Optimum Nutrition mostly.

I'll sticky this thread as I'd like to know too for the supplements review site. Want to make sure I have those products up for review and rating.

Champion Nutrition Pure Whey, sooooo good

[hyperlite32]

I have tried them all, My current fave is Dymatize Elite. I am with ironwill, whatever is on "Sale"

[muskate]

allmax isoflex

not too picky on which protein though. sometimes get the kaizen at costco. Generally whats not too pricey.

[z83]

gaspari myofusion vanilla is first choice
dymatize is second

[gsxr750]

Trueprotein isn't the best deal from what i'm seeing. 25LBS whey blend unflavoured on special for $129.99 + $41 shipping comes to $195 Canadian to my door from TP.

TS Canada cost $179 CAD for 25LBS flavoured whey blend primary ingredient isolate, free shipping and an additional 10% off.

[spikedcow]

My local Popeye's has had great deals on BioX.
Before I was useing dymatize.

[Andre]

I am using MVP...

[_Ragnar_]

Maxx Essentials they are base out of Port Coquitlam, BC. I like to support a local company. Its cheap too, $35 for a 2 kg tub(on sale)

[Timbo89]

allmax isoflex right now. But I also like strive's Pro-isl, and iso-XP from nxlabs.

[Skyblob]

ON Whey =) !

[meathelmet]

Kaizen, great quality and 40 bucks for 4.4 lbs, go costco!!

[ubcpower]

Kaizen, great quality and 40 bucks for 4.4 lbs, go costco!!

i bought two tubs of that kaizen chocolate and i can barely stomach it...the taste is way too sharp and rich for me...i can taste the chemicals....ill stomach it none the less

[baza]

TP iso/con blend with dextrose added.

[Delt King]

You can't beat TrueSupplements.com for price, quality and taste...and it's canadian.

Whey blend for $34.99...UNBEATABLE

[kloan]

25lbs of True Protein recession blend (isolate and concentrate), plain, w/ vanilla and chocolate flavour packs.

update: waaaaaaay better than the blend i got before it, that had hydrolyzed whey in it. ive concluded that hydrolyzed whey is what causes the shake to get frothy and thick... too much air in it = burps/upset stomache. isolate/concentrate ftw.

[tentyler]

bsn provides the highest quality and best tasting protein

Whey blend for $34.99...UNBEATABLE

Still dosen`t beat the costco prices, not trying to be a party pooper, just stating the truth. But it is a valid second in terms of cheapest prices I`ve seen.

[Canadian Protein.com]

What the price you're seeing? I was at costco the other day and it was $40 for 4.4lbs same as what Meathelmet said earlier in the post.

Yeah, same price, it`s an isolate. I`m not saying it`s the best one but it`s 85% pure. How much is your 5 lbs of iso? I`m pretty sure it`s more. I just calculated, it would come to $52.8 for 4.4 lbs. I`m not saying it`s a bad price, it`s a good price, it`s just that somebody said it`s the cheapest...

[Ritch]

Let`s not forget liquid energy that offers 20lbs of whey for 220... That`s $55 for 5 lbs. It`s a tough business!

[Canadian Protein.com]

Ok, lets do some math...hopefully my brain is still working :)

Kaizen has a $40 4.4lbs. tub of isolate at 85% protein per serving.
TS has a $35 5lbs. of blend (with main ingredient isolate) at 79% per serving.

So if you consider the ratios:

Kaizen - 4.4lbs. x 0.85 = 3.74lbs. of protein per unit
TS - 5lbs. x 0.79 = 3.95lbs. of protein per unit

Conclusion...you're getting 0.21lbs. more protein per unit and it's $5 cheaper. You may argue the fact that it's 100% isolate, well at our ratio compared to theirs, we run a lot of isolate in our blends, so are you really getting that much more and is it really worth it to go with something that's $5 more expensive and on top of it you're actually not getting as much of the good stuff per container?

As for the other guy you mentioned...

their isolate is an 84% protein to serving ratio. Our Isolate is around 90% and our blend actually get's tested around 80%...so if our blend is around 80% that should give an idea of how high quality the protein is and just how much isolate is used along with a very high quality filtered concentrate.

Is an extra $20 per 5lbs. really worth an increase of 4% per serving? I would say it would be if it was in the neighborhood of a 10% increase :)...same goes for the above example with Kaizen...

Also, if you're spending $200, well $200-$499 you get 5% off so that knocks our isolate down to $56.99 and if you consider the protein to serving ratio I believe you'll be paying less for 20lbs going with TS isolate anyways if you want to get right down to it.

Plus you can mix an match flavors with us no matter the quantity...

