BRETTO Posts: 201 Joined: 2002/05/25	2002/07/19, 11:34 AM I'm just about to make a decision on which protein and creatine sup. to buy. After tons of research on this site and others, I found Optimum 100% whey protein 5lbs for $28.99 + $5.95 shipping. They also have a natural formula for the same price. Can anybody tell me if there's anything wrong with this product (like it's not the "right kind" of whey protein) besides the taste or mixability about which I couldn't care less. I just want an EFFECTIVE shake for the cheapest price (big surprise)

Try it out...I see nothing wrong with this brand. If you don't like it, try another one next time. Also, use your search button. I seem to recall a post where someone explained the different types of whey protein (isolate vs. concentrate). -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

Mixes easily in milk or water with a good shake. I have had good results while using it as well. -------------- Ischjli "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -- T. S. Elliot

I prefer that over the Optimum stuff, but I'm sure its pretty close to the same. The Optimum Nutrition whey protien sells for $28.95 on netrition.com, but there's only $4.95 shipping. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

If you have used both what have you found to be the difference, that has you leaning towards EAS? I like to cycle differenet brands, see if I can gain any edge. Love to hear your thoughts. -------------- Ischjli "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -- T. S. Elliot

Like I said in the previous post, its probably pretty close to the same anyway. I prefer the EAS Simply Whey because of taste. The strawberry is awesome. Most 5lb containers of whey concentrate are close to the same price. Just buy a different one every month and see which one you like the best. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."
