Where yo buy bulk protein

[bmp]

Hey folks, I've been out of the game for a while now. Trying to get back into and have been looking for some bulk protein 40+ lbs. Was thinking of ordering from trueprotein.com but was trying to find someone local in Toronto or Canada for that matter to try and save on shipping. TIA.

wheydepot has decent prices. I ordered from them a couple months ago and am about to reorder. trueproteins prices just aren't that competitive once shipping and flavouring are added

[Baconbits]

bulkfoods.com

Thats where I order mine from, just over $100. including shipping for 10 lbs. It's plain, nothing added. I mix it with fruit and natty PB in a blender. Saves me a lot of money doing it this way.
I place my order on a Tues. it's shipped via UPS and arrives the same week on a Thurs.

[phatkid77]

yeah the shipping bites on trueprotein, ends up adding $2/lb to your order, but still my isolate ends up being $5 cheaper a pound??
and you will not find a better tasting higher quality protein...ANYWHERE

yeah check out wheydepot.com I have found them to be the best solution especially for isolate. The chocolate ain't that great however the banana was stellar. I think I'm going to try out the vanilla on my next order

[gsxr750]

I remember this place in the GTA that supplies just plain whey protein in like 40 pound bags.. still trying to track it down I know one exists..

For smaller orders I get mine from Fitness Etc ( he sponsors this site )

[phatkid77]

freee shipping???? i KNOW TP is top quality, what about this....this isnt the old VANTEDGE is it....lol

I can't remember the name but the other canadian board should have posts about it. I remember reading their prices went up so much for smaller purchases it wasn't really worth it anymore. The sales lady's name is Cornelia off the top of my head.

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

That was vitalus.

On another note...
Be careful on getting bulk protein from obscure sites. You should really look into testing what you are buying. I think some of you would be very surprised :)

[Mr.Freeze]

Whey 80% 70% 30% ???:lick lol

[gsxr750]

Optimum Nutrition has done me well! Ahh and yes Vitalus.. that's the bulk place. Thanks for that.

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

Whey 80% 70% 30% ???:lick lol

Concentrate 80 and 35% for the win. It's the only way they can be making money :D

If it's raw 'sweet' whey, I'm pretty sure it's only like 30% protein or so..

[Baconbits]

If it's raw 'sweet' whey, I'm pretty sure it's only like 30% protein or so..

90% whey protein isolate

17g of protein per 20g of powder. I use a 45g scoop which gives me a 38.25g of protein.

[Baconbits]

100% Whey protein? Some companies use this term to mean the product contains protein only from whey and not from other protein sources (The products do contain other ingredients, fillers etc. just no other protein sources). Other companies use this term to mean it only contains whey protein (no fillers, flavors, etc.) but do not state the concentration level of 34%, 50% or 80% protein. At best 100% whey protein is a misnomer which typically misleads people into thinking they are getting 100% protein. 100% whey protein does not mean 100% Protein!

[Mr.Freeze]

you got that right;)

[Musclehead]

I always stick to name brands and basically companies that have been around for a while now.

[O-Train]

I compared wheydepot, bulk foods and trueprotein for 25lbs of whey concentrate. The bulk food protein is unflavoured and costs the most $197.31 incl. shipping before tax. Whey depot was flavoured and cost $192.99 w/ free shipping before tax. At trueprotein after applying my discount code it was $186.03 incl shipping after tax. I imagine because it's an American company the shipping would take longer however they guarantee there won't be any charges upon pick up.

The other thing I like about trueprotein is the flexability and variety. It's really cool how you can make your own protein exactly how you want it.

For anyone interested the website is: https://www.trueprotein.com/Default.aspx

My discount code is ONH179, it will save you 5%.

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

Trueprotein is the way to go for cheap protein.

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

If you're hesitant, just go with the name brands and you'll be alright. They have too much to lose to put less quality grade protein in their stuff.

is that a hunch? or something with merit?
They seem like a great alternative.