But, non the less very competitive and yes it is a tough business :)

[Ritch]

It`s good to know your blend is mostly isolate. I read the profile of it and saw isolate was the first ingredient. But for the price I didn`t think it was so. So the blend indeed is a kick ass price But why is a protein that is 100% iso cost nearly twice as much as the blend? If the blend is mostly iso anyway, the price difference for the 100% iso seems expensive. Maybe you can lay out the math so my feabal brain can understand here...

But having said that your blend prices are very good and will most likely give the blend a try as I the kaizen is starting to get old on the taste buds.

How much DHA are in your omega gels? Couldn`t see it listed on the site.

[Canadian Protein.com]

To be honest with you, to run with 100% pure isolate like ours is simply expensive as this is just a very pure form of protein without any other type of protein and as little flavoring, sweetener, and no lactose, cabs, fats, and etc. so that's what you're paying for...but 2 other reasons why our blend is so affordable are:

1) There is concentrate in there - We do run concentrate in our blend but it is an 80% concentrate (which is a very filtered concentrate), which does knock down the price quite a bit. But, like I stated earlier there is quite a bit of isolate in the blend and if you were to try it you'd see that from how well it mixes and the quality of it.

2) economies of scale - We sell more blend than isolate which gives us the opportunity to offer our customers a better price. Basically, every price break we encounter we also pass this onto our customers. So, the more we sell and the more you buy, the cheaper it will be for everyone :)...that goes for all our products and not just protein!

The DHA content of our omega-3 gelcaps is:

Elcosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) -180 mg/capsule
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) -120 mg/capsule

We are also now running these gelcaps with an enteric coating designed to release in the small intestine, thereby reducing fish oil reflux and that unpleasant fish breathe you might sometimes experience with other brands.

We have yet to post this on or site, but is on our to do list ;)

So if you consider the ratios:

Kaizen - 4.4lbs. x 0.85 = 3.74lbs. of protein per unit
TS - 5lbs. x 0.79 = 3.95lbs. of protein per unit


Can you do this calculation but compare PROTEIN (g) per tub? What's in the remaining 20% could make the difference.

[Canadian Protein.com]

Sure Bro,

Kaizen - 4.4lbs. x 0.85 = 3.74lbs. (or 1698 grams) of protein per unit (or per container)

TS - 5lbs. x 0.79 = 3.95lbs. (or 1793.3 grams) of protein per unit (or per container)

In terms of what makes up the rest, well you have the flavoring, sweetners, natural ingredients, natural occuring carbohydrates and fats, etc. just like anything else...protein is no different than any other type of food products.


Can you do this calculation but compare PROTEIN (g) per tub? What's in the remaining 20% could make the difference.

[nisser]

You misunderstood.

Compare the protein per serving size and the number of servings per tub, then calculate the price per gram.

[Canadian Protein.com]

Price per gram:

Kaizen = $0.0236/gram
TS = $0.0195/gram

Serving size and servings per container are kind of irrelevant, companies can put whatever scoop size they want in there which will completely change the serving size and servings per container...you need to look at the protein to serving ratio.

is that what you're talking about?

Is the price per gram before GST+PST or after?

[Canadian Protein.com]

I believe they are both before taxes...

Oh there's another advantage with us...we only charge GST or 5% :)

Well than assuming an order over $99 you are the first and only supplement company I've found that has a lower price per gram. Currently my cost per gram is 0.0216 although the protein isn't as high quality.

It may come down to an issue of conveinence. The website says allow 7-14 days to recieve an order. Do you have a better idea of roughly how long it takes to deliver within Southern Ontario?

[Canadian Protein.com]

no no no, it's 7-14 days to ship the States! Orders in Ontario get shipped from Windsor Ontario...it would only take like 1-2 days bro!

Like if you ordered tonight, it would go out tomorrow then you would get it like within a day to 2 days! That goes for pretty much anywhere in Ontario I would say around 1-3 days roughly for orders in Ontario. As for western Canada like BC, Alberta, Etc, and Eastern it would be at the upper end of the 2-8 day shipping time!

But, southern Ontario Bro, you're go to go! You'll get your fix within at most a few days!

I was looking at the wrong section. Excellent, everything looks g2g. Just noticed you have a store on Dougall. That will make things extra convenient for some of the guys on here from Windsor.

[Canadian Protein.com]

Absolutely bro, I've seen some profiles with Windsor listed as their city!

Did you send for your free samples yet?

$ COST of CONTAINER divided by (# servings per container) x (g of protein per serving)

$/g

Is that what you did?

