Too good to be true ?

[Sake]

So I recently just ordered some 2 5Lbs bags of the Premium Blend protein, and a bottle of BCAAs.
I gotta say, the protein tastes amazing. Mixed it with milk and it tasted like a vanilla milkshake!
With 25.5g of protein per 30g scoop is great!

Its just..
5Lbs for $46 that mixes great and tastes amazing, shipping was super fast and free because i ordered over $99...
So why isn't everybody buying this protein more? How can I be sure there really is 25.5g of protein in each scoop?
How well can I trust the legitimacy of this company?


With all that being said, If this company really is what it says it is...
Then man... I would never buy from anywhere else again!
If there is some way you guys can assure me everything is what it is then you have a life long Canadian customer here.
I'd even recommend it to all my friends.

Because this just seems too good to be true...
Why is it so cheap anyways?

Hi Sake, it's actually very easy to explain, and first I wouldn't say it's "cheap" I would say it's reasonably priced.

1) we don't use high profile sponsors, magazine ads, etc which increase cost substantially.
2) with the above said, it is easy to find out the real cost of product (which I won't openly state), but our prices are within reason of this cost, percentage wise for what we need for sustainability.
3) we rely a lot of word of mouth and referral marketing.
4) Inexpensive packaging. Mylar bags are a great, safe way to package food and nutraceutical products and are quite a bit less expensive than plastic containers.

Why does it taste and mix so good? Simply put, we dedicated a lot of time to find and formulating flavoring with working with flavor producers, and we source only high quality material to start which in the end yields a high quality finished product. We would rather spend an extra dollar per unit or so for higher quality ingredients that will yield a better finished product than save that dollar and have a mediocre finished product that customers DON'T rave about.

Enjoy your protein! :D

CP, can you tell everyone where your protein is sourced from?

New Zealand whey is self-explanatory, but what about the remaining whey? My main concern is whether or not it has ever gone through Chinese hands.

Our protein has never gone through Chinese hands. :D

That's great news. But can you tell us where it is sourced from?

That's great news. But can you tell us where it is sourced from?

I would really like an answer to this too. THis is the one thing keeping me from placing an order today, because I can't find any info on this.

Our main suppliers for whey are fonterra, saputo, davisco, and glanbia.
