my humble opinion.

Nitrean is good, but just too too much money.

Canadian Crippler · 01-27-2006, 04:23 PM

WheyGourmet tastes nothing short of amazing.

LaxProdigy · 01-28-2006, 01:54 PM

ON 100% chocolate. Cheaper, better for PWO, mixes (much) better, and (to me at least) tastes (much) better than nitrean. If I use my nitrean now i mix a little ON 100% in it with a milk containing a little more fat to keep the slower digesting qualities of the casein.I've tried a few other brands but ON is #1 so far.

Edit: I've heard mixed reviews of the ON casein. I guess I should just try it for myself.

Risk10k · 01-28-2006, 10:37 PM

BSc Whey Protein Isolate.

Paper_Boy · 02-02-2006, 10:27 AM

I've used gnc brand mega[u] wey most my life. I guess it gets the job done decently but I can only afford to take 1-2 scoops a day, so I can't really say.

I was usting CYTO Gainer by cytosport which seems to work really well.
What I liked about this is asside from 54g Protien it had 84G of carbs for hard gainers such as myself. However I dunno if it was the 3 g creatine or whatever else is in it but it seemed like it was shrinking my balls. Is this possible? It didnt hurt by maybe like a slight restrictive sensation. I discontinued for a week and my balls are normal again. Does ne body know a substance-phenomenom that could account for this possible occurence?

Nitro tech I loved even though it kinda hurt my heart and its really expensive. However, it makes me violent when i mix with alcohol so i stopped.

tigo · 02-04-2006, 03:24 AM

^ the only thing i hate about gnc whey is that it clumps up like none other. that and it tastes kinda funny, at least the mixed berry that my friend gave me

costco ProteinUSA whey works pretty well for the price.. doesnt compare in taste with ON or Nitrean though

That stuff is absolutely delicious just mixed in water. __________________ "It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?" Richard Dawkins "Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one." Richard Dawkins "Bah. You know I hate poor people." Paul Stagg
