what is the best in your opinion than?

[Ritch]

I used to sell sups and people would always ask that question. "Which is the best" I swear a protein concentrate should do the job for most people. I could never see the difference when some guy went from a concentrate to say a blend of isolate plus casein, or isolate. Sure I wasen`t there to monitor all the details but anyway. Plus you`re paying about twice the price. But the business is like any other, some people always have to have the "newest and best". The industry knows this and if they don`t cater to this need someone else will...

Best Creatine IMO (that has worked the best for me) has been Magnum BIG C 4 stage CEE creatine capsules. Great strength and recovery and size with zero side effects. I react poorly to creatine mono, it upsets my stomach and bloats me.

[Danger]

Personally I like Protein powder, Creatine Mono and Fishoil most other supplements cost so much and do so little I just cant justify spending my hard earned dollars on them.

[TheNaturalBodybuilder]

Any one of the top brands are good proteins IMO. Just pick one that tastes the best to you.

Creatine Monohydrate to me is still the best. Better than any of those blends. Just pure Creatine

BCAA's

Udo's Oil

Glutamine

lastly a Multi. To me thats all I ever buy as they are all proven. Of course FOOD!!!!

[Avitoholis]

I like to buy bulk from trueprotein every couple of months, they have everything I need.

do you get charged much duty and taxes buying from true protein?? since it is comming from the U.S

[Timbo89]

consider the fact that optimum is only like 77% protein per serving. there are far better proteins. I dont see the point in paying for fillers... Isoflex all natural is 93% protein, and while its a bit more, atleast each scoop is mainly protein, not only 3/4 protein.

I'm glad someone else was thinking this too! I think the purest stuff i've ever used was Ion Exchange from trueprotein.com. You need to look at not only how many carbs/fats are in the protein but grams per scoop and the size of the scoop. Pure whey isolate should be 28g's or so a scoop, i'm talking ion exchange, CFM whey would be a tad lower.

[champcar99]

creatine
glutamine
iso protein
b-6
b -12
3-6-9 oil
and a multi vit

never tried it, ill have to check it out.

It can get pricey BUT you know exactly what you are getting (no proprietary blends of god knows what) and they also have a wide variety of products and flavors of which you can create custom mixes. In the end, I believe it's a better deal. One thing to remember is you will need to give them a 1-2 weeks shipping time, so if your gonna run out of protein before then you will be shit out of luck and you may have to make a trip to GNC :( to get you by.....

They pay the shipping and duty i believe so they make it cheaper for us Canadians, I tried ion exchange whey isolate and burned through 30lbs of that, definitely a different texture than anything i got in the stores. I think the only exception would be isopure, it felt the same as the ion exchange from true protein, no noticeable grit, excellent mixability and clean taste. Hope that discription makes sense. And for all of you that use a protein blend for micellar casein you don't realize how little company's actually use in their blends till you get pure micellar casein or make up your own blend. The mixability is terrible and the taste isn't great, but that's characteristic of micellar casein.

[Timbo89]

I dont know why people use casein protein, you can jsut add fats to your protein to slow down absorption, and its more cost efficient. just use some extra virgin olive oil, or if you can get some macadamia nut oil is even better. This works better than casein because you can adjust the ammount of fat for just how slow you want the protein to be absorbed. To a certain extent obviously.

[Weilder]

These are the supps I take, nothing to fancy :)

Carlson's Fish Oil
Now ADAM Multi
Whey Concentrate from True protein
ZMA before bed from True protein
BCAA's during workout from True protein
Digestive enzymes

My protein i get is Strive Pro-ISL .. 45g Whey isolate per 50g scoops .. and for the others loll.. well glutamine is glutamine .. bcaa are bcaa and creatine is creatine.. so the cheapest of all ! But i like glutamine peptides more than L-glutamine and i like more plain old school creatine mono , cheapest and most effective imo ! Im not really a fan in supplements.. i try to get the best quality of protein thats all.. for the rest fuk it, ill spend my money in food!

I hear what your saying but i think at best you'll get moderately slow protein, when the blend i normally use was out of stock i ate a huge omlet before bed with 4-5 omega 3 eggs so we are talkin 20-25g's fat and atleast a cup or so of egg whites and i wasn't full through the night. I'd wake up at like 1 or 2 am starving. I've also tried whey with 2-3 tblspoons almond butter/fish oil. Micellar casein clumps up in the stomach like cottag cheese and keeps your full much longer as well as gives you i believe it's 5-7 hours worth of aminos, nothing comes close for me.

I agree with what you say saying casein is better than whey with added fats, but has using this more expensive whey led to greater muscle gains in your experience?

Hard to say but in the anti-catabolic sense then i'd say yes, I look at my protein powder expense like food and the last thing i'm going to skimp on is food.