I've done trueprotein before however the ship time was almost 2 months.

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

Mathematics. No profit if it's all isolate. If you spend months and months learning what price the actual protein suppliers sell whey at, then you would know that he would be making next to nothing in profit.

Trueprotein is selling enough that they can buy a huge quantity, I mean HUGE quantity to get it at a good price. And huge you are talking about 15+ tons. Plus protein expires and if one can't move it fast enough, you'd be getting some pretty old shit.

[Mr.Freeze]

15+ tons fuk :eek:

[O-Train]

Good to know. Might have to shop around a little. Do you guys think it would be like this everywhere in Canada. Anyone else find it took this long?

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Heard some guys get it in a few weeks from trueprotein. It really depends on the customs agent it goes through. But it would be wise to make a decent sized order then order again when you still have some so you never run out.

[Freebsd1977]

That's what I do, I always buy from the clearance rack at my local GNC. Muscletech, ON, Allmax whey proteins blends for real cheap prices. My last purchase was 2x$27.99 BioX 5lbs Chocolate flavored Power Whey Complex (great blend of whey iso, concentrate, etc..) = 10lbs for under $60, not too shabby. LOL!

[Baconbits]

Mine is shipped via UPS from the states....if I get my order in b4 Tuesday, I will receive it the same week on Thursday. Bulkfoods' shipping on 10lbs of isolate is cheaper than trueproteins.

[O-Train]

Ok I did some comparisons and I believe that probably the best "bang for your buck" is buying 2x25lbs whey protein blend from wheydepot.com. I figured it out based on price per actual amount of protein (not price per lb). It works out to $8.85/lb of protein. Which for the 50lbs is actually 38.4lbs.

I always wondered why people buy Whey Isolate and now I wonder more. It's more expensive...that's the only difference I can see. (I'm talking cost of actual protein not just cost per pound of product). So unless you're digestive system has problems w/ concentrate I would buy it. That's my 2 cents.

[Baconbits]

"The primary difference between isolate and concentrate is that the isolate is more pure. In other words, isolate contains more protein with less fat and lactose per serving. Based on whose figures you go by, whey isolate usually contains between 90-94% protein while whey concentrate has a protein ratio of 70-85%.

If you are lactose intolerant and you have problems with gas and bloating, then the isolate might be a better choice. But being more "pure" doesn’t necessarily mean that whey isolate is better or will produce greater muscle growth. Whey protein concentrate is still an excellent source of protein. Besides, isolate does have disadvantages: For one, it is more expensive than concentrate. Isolate has also had some of the valuable immune-boosting protein subfractions such as alpha lactoglobulins and lactoferrins removed in the filtering process.

In the long run, I don’t think it makes much difference whether you use concentrate or isolate. Nutrition companies will surely bicker back and forth forever over whose protein powder is the best, but choosing your protein isn’t something you should lose sleep over.

Protein nutrition is very simple: For practical muscle-building purposes, the important thing is to consume between 25-50 grams of protein (depending on your needs) every three hours. Whether it comes from whey isolate, whey concentrate, egg whites, chicken, fish, lean red meat or whatever – I just don’t think it matters that much."

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

whey protein isolate has a protein ratio of 90-94%
whey concentrate (and I will stress 80) has a protein ration of 70-85%
Concentrate can be as low as 35% on the crappier end.

Sweet whey I believe was 15%.

That means if you were taking 1 scoop of whey isolate and 1 scoop of concentrate at the same price, you would get more out of it from the isolate. Let's not even go into the bloating part of concentrates.

