Anyone want to share their experience using this product?
I've been using it for the last 2 weeks and I think it's good stuff but doesn't taste real good.

Any opinions on AST products in general?

I'm debating wether I should reorder 2Lb VP2 go a cheaper route with ON's 10Lb protein for a coupld of dollars more.

I used this product in the past, pretty decent results but your right it does taste like crap. I've been using nectar by syntrax and it tastes 20X better and I am getting excellent results with this stuff. This should be PWO protein only since its an isoltae.

Syntrax is about the same price. But VP2 is supposed to be the highest quality 100% protein... or something.

I think I'll stick to ON's for a while longer. Much cheaper w/10LB bags that last along time.

But... Why PWO only for isolates? I don't understand whatt all those terms mean yet. isolates, hydrolized etc...

The percentage they are refering to is the % of whey protein isolate. Which is whey in it's darn near purest form. They isolates will be absorbed and utilized bye the body quicker.

the percentage we are talking about isnt that same as the amount of protein your ingesting to body weight. The % in question is the % of the type of protein vp2 contains.
