Why do you wanna change???
When selecting Protien, look at the blend.
the best is include all basic stack
What blend?
It's just whey.

This thread is getting interesting. lol!

Amen to that! LOL!

I recommend:
Buying pure whey from 4Rings.
or ON Whey.

No need for fancy-pansy stuff like Pro Complex or Syntha6million or Appeton Weight Gain or Nucleartech or iamyuanwu-freaking-awesome-godzilla-whey.

If I want a weight gainer: I just add glucose/maltodextrin/Vitargo into my whey, eat lots of bananas, eat lots of eggs.

As for blends of egg albumin, egg yolk, whey isolates, whey concentrates, whey super-duper isolates etc... no need to bother lah. They all do the same thing: give you protein quick and easy.

Oh, no need to bother with the amino acid sh!t. Protein IS amino acid. LOL!

it's true megamass has low on protien, but you can get extra protien from your diet.
Huh?
The whole point of taking supplements like whey or egg protein powders is because we can't get enough from food sources.

You're getting the whole concept backwards: you are taking the supplements as the main protein source, and using food to supplement your 'supplements'. rclxub.gif

BTW, your body doesn't break down amino acids into nothing. It breaks down protein INTO amino acids (AA), then absorbs the AA.

----------
Is the rate of protein absorption really that important?
Anyone care to give their opinions? I don't really know because I've never bothered with it.

The difference of isolate and concentrate is the pureness of the whey in the raw material.
Isolates (of any protein e.g. whey, soy, egg) is more pure. Up to 97% (if I'm not mistaken).
Concentrates are lower in purity. That means the raw material contains 85-90% of whey/soy/egg/etc.

Manufacturers (ON, BSN, Muscletech, Amway, Nutrilite, etc) buy these WPI or WPC... then add in colourings, flavourings, carbs, etc.
Then *poof*, you've got your product.

It doesn't matter WPI or WPC they use. It's the protein content which matters.
If a brand uses WPC but adds very little crap, you'll still get a good product with high protein %.
If another brand uses WPI, but adds a tonne of carbs (which is dirt cheap), ash etc. Then you get lower protein %. <-- not so value for money.

Probably the the artificial sweetener in ON Whey is causing the thirst.

ic, but most of the protein consumed by weight lifters like myself, we take the ones like ON's rite?the isolates one..for at least or slightly bttr result is - concntrate?is it?or i wrongly misunderstood these things?:Phahaha..

getting pening already now..

Apa benda you rambling? rclxub.gif
Isolate and Concentrate is just the grading of the raw materials (e.g. whey).

'Concentrate' has lower %, 'isolate' is purer with higher %. <--- these 2 are raw materials used to make ON 1000% Platinum Whey, BSN Syntha6,000,000, NuclearTech, etc.

Just shuddup and drink you whey. nod.gif

How about another protien source compare to whey??
Go look up the PER (protein efficiency ratio) value of the protein. PER = Gain in body protein(gm) / Protein intake (gm)

No lah. I don't run marathon.
It's just a short cross country I run for fun. I totally forgot about it until a week before. Then, semangat giler buat training. But I didn't feel it made any difference. LOL!
And I'm not fit. I'm skinny.

natural food is the best as the quality of the protein comes is much better than the syntetic,
Probs about muscletech is their price, because of their clinical studies etc.

Muscletech; CLINICAL STUDIES?!
Are you sure?!

A friend of mine open a supp shop, at kuching.
so when i place order he'll put under his shop's order, then when he came down to kl he'll bring it or he'll post it up to me.


Added on June 29, 2010, 10:45 ambut all in all, the best way to see is not by looking at labels or how much protein it contains per serving etc etc etc, just have to try it out yourself and see which work best for you, to achieve your goals, not everything is the same like in a text book. you have to try it out find it out yourself.
end.

The question should be, do they have a research facility. Supplements are just food stuff. Their 'research facility' is probably no better than Dutch Lady's ingredient mixing lab in PJ.
Just don't fall into the hype of advertisements and marketing.

I'm not saying MuscleTech is poison or bad. If someone suggest that you buy Amway Whey, you'd scoff at them for buying overpriced stuff which is no different from Scivation.

MuscleTech probably cost more is because they advertise more & they add in some funky ingredients to their whey. LOL!
Since you don't pay normal retail price, i guess that's moot point for you. laugh.gif

Like they say: if you can't beat 'em, JOIN 'EM!
They are selling using exaggerated health benefits and claim only their brand of whey is superior compared to others.
I think all MLM company source their whey from the same damn OEM, probably from China.

People has got to learn how to read the damn labels, yo!
