How is this compared to Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey in terms of taste and results? Results meaning muscle growth and performance
261625
Muscle growth and performance doesn't have much to do with the type of protein you take its more based on how much protein your taking in every day. I honestly think that optimum nutrition is a better protein, syntha has more artificial sweeteners which are not good in terms of muscle growth. The cinnamon Garham cracker optimum is one of the best proteins I've ever tasted buy its all just based off your own preference. Syntha focuses more on taste but for the price optimum is the one to go with.

It's a much better taste. As for "results," considering my diet and exercise routine is kicking back into gear, I feel much better taking this protein post workout than I did with Optimum Whey.

ON whey has more protein concentration and less calories per scoop then Syntha. Where Syntha is a mixed protein blend with a little added carbs, ON is more of a pure whey isolate protein with little to no carbs. Both use sucralose but I assume they use very little because it doesn't overtake the taste or leave that typical artificial sweeteners aftertaste as when you use a packet of splenda. Taste wise Syntha is tough to beat, I like both, but I tend to grab ON when I want a lower calorie, higher quality protein and grab Syntha when I want great taste and some added carbs. Both are great choices in their own way, you'll see similar performance results as long as you're putting the work in and eating right.

Yup, I mix it with my protein shake everyday. You will barely taste it and you will get better results by taking creatine, make sure to drink lots of water

Hi...I understand your indecision. It's difficult to make a decision on this type of product.I normally go by the claims, how it is processed, and have a good look at the nutritionallabel information. I've used #1 nutrition krill but not the Now brand. Hope this is helpful!

couldn't tell you, but it was effective and didn't taste bad. I had noticeable gains in my recovery as I increased my workout.

It doesn't compare, in my opinion. There is a noticeable boost in energy (for me) with the amazing grass green superfood. Even if you can't tell an energy difference, taste alone should have you buying the Amazing Grass product. Also, as the Amazing Grass Superfood has raw cacoa for flavoring, you get it's benefits as well. win-win. don't waste your time with the Perfect Food option; I suffered through finishing mine (today in fact) and am glad it is gone.

As i have finished the package already, not sure. However, you can just look at the nutrition label on the back. Go to their website, and you can look it up. Or other websites that sell it may have the label you can view the picture of it. Great product though. Price/gram of high quality, organic whey...this is your best bet. I reviewed at least a dozen other organic whey products before choosing this one. I just wish they sold a quantity larger than 2lbs to help bring down the price/gram. Good luck

Both are good products and you should get comparable results from either one. Most whey protein products from major reliable manufacturers are very similar these days. Your own personal goals are the main factor to use in determining your choice. If you want to gain mass, then choose a Meal Replacement Powder or a Mass Gainer. These have considerably more calories per serving than does a whey powder only product. If your goals are more towards staying or getting lean, gaining endurance through exercise, or if you just want to boost your protein intake, then choose a whey powder such as either one of these you have mentioned or others like them.

Ive been using Cytosport Monster Mass. ON Serious Mass is not bad but it has a high carb to protein ratio (5:1). Monster Mass has about 1.4:1 ratio so better carb to protein ratio. Serious mass has creatine while Monster Mass doesn't, whichever is your preference. I havent tasted Serious Mass but Monster Mass tastes good. I would recommend Monster Mass.

This is actually a difficult question to answer as there is much debate on the topic. Truly, it depends on your goals. If you are in a "Paleo Challenge", you'll want to consult the rules (some people say whey is not paleo because it is derived from milk). However, if you are simply searching for a healthier lifestyle, but you prefer to supplement your protein intake, then whey is a great option. For the active athlete/person on a paleo lifestyle diet, protein intake is as vital as sleeping. Also, in most whey proteins the irritants and allergens found in actual cow's milk have been removed. Whey isolates are preferred by most athletes for the easy access to increased protein versus price. I hope this helps.

Hi! When I was buying this product i was checking all the ingredients to make sure i got what I really want. And as their web site says "Platinum Hydrowhey is ultra-pure. That's because it's made entirely with hydrolyzed whey protein isolates. So there's no excess fat, cholesterol, or lactose to slow down your progress." I hope my answer will help you! Vitaliy H.

Sorry, I am unable to provide you with a qualified response to your question. However, I strongly stand behind this product for my personal results over the year+ using it. I have never been a supplement fanatic but continue to take one FruitsMax every day after breakfast. I ran out a couple months ago and dI finitely noticed a difference when I went without.

Adrian, muscle recovery and muscle building are the same thing. HMB is a metabolite of Leucine that helps to prevent muscle breakdown and increase protein synthesis. You probably wouldn't notice a difference unless you push your body to the limit several workouts a week prepping for a contest or trying to lose a lot of weight. I still take it in the off season bc it's only a dollar a day and has research to slightly increase muscle gain and to have a synergistic effect with creatine

The original extreme 60 is what I have used for years and it works great. More protein with less additives than the competing brands. As far as I can tell the ripped has a thermogenic in it and other traces of fat burners. As for taste it is pretty much the same, maybe very subtle differences.

Very similar, my nutrition coach and herbalist both sell Macro exclusively citing better control and consistent product. I've not tried the AG, the Macro has been a hit with the entire family so haven't seen the need... I can recommend this product thoroughly, can't really compare except for anecdotally received information. MH

Well I take this whey specifically because of its lack of flavor. Its not completely flavourless; its milky. If you dissolved 1 oz in 8oz of water it will taste like watery milk. It has no sweet or sour ir bitter or savory flavor, its simply milky. Also I'd like to mention it doesnt dissolve easily with a spoon, a blender works better. I always end up drinking undisolved bits but I don't mind it becaise i know its a low processed whey. But take that into account. Other than that I think this whey is excellent for weight loss, I take it after weight training with water and it helps me reach my protein goals.