But if you guys are really set on buying cheap protein no matter what it is, I'll match those prices you've all posted up. I'll tell you it's 100% pure whey. I can get concentrate 35% at dirt cheap prices :D I'll make a killing!! Ask anyone in field of the supplement industry, I don't mean selling supps, I mean a company that makes it, they'll all tell you if they are selling it at that price, they ain't making money. Minimum it should cost for isolate is 15/lbs and about 12/lbs for concentrate 80. I stress 80 cause some ****ers put 35. This is without packaging and labeling. That's extra :D

Guys, if you're spending so much time and money on getting your body everything it needs, why not spend a few bucks more and get it the best protein out there?

Agree on that. But if one can get all their protein from meats, fish, beans etc, it would be great for the micronutrients also. It's not only about macronutrients.

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

Studies have shown whey protein isolate to have immune boosting properties. Check this out, I bet you didn't know this:
"The results of the study demonstrate that hydrolyzed whey protein isolate can significantly increase glutathione levels within the prostate epithelium. This represents a potential mechanism by which whey protein isolate can provide protection against the development of prostate cancer." - Dept. of Food Science & Technology, Ohio State Univ."

Hmmmm...I'm thinking that guys with a lot of testosterone would really benefit from this :D

[5151]

I pretty much use exclusively isolate however when dealing with ion-exchange there is always the negative that it doesn't carry the same appetite suppressing capabilities of other proteins.

Those prices seem pretty high on whey proteins Canadian, that would see companies such as Cytosport, optimum, ALLMAX, Ergopharm, Trueprotein, NOW et al selling protein that doesn't meet label claims. Not saying its not impossible but that would assume pretty much no one on the market is selling you real deal

[tex]

go with the whey depot......they are in quebec ( no border hassles)......have good specials...awesome shipping and customer service.....and their protein comes from all the whey in the states....good shit......

No, don't get me wrong. The Brand names do meet label claims, I never said they didn't. But notice how they write, contains whey protein isolate and concentrate in their blends. They never tell you how much of each.

But if it is EXCLUSIVELY ISOLATE, you can not be selling that close to $10/lbs and make a profit. That is what I am trying to say. I believe brand names are selling it at $25/lbs which is about right to make enough profit to stay in business.

I know where whey depot gets their stuff and how much they get it at. Just the protein itself would mean they'd be making a few bucks profit a lbs. Then factor in packaging and labeling, oh and shipping from the US, customs/brokerage fees etc. That's why I LOL when people think they are getting a great deal. Hey, don't take my word for it, buy some and send it out to an independant lab to see exactly what's in it. I think you'd be surprised :)

I'll take your word for it, are you referring to their isolate or all their protein in general? I will note that I often add small amounts of water to my protein and opt to eat it as makeshift pudding and it doesn't tend to liquefy as easily as say ISOFLEX. Is this scientific? hardly, however a difference does exist. Is $25 a lb what you are suggesting as normal price? I have never seen a couple with the balls to charge $125 for a 5lb jug of isolate. Perhaps you mean a 2lb jug? where 25lb seems to be on par for prices from US e-tailers. Perhaps trueprotein is the way to go. I really wish they would bring back more BSL flavours their in house flavours simply do not compare

Sorry, $20 is what I should have said. Most 2lbs jugs are $40+. This is not a mix but only high quality isolate. Should be more if they have no fillers (i.e. flavours, sweetneers, added vitamins, etc etc...) That can take up a good chunk of what's in the jug. Of course if you buy more of a quanity you should get it for less than $20/lbs but their profit margin goes down. They want you to buy the 2lbs jugs. They make the most off those. IT keeps them in business.

Trueprotein has a huge clientele which means they can buy a massive amount of protein and move it before it degrades. This is why I would recommend them over small unknowns if you're going bulk. If you just want to buy protein and don't care about bulk, buy any reputable name brand and you won't go wrong. These guys don't spend tens of thousands to put ads in magazines to then put shit protein in the jug. Their competitors probably test it anyway just so they can blow the whistle if someone has shit and take that slice of the pie. If anyone has $200k to spare, I can set up a real trustworthy bulk protein business in Canada. But you ****ers better buy it all before it goes bad....lol
Protein degrades over time.

