What protein?

[Matthew]

What protein brands do you guys use.

I use mostly Designer and Optimum. Vanilla is my favorite.

[madeincanada]

right now i float between matrix, which is a blend of both whey and egg protien and casin protien as well. so there is both fast and slow digesting protiens

i also like EAS 100% whey as well.

[Mr.Freeze]

whey isolate from INTERactive nutrition! natural no taste with orange jus!

[blimp]

Designer Vanilla with milk.

[thefuture]

I use mammoth while bulking :D

[liquidfire]

Whatever's cheapest :cool:

[St]

What ever is on sale.

[IronMan]

I am currently using Champion Banana Scream. Tastes amazing and seems to be doing the job very well.

[ladyliftin']

I've been using Optimum. If you guys haven't tried the chocolate mint you're missing out!!! It's so good and the mint keeps it from getting monotonous. I just bought cookies 'n' cream as well because everyone kept saying it was awesome, but I don't like it!

Ok, so who wants it???? I've barely touched it:D :D :D

[Mr.Freeze]

Same over here i dont like cookies 'n' cream!

They ship from the states- probably not the best option for canadian orders.

I have thought about trying the matrix 5.0 as it is a decent price for a blend. Not sure exactly what percentages they use for their mix though, but I may pick up a 5 lb bag and give it a try.

Yeah but you can buy 44 lbs for like 200 bucks and even in american dollars its still better than the others

[small_guy]

Hey fergie have you ordered from them? Do they cover duty, taxes and what was the shipping cost. I do agree that their price for the isolate is amazing. The 44 labs of WPC is 139.99

[moonson]

Power whey Isolate from BioX, BSN syntha 6 and Dymatize Mega Milk ;)

[ergie]

No havent ordered yet but I'm thinking of it, the customs charge kinda scares me since its based on a percentage of the value and its not that low. I'll email them and ask them if the prices listed are +tax,duty,brokerage

[InsulinShock]

Why purchase from the US and pay shipping, taxes and duty when you can purchase bulk WPI and WPC in 44lb bags right here in Canada direct from the manufacturer? Google \"Vitalus\"

[ergie]

I'll check Vitalus out

[Mr.Freeze]

but i think vitalus protein is with out flavor!

[ergie]

but i think vitalus protein is with out flavor!

Thats better if you ask me since I make smoothies with mine and the flavour usually drowns the fruit I put in out

[Mr.Freeze]

Hmmmmm! I like smoothies in the summer its refreshing!!If you ever buy some let me know how much you pay.

[InsulinShock]

but i think vitalus protein is with out flavor!

Yes it is unflavoured because it is direct from the manufacturer. Just 100% pure protein powder like how I like it. Get creative like me and stir it into diet rootbeer with a spoon. I love how this stuff mixes!

[Mr.Freeze]

Protein with diet rootbeer ! THAT must taste weird!! :eek:

[InsulinShock]

Protein with diet rootbeer ! THAT must taste weird!! :eek:

Not really, have you ever tried MuscleMilk Rootbeer Float flavour?

[Mr.Freeze]

I never tried MuscleMilk Rootbeer Float flavour before and never heard about it! Must taste super weird!

[freshh]

whatevers affordable, and a decent flavour that will taste good, and i wont have to squint and feel like vommiting after a sip lol.

i have optiumum vanilla on hand.

[crazycharlie9090]

I'm just finishing my EAS right now. I'm gonna get the MuscleMilk next cuz it tastes awesome.

[hammer69]

Hello guys,
I just want to tell you that you should visit this new website: www.wheydepot.com
They have amazing prices and they ship from Canada. I got my 25lbs in 1 day in Ontario. That is top quality protein at an amzaing price. They offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Best deal in Canada. Try it. Just as good as the leading brands.

[ergie]

Thats pricey for bulk protein :(

i used optimum for a couple years because it is fairly well priced adn tastes good, i recently switched to bio x complex chocolate flavor and really like it for taste (basically chocolate milk) same price as optimum too

[crazycharlie9090]

Supplements canada has a good selection and good prices. I go to popeyes supplements and they always knock off like 40 bucks if you by a stack.

I'm on a muscletech stack right now. The Nitro-Tech hardcore is working pretty good and it tastes alright. When I've got no money I just make my shakes with a few whole eggs and skim milk with some chocolate syrup, tastes better than any store bought stuff IMO

[physique]

well guys. If u like musclemilk or dorian products then u should order from adrenaline supplements, good guy behind that company.

as for the state of whey protein these days it isnt good. expect prices to go up, will only be slightly for big stores like popeyes,reflex,fuel. but u wont see super cheap anymore due to the economic conditions.

Whey Concentrate Protein Price Increase

The raw material cost for protein (whey proteins, caseinates, milk proteins) has been rising steadily over the past 6months, with a cumulative cost increase in 2006 of more than 20%. February costs rose even further by another 10%, and last month, they went up again by another 20%.And now again in June raw prices went up by 23% more. Forecasts from all raw material suppliers in North America, New Zealand/Australia and Europe are that prices show no signs of declining in the near future.

The cost increases are a result of worldwide market conditions:
1. Milk shortages caused by drought-like conditions in key milk producing regions in North America, New Zealand, Australia, and Europe, depleting supply of whey;
2. Reduction in volume of cheese manufacturing (whey protein is made from filtering liquids derived from cheese manufacturing)
3. Record prices being offered for dairy proteins by the agricultural feed industry.
4. Supplies of whey being further bought up by Europe and Asia, as their own supplies have been outstripped.

These 4 main factors result now in a shortage of all dairy proteins, including whey protein, and thus a rise in price from all suppliers around the world- just like other commodities such as milk, gasoline, or oil rise in price and the demand outstrips the supply. All this has lead to every raw material dairy and whey supplier in the world raising prices whether contracts were in place or not.

as for best tasting i just use PVL's whey maxx myself during day, there isolate after i train, and musclemilk before bed.

[R.F.S.]

American bodybuilding has a great protein doesn't give me gas like other brands. At the moment i'm using PVL's whey protein, best chocolate flavoured protein IMO and the price isn't too bad either.

[Big D]

Thats pricey for bulk protein :(

ya is it ever,
i think i'll stick to paying off my buddy that works a GNC ;)

[Baconbits]

I'm using PRO-ISO by Strive (8lb tub) 45g protein, .5g fat, 3g carb per serving

[R.F.S.]

Axis labs "clutch" and American Bodbuilding "Pure Pro" are the best protein shakes imo.

i just talked to a sales rep at vitalus. a 15 kg bag of of inpro 90 (WPI) is $300CAD. that is what i paid for a 20kg bag a couple years ago. the whey depot sells 50lbs for $439CAD.

Shipping from vitalus was $33 and was less than a week delivery time from BC to SK. i would imagine the price has gone up as a result of increases in fuel prices. Shipping from the whey depot is free to my house.

so it looks like whey depot is cheaper at $8.78 per lb. and I would guess vitalus to be around $10+ per lb once shipping is factored in??

Question is, how good is the WPI from the whey depot? i would prob opt for natural flavor as i add my own.

[mcgirkz]

decided to buy from TWD. (add $22CAD for GST)

I am going to contact vitalus just to see what courier rates are as well as get a quote for orders larger than 10 bags

[guest1]

Vitalus with plain old skim milk or water . You guys and your flavour ! :p
