Isopure protein powder

JustinE22 Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/09/18	2004/10/13, 05:03 PM Just picked up a tub of this stuff vanilla cream flavor, WOW!!! Taste like a vanilla milk shake, best tasting vanilla protein powder on the market hands down. Mixed mine with a dash of giner and cinnamon w/ 1/2 cups oats and it's just delicious. Down side-it's alittle pricey almost $40 for a 3lbs. tub, but you get what you pay for. Shop around for prices, vitamine shoppe has it priced pretty good a little under $40.:big_smile:

My reply was going to be fine, but a bit overpriced. You have found that out already though I see. They do have some tasty flavors. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

Isopure seems like a pretty decent protein. I've always kinda looked at protein powders as just that and shopped on flavors and whether it's whey,isolate.ect...

JustinE22 Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/09/18	2004/10/13, 05:50 PM I use to use VP2 whey, i don't know about the taste though. but was good stuff but recently heard bad things about their company. There was also a post on here a while back about a couple of people who got arsenic poisining from AST products, not sure if it's true though. But i've had just as good gains with nectar protein and it tastes way better than VP2

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2004/10/13, 10:08 PM Hey isn't Isopure Protein the protein with very few carbs in it or none at all? Are you in a cutting phase Justin?
JustinE22 Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/09/18	2004/10/14, 02:55 AM No i'm bulking right now, yes it has very low carbs, 3g only which is why i use it on my off days since i don't have a PWO shake i blend it with some oats and have in between meals so i get the smae amount of protein and carbs as on a workout day.
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/10/14, 10:46 AM I would be willing to bet many of the proteins out there that are flavored are using aspartame or splenda. If you are not using any other aspartatme in your diet, I do not think the bit in the flavoring for your protein will hurt you. ============ Quoting from JustinE22: n/m it says it uses asprteme, don't know about that.:surprised: ============= -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
JustinE22 Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/09/18	2004/10/14, 01:05 PM Is sucralose a sweetner? and would splenda and asparteme be considered artificial sweetners?
dahayz Posts: 794 Joined: 2002/05/08	2004/10/14, 02:08 PM Anything that isn't sugar will be considered an artificial sweetner. But, with Splenda, which makes it unique is that it is the only one that is actually derived from sugar. During the process a certain molecule is left out which allows it to pass through your gut without being digested, thus 0 calorie. And if I am not mistaken sucralose and Splenda are the same? Not to sure on that though. I agree with bb1, I wouldn't worry to much about the aspartame.

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/10/14, 06:46 PM I would opt for whey isolate. Easier on the stomach than concentrate if you have any lactose problems for instance. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
JustinE22 Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/09/18	2004/10/14, 08:16 PM there's two isolates, micronized and ion-exchange i believe what't the difference, and which is better?

JustinE22 Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/09/18	2004/10/14, 11:06 PM Thanks for the link bb1, as far as choosing a sweetner for flavor which is a better choice splenda or asprtame?
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/10/15, 10:39 AM Probably splenda by a nose. You can always add your own you know. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2004/10/15, 10:47 AM I use to use Splenda in mine
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/10/15, 11:39 AM The reason I say this is there are folks who are not fond of using either(I am one), stevia seems to be the safest and best though a bit more pricey. ============ Quoting from bb1fit: Probably splenda by a nose.