[5151]

If you knock off the k from 200k I may be able to help ;)
The more you talk to people in the know in the industry you realize how much bullshit exists.
I try to make one large supplement order every 3-4 months. I think next time I will just throw in 3 or 4 7.5lb tubs of Isopure or order from trueprotein. I just checked out there shipping at it seems much more affordable than last time I ordered.

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

People get into the industry to make money, not to give you the best quality. When it comes to money, you'll find more crooks than good guys. It's a sad fact but it's like that in almost every industry. If they can sell you flavoured flour for protein, they would.

If you can back up what you post about then fine. Posting up studies like this one only proves to me you don't know what you're talking about.

Where do you think we should all buy our protein from? I know I can't wait to shell out $25...or was it $20/lb for protein. Maybe I'll start using Muscletech products too. Who knows...I'm crazy!

There should be a way to find their research. I'm not the one who did it.

You can buy what you want. All's I'm saying is you'll get what you pay for. Nothing else.

Nevermind.

I'll mention one thing though. I'm fairly certain that the claims trueprotein.com make about their protein are accurate. Before shipping their protein is cheaper than almost everywhere else. I don't think it would be unreasonable to believe that other companies could have comparable prices.

Paying a lot more doesn't assure you're getting better quality. Just that you're paying a lot more.

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

I support trueprotein. I believe they can buy the tons of protein required to get it at a good price to sell it at that price. And more importantly, they can move it without the protein degrading. Because someone can buy 15 tons, it doesn't mean they can move it in a year, or 10 :D

But if you read back, you'll see I say I support them. A small company out of nowhere just starting up selling it close to trueprotein is either making no money or is not selling quality stuff. As I also said, spend some months researching on what prices they are getting it at and you'll know how much they should be selling it at. But always look at how much you have to buy to get it at a good price.

Most brand names are paying for advertising, health canada regulation codes etc. That means it meets certain standards. Bulk stuff goes around that meaning they can sell you shitty stuff and not be held accountable. As long as it doesn't kill you though. Bro, I have nothing against you, you can buy from whoever you want. I'm just trying to put things into perspective as everyone always kicks the big guys in the nuts and runs to who sells cheaper. Do a little research into stuff and you'll make the best decision for yourself, your health and your wallet. Some guys got a lot of cash and some guys are tight. But we all choose depending on what we want and what we can afford.

There are many guys/gals that wouldn't ever think of buying a kia right? Why not, it's a car that does what it should. Then why are guys buying acura's lexus', etc. It's just another car :)

When the chinese car hits the markets at under 10k usd new, shouldn't everyone buy one of those? Not really, just those that don't see much value in owning an expenisive car and instead settle for a decent car at a good price that will get them from point a to point b. It's all relative to who's shoes you are wearing. If one guy wants the best protein available to him and can afford to pay for it, he'll shell out the money no questions asked. Another guy may have some money but wants to shop wise and make the best decision on getting a good protein for his money. Then you have guys that are very tight on cash and go where the cheapest protein is. That's the way life goes. My posts are mostly for the middle range guys. Looking to get quality stuff for a fair price. If one is looking for cheapest protein, it's just a question of mathematics. Any discussion after that is moot.

[phatkid77]

trueprotein worked hard to lower the price for shipping, as i said its a bout $2/lb ontop, but still cheaper than stores...

and ohurley, EVERY one of my orders arrive in 10biz days....im in ontario..

[Mickyo613]

Hey guys -xxx has some great prices on protein, and if you order over $100, shipping is free.

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Sorry, can't allow an overall supplement store link. It isn't fair to our board sponsors. Bulk protein places aren't overall supplement stores so it's a different class than our sponsors.

[ZeOne]

TrueProtein. Never took more than 10 days, and I do at least an order every 2 month. Their orange cream and banana cream premium taste are really good. Of course get in on the side so you can flavor to your liking.

