Protein powders

ShooterUK Posts: 53 Joined: 2003/03/23	2003/05/04, 07:45 PM I have currently been using the protein powder "Isopure" I cant really tell if it is doing anything or not, but I want to get the maximum protein powder without all the carbohydrates and sugars, is this powder considered good by advanced lifters? Any advice on which protein to take would be appreciated. thanks.

Isopure is far superior to Nitrotech or other powders that contain any fat or carbs. This is a really good protein powder and provides 4.6 grams of glutamine per serving and tons of BCAA's. If you are looking to get the best powder for your money, then you are on the right track.

Thus you NEED those extra non-protein ingredients. I'd use the Isopure only if you've already taken in some calories from other sources within the last 30 minutes--otherwise, the extra expense is a waste. -------------- . . . to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women . . .

If somebody is on a lower carb diet, which sounds like the case here, then fat and protein will become the primary sources of energy. If this is the case, then no money is being wasted at all. And the other powders have carbs, fat and sugar because quite frankly, it is cheaper and of a somewhat lower grade quality. ALL whey protein is derived from milk, but all whey protein is not created equal. It all depends on your goals.
