Opinions on this protein powder from trueprotein
http://66.63.171.49/store/comersus_v...p?idProduct=65
it's relatively inexpensive. i take it a couple times a day, doesn't taste too bad (fruit punch flavor). i don't think there's really any significant differences between the various brands/types of protein powders on the market (correct me if i'm wrong). what do you guys think? |

10 pounds at $8.88 per pound = the most expensive protein powder I have ever seen.

There are plenty of places where you can get 6 lbs for under 30 dollars. And your right, if it's just a whey protein concentrate there is very little difference between the brands.

Yeah, I can get it locally $44 for 5lbs, but that's CAD, no shipping, and only GST.

what do you guys think about the supplement facts, and the amino acid profile? that stuff is another language to me. this protein was recommended to me by someone who works with and trains bodybuilders.

Is this thread a joke or what? You guys really need glasses.
This is the whey protein ion-exchange isolate. The concentrate is 4.19$ a pound. |

Your right those comparisons where off. But using my example it cost 25.19 for six lbs of their concentrate. Add in shipping and the additional 50 cents for a scooper (cuz ya gotta pay extra) and your still more then I pay.
If you get around 25+ lbs at a time then you could start saving a dollar here and there.

i'm not concerned with the price. i just wanted to point out that it's much cheaper then the stuff they sell at GNC. i'm more concerned with the quality of the protein. is this something you would take? if not, why?

I'm sure the quality is fine. I would use it. I'm sure the quality is just as good as any storebought crap.