[Freebsd1977]

Maybe I'll start using Muscletech products too. Who knows...I'm crazy!

Hey man, don't knock down Muscletech Nitro-tech, I started on it and it's a great whey protein. Too bad I'm low on moola right now and need to save otherwise I would continue buying it. Clearance rack for me nowadays, thanks a mill PM Harper :lick

Thats his point exactly, you can't afford it... Nitro tech is such a waste of money, bro do some research on protein powders. Muscle Tech thrives on marketing and the fact they have half the olympia stage on there team. Not saying there products are shitty but at those prices I can't justify there value matching there cost even if I was loaded.

so if you are lean for $$ then what are you doing using NT. Better off spending the $ on some prime chicken, hey it's cheaper then 2 scoops of that shit.

[Gettin'r'round]

I've been buying from proteinfactory for the last 8yrs. I just looked at trueprotein and they just copied the concept from Alex @pf. If you order enough they start to give discounts. My last order was like 20lbs and only $25 for shipping USPS. You just have to make sure you get USPS not UPS. This way I pay nothing when it crosses the border. Plus I get my formula's sweetened with stevia which is a huge bonus (to me anyhow).

Nice, never heard of proteinfactory before. Will definitely take a look.

So what's the deal with these sites, wheydepot and trueprotein?

I'm leary of trusting them on the quality but it is substantially cheaper than buying other labels. It just seems real sketchy.

What's everyone's opinion on the two above-mentioned suppliers?

wheydepot i dont trust. they could have a good product. but the rip off logo from home depot rubs me the wrong way.

trueprotein i would trust anyday of the week. i have ordered myself and i own a store,lol. Carl is always good to me and i ahve met him in person. you cant go wrong with TP

I'll admit I don't know much about whey. I've been using ON gold standard for half a decade now and haven't switched, but I'm trying to understand it now and I don't see why the price is so much more.

Gonna use prices from a well known site:

ON whey blend 5lb: 64.99$
EAS Whey blend 5lb: 49.99$


Besides that ON adds random shit to it (which I don't believe works), Why is there a 20$ difference.

ON advertises 5g of BCAA but looking at EAS it also has 5grams of isoleucing/valine/leucine (it just isn't advertising it).

ON also advertises 4g of glutamine and precursors but it doesn't show the profile for glutamic acid which leads me to believe that they're just lumping it together.


Am I correct in assuming that the only difference in ISOLATE and CONCENTRATE/BLEND is purity of protein? In which case, the thing to look for is price per gram of protein and nothing else.

Finally, what kind of blends are you guys getting from trueprotein? :P

most of you are missing the 1 major thing why trueprotein can offer cheaper prices then the rest.
TP is the manufacter! the rest of the barnds by their whey from suppliers like TP does, but TP has the manufacturing plant on site. where as everyone else sends there stuff to manufactures to be amde into a finished product!
this effects the cost!

Meh, taste is over rated.. Except for their Gemma protein, omg that was bad!! I bought 20lb. of the stuff and i tried for 2 weeks and couldn't take it anymore. Gave it all to a buddy and he ended up throwing it away.

[buildinthaskinnys]

I checked out wheydepot and Im trying to figure out when the deal starts, 25 lbs for 200 dollars? I bought a ten pound sack of pvl whey maxx for 90 dollars, ok so that equates to 8 dollars a pound for whey depot and 9 dollars a pound for pvls, Im not rich but Im not so poor that I need to save a buck in any form that I can, I think I would rather pay a dollar more for pvl's protein.

[Ogrew]

so what trueprotein have people tried here?
whats the best trueprotein to get?
i want to get a 25lb tub haha

[1996zj]

Hey folks, I've been out of the game for a while now. Trying to get back into and have been looking for some bulk protein 40+ lbs. Was thinking of ordering from trueprotein.com but was trying to find someone local in Toronto or Canada for that matter to try and save on shipping. TIA.

