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.

They have a new option where you can get it in Whey. I ordered the soy version (even though the image said Whey) it still came to me correctly.

I think it tastes way better. It's sweeter and has more of a chocolate taste. I stopped drinking MM after I stumbled on optimum nutrition.

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.

It depends on what others you're comparing it to. I used an online ranking and to me it was good enough, especially for the price. There were some above this one with exceptional quality that were also considerably pricier. This one was still sufficiently above average in quality for a price that is nearly below average, and the taste was pretty decent (I got the chocolate flavor). I wish I could find the scale for you but I have no idea where I placed it, but you might get something doing a Google search. BTW, when I say quality I am mainly referring to protein content/ratio.

my understanding is that it is neither. it is the whole components of whey, I suppose more like concentrate but since it is grass-fed, cold processed I will assume as I said, neither which is a good thing, it is far less processed than most whey isolates or concentrates, like eating a whole food instead of a packaged food. maybe someone else can be more precise.

I believe that statement is making a claim of protein "by weight", it's not compared like apples to apples. An ounce of tofu vs. an ounce of spirulina is probably a better way to look at it.

That frustrates me too. Why mess up a otherwise great product? Practically everything is using this crap now. I think I will try the Raw Organic Whey - USDA Certified Organic Whey Protein, 12oz next. But the shipping is killing my pockets. I wish I could get it locally.

I did no think so, it was not a great tasting product at all to me. I only finished the container because I am not a fan of wasting money. If you are looking for a protein that has a good strawberry milk taste go with Optimal Nutrition strawberry. It tastes good and seems to be a much better product. It costs a little more but well worth the few extra bucks.

As far as i know, no. Soy protein is made from plants and whey is from animals. If you want a leaner look go for soy or if you want more muscle go for whey. Whey generally has more grams of protein per serving compared to whey. And to be honest my experience whey works best for me because i do more cardio its generally harder for me to gain weight and keep it on. But with whey protein ive seen beautiful results. This is actually a great and economic brand for use 10 stars all around.

There are two different Muscle Feast unflavored whey isolates. I've had both the 26g and 24g. I pick up the former if it's in stock and the latter if not. They both taste the same and haven't affected my lactose intolerance.

Yes, and yes. We've been using Source Organic at our CrossFit box for close to a year, now. Everyone who's tried it swears it's the cleanest, best performing whey they've ever tried. If you're going to be consuming a lot of whey, you want some that works! The only complaint we've ever had is that it's nearly flavorless, which most find is a benefit.

I can't speak to that comparison as I've never tried the whey formula. However, I can tell you this flavor is very smooth and rich. It blends well with milk and doesn't taste chalky. I've been using it for seven months now.

I'm almost 40 and noticed an immediate gain in strength and endurance at the gym in only a couple days after I started taking. So I guess you could say the long term affect is achieving the desired physique. I'm pretty certain I will have to remain on the product to maintain the testosterone levels. I have been off for a week now, as suggested by the manufacturer between bottles, and have had slight decrease in both now at day seven. I was late ordering so it will be about 9 days elapse in time prior to taking my next recommended dosage. There is a cycle of 5 days on and 2 off along with a week off between bottles. Maybe its so your body can start producing its own after so long? The manufacturer contacted via e-mail a week after receiving to see how it was working. I'm sure he'll (Cliff) we'll respond to you question as well. I like the question and will look forward to his response. This along with the Bullet Proof Diet has has dramatic results for me.

To be honest, I only bought it that one time, I am using a different product now. I liked protein 17 but they don't have it any more, so I am using "Source Organic Whey Protein 2.0 Lbs Bulk"... I don't even remember reserveage organics... sorry.

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.

Yes, it is clean/pure. I absolutely LOVED this whey protein. I don't suggest mixing it in water only. I couldn't stomach that. But it works great in pretty much everything else. It is as pure as pure gets :)
