5 out of 5 stars Excellent protein workout supplement choice   July 29, 2008
Tyler (San Diego, CA)
I've tried a few different brands/varieties of whey protein (my personal preference over soy or other forms) and the pricing plus performance benefits from Optimum (the pricing when buying on Amazon, that is) is outstanding.

I bought the 5.15 pound size, double-rich chocolate. I do weight-training workouts 3-4 times per week and have 1-scoop with milk about 1 hour before my workout and then 1-2 scoops in a fruit/protein smoothie after my workout. Even with that regimen, I feel like I have not made a dent in the amount of protein powder I have left.

More importantly, I feel very good and energized when using this in conjunction with my workouts, and have noticed significant lean muscle mass gains - a testament to this formula packing on the protein without the calories (in addition to obviously maintaining a reasonably healthy diet, etc.)

With the 5.15-pound container, you'll be getting (per scoop):
- 120 calories (10 from fat)
- 1g fat (saturated, 0.5 g) [2% of daily serving]
- 30mg cholesterol [10%]
- 60mg sodium [3%]
- 3g Total carbs (sugars 1g) [1%]
- 24g Protein

The mix tastes good, blends "relatively" easily with milk (even after some vigorous stirring, you will still find little "globs" of gooey protein powder that never completely dissolved), blends very well if you use a blender, and is overall a great product that I'd recommend to anyone wanting to get more from their workouts or who simply want a good protein isolate/essential amino acids supplement).



4 out of 5 stars Fantastic!   July 22, 2008

The taste is much better than any protein powder I've tried so far. I totally recommend this!

The only reason I give it a 4 is because it remains clumpy after stirring like 10 million times. I should try a shaker...

This is the best protein on the market! Also, if you buy the 10 lb bags online you can save a ton of money rather than going to GNC and paying outrageous prices for half as much.


5 out of 5 stars Great service, great product   July 11, 2008

It came in a couple of days, way faster than what I paid for. The packaging is good, spoon is included (you may have to dig a bit for it, but it's there.)

I gained 23 pounds in 3 months using this product together with their creatine. Highly recommended. The taste is, well, alright. It's not tasty or anything, but hey, it's protein powder.

Buy the "Ultimate Shaker Bottle" if you're looking for a good shaker, only 4$ and will last you a long time.