I have had good experinces with Ture protein and the shipping isn't bad at all.

[Drummer]

id never buy bulk. I can only imagine how my stomach would react. It would have to be a proven quality source.

~DB~

[Ritch]

trueprotein i would trust anyday of the week. i have ordered myself and i own a store,lol. Carl is always good to me and i ahve met him in person. you cant go wrong with TP

That is the most unbiased opinion I can ever hear for this company obviously because you sell supps yourself. You should put up a discount code in your name in the very least... Speaking of discounts, will there be a sale on optimum whey next month? My stash is running low and can`t swing the updated prices.

[AlbertaBeef]

Anybody order from NutraBio??

I've thought about it for a big order maybe??

[nisser]

So I got my order from trueprotein. No taste, mixes well. If it's 100% as advertised I'm gonna be very happy. I ordered it in a bag though and I only have 2 empty tubs so its just gonna sit in a bag lol :P

if you order the 25lb package, be prepared with tubs!

[1996zj]

ask 10 ppl get 10 answers go figure LOL

[Descimus]

I like trueprotein, no flavor for me actually make it goes down easier, dont add vitamin to it, it really give it a bad taste..

[Kronis]

why wait 10 days and have it shipped from the states.......i get mine within 4 days from a canadian supplier.......granted trueprotein has way more options.....but the price is the same.....product is great...... whey depot all the way.......
x2. I just wait till I get a 15% off coupon in the mail. 25lbs of their whey blend comes out to 6.80/lbs. Which would be comparable to $34 per 5 lbs.

The chocolate is delicious.

And shipping is free over $99. I really like these guys and I think it took like 3 days to receive my order because they ship from Quebec.


wheydepot i dont trust. they could have a good product. but the rip off logo from home depot rubs me the wrong way.

trueprotein i would trust anyday of the week. i have ordered myself and i own a store,lol. Carl is always good to me and i ahve met him in person. you cant go wrong with TP

They're just the Canadian subsidiary of Allthewhey.com

edit: I was excited at the prices on TrueProtein, but $42 for shipping? **** that, completely kills the deal, especially after factoring in currency conversion.

[Ritch]

the % of protein from trueprotein though is higher with the concentrate formula. Theirs is 23 grams per 30 gram scoop. Whey depot is 20 per 32. Last time I checked (10 seconds ago) true protein is cheaper when buying 25 lbs of concentrate.

[faller]

they ship from Quebec..

And therein lie's the problem.. ;)

[Ritch]

^^^ Yeah screw those french cock suckers! But seriously why is that a problem or do I not detect your sarcasm?

Well I was comparing their 25lbs of ultra whey blend BAILOUT SPECIAL.

I'll take your word on the concentrate prices. I just refuse to pay anyone $42 to ship something that costs $120.

If I was able to have it sent to a US drop spot I'd go TP for sure though.

edit: How is their WPC taste wise?

edit 2: I have no idea why WD concentrate is $20 more than their WC/WI blend. That's retarded.

[Ritch]

I`ve never used either actually. Was going to order 25 lbs of recession whey from tp which is very cheap for $99 but the price nearly doubles when you add shipping and 3 flavor packs. Still pretty cheap. But will be getting 20 lbs of peach protein from physique. Hopefully I like peache flavored protein.

The whey blends on either site I don`t think will make much of a difference. The very fact they call them a blend and don`t tell you the % of isolates vs concentrate shows they are hidding something. If the isolates were 50% or higher they would state this to promote sales. I`m guessing no more than 10%. The word is just in the formula to please people. The difference in protein per scoop is minimal as well and end up paying more than it`s worth.

Depot concentrate: 20 grams scoop
blend: 22 grams
isolate: 25 per

Are you sure whey depot has a whey with 24 grams per scoop? I see it in the tp blend, maybe you mixed them up?