[Canadian Protein.com]

I'll use our blend as the example:

5lbs. x 79% = 3.95lbs. (or 1793.3 grams) of protein per container
...$34.99/1793.3g = $0.0195 per gram

[nisser]

yeah, we're still not on the same page lol

example:

https://www.svncanada.com/cart_product.php?id=610&type=1

77 servings, 23 g per serving

77 x 23g = 1771g protein

$54.95/1771g protein = 0.03103$/g

[O-Train]

yeah, we're still not on the same page lol

example:

https://www.svncanada.com/cart_product.php?id=610&type=1

77 servings, 23 g per serving

77 x 23g = 1771g protein

$54.95/1771g protein = 0.03103$/g

It's basically the same thing. 6 of one, half dozen of the other. I ran through the numbers. It's the cheapest protein I've ever seen...and I buy my protein from a guy who gets it from the U.S and doesn't charge tax if you pay cash lol...

[Canadian Protein.com]

ya same thing I suppose...reason I didn't use serving size is because I'm not sure how much the serving size of the Kaizen is...I'm going by what the ratio is that Ritch told which is 85%.

I actually had a buddy tell me that he just bought some Kaizen Isolate at costco and he said it was 25g for a 30g serving size which is 83%.

But, as O Hurley said...same thing.

So I'm guessing you live kinda close to the border O Hurley?

[Ritch]

^^^ Those numbers differ from mine. I get 87.5 % protein from vanilla and 85% from chocolate. Still, the diffrence I think comes from the added carbs in the end. Such minute details, I could never give a crap about. As making it almost just increases the % of protein but the cost to do so gets out of hand. And to me it`s just " braging rights" the makers do to say "well ours is higher in protein %" But so what? It`s microscopic in terms of the big picture and real life results.

[Canadian Protein.com]

Hey Ritch,

Did you send for your free samples yet? Why not try us for yourself...you may like what we have to offer :)

[Sean Summers]

I hate to do this but the Kaizen Isolate at Costco is on sale this week. $8 off the previously quoted price.

[Delt King]

Really i heard costco is giving it away free when you buy 25litres of mayo and 500cans of tuna....lol

No, but I know that area well. There are a lot of bodybuilders in that area but sadly not a lot of jobs. I did my first show in Windsor although I think they discontinued the Windsor Cup if I'm not mistaken. I'll have to look into the sample but I'm assuming a standard choclate whey blend will taste fine. Are there shipping charges for the free sample?

[Ritch]

Hey Ritch,

yes I will soon...

[juced_porkchop]

I may work for LG but i am not gonna lie the choc tasted good ;-)

I do love the lipo though.

I will only used con-whey if its 78% and above. if im not sure or compny don't say if it is then screw it. they can have it at 50% and still sell it as 100% whey con. fuk that read between the lines ALWAYS!.

[Canadian Protein.com]

Which chocolate are you talking about?

Hey Bro, ya the Windsor show is no more. But, hopefully a supplement company or a group of guys can come in and get that show going for everyone that enjoyed it. Unfortunately the people that were running it didn't feel they were making enough money...the way we see it...sometimes money isn't everything...what happened to doing things because you and others enjoy them or doing it for the fitness community.

Also, yes all samples are free of charge including shipping! We do this because you can't just walk into a store and buy TrueSupplements protein...so we offer free samples. Plus, we stand behind our products and know that there's a good chance that once your try it out you'll be a customer :D

here's the link to our free sample offer: http://truesupplements.com/pages.php?pID=23

well the gainer did taste better then the pure iso-whey but duhh its got all the good stuff to put on the pounds lol.
honistly I liked the gainer the most but the iso-whey and the whey-con where also great.
vanilla isnt my fave but my gf LOVED it.

Im not gonna short change you because of being with LG and be a sell out.
your protein is great and you got the choc flave on point. :-D

If you like a blended protein I would go with lipo from LG sciences. ;-)

[Canadian Protein.com]

Glad you liked it bro...I didn't know which company you were talking about at first!

I'm not sure if you're referring to our whey blend as "whey-con", but we do have a whey blend that's actually quite high in Isolate and is only $34.99 for 5 pounds! Here's the link: Whey Blend Link (http://truesupplements.com/index.php?cPath=6)

Again, we're very glad you enjoyed them bro! :D

Muscle milk and Quattro by Magnum but both are pricey

[Drummer]

I use Kaizen from Costco. The 8$ off deal was unbeatable anywhere. I will however try TS when I run out, and im already through the first tub. This is for 2 people. I will stop by TS in Windsor and work out a 20lb deal, then report my review here.

~D~

[vazsek]

pvl, it is the only thing i can find that doesn't taste awfull and the price is right