Tp concentrate: 23
blend:24
isolate: 27

[Kronis]

^^sorry, i edited my post while you must have been typing. I was mistaken; it was 22, not 24.

[Ritch]

They must have screwed something up because the 25 lbs blend is 40$ less expensive than the concentrate.

edit: they have the ratio`s of whey under the blends and opposite, must be the same with the price as well. If you`re a real ball buster you could tell them by law they have to sell it to you at the advertised price.

[ironwill]

I used to use true protein but i hate the hassle of waiting and wondering...Dante used to have true protein canada, but it didnt work well...
I stopped after that...
DC sent me some of his shirts to wear to the gym a couple weeks ago as i am a former trainee of his, they got ripped off at customs or enroute, he was going to send again, but i told him not to bother...He is an amazing guy with outstanding service, just the border sucks big time, thats why i stopped, other than that they are great....

Now im a popeyes guy, i love just walking around in there although we mostly only buy protein nowadays, just a lot of pretty colors...

[Ritch]

^^^ I love walking around in those stores also! Makes you want to buy everything... It`s to us what a shoe store is to a chick.

[ironwill]

definitely.....:yeah

[hyperlite32]

Wheydepot protein is hands down THE WORST tasting/mixing protien I have ever had. I was unhappy with there product, I told them I will ship it back, and I wanted a refund. They told me "they have never had a bad review in 3 years" also, they would not refund me my money. I threw that shit in the garbage. Get your protein from PHN or Fitness ECT. They are sponsors and do good biz.

[mcgirkz]

anybody ever use Vitalus inpro 90 agglomerated anymore? i used to order from them all the time. i think i was told that their 20kg sack is around 400 plus tax and shippin. they are based in B.C.

compared to whey depot, the only other bulk i've tried, i found vitalus better.

[cnelson09]

i like supplementscanada.ca there prices are better then most and they have all the big name brand products and shipping is free over 100 dollars plus they send you free sample and t shirts, well they did for me atleast lol.

[gsxr750]

^^ 25 pounds of whey blend with primary ingredient being isolate for $179CAD shipped uhhh... nice...? Someone who knows about protein quality want to have a look at the nutritional info on that and give the lowdown? Good or no?

[#8]

hmmmmm....

??

[hyperlite32]

does the price seem TOO LOW to be a quality product?

[Ogrew]

Iam actually involved in this company and i back this product 100%..[/QUOTE]

I'll have to check this one out... last time i ordered from trueprotein n paying for shipping on 25lbs of protein was a bitch...

[deletedandgone]

Here's my experience with true protein: I ordered 5 pounds of their team skip mix formula, took 4 weeks to ship (because of customs), tasted like shredded cardboard mixed with water, I could not even finish the tub and threw it out. But ok, I thought it was the particular product, so, my second order took 2 weeks to "ship", but even though UPS says it's at my door, it never arrived. Right now I'm trying to get a hold of true protein to find out what happened, but basically I'm missing $100 in protein on the second order.

North of GTA, there's Olympic Nutrition, 416 650 5006. No tax if you pay cash :)

Also, I found this protein to be really good, apart from that it's Syntha-6 by BSN:
innerarmour.com/blue/superquad.html

Any other proteins that you guys like? Superquad can be bought in 10 pound bags.

[gsxr750]

ditto^^^ I got my protein delivered to my door 2 days after it was sent. I just don`t know what else you can ask for dude. Top notch protein, inexpensive, free supps, fast delivery and solid customer service.

[bigtavi8]

True supplements. I have ordered from a lot of the big chains and from the states and all the other shit. True supplements isnt the only store in my area. I have options where i live. But with 2-3 day shipping, cheap prices, and good clean product its the best in the biz. They give ya free 1lb of stuff on orders over 100bucks a lot of the time. You cant go wrong. Dont shop by price. You still want to get a good quality product and from my expierence true supps isolate and whey are good shit, taste great. just my 2 cents.
