I have a few brands that I know are spiking the protein content with aminos. Not sure the sellers in malaysia are matured enough to accept that certain brands of proteins are "not good enough".

kudos to u for bringing this up. i've known this issue for some time now but not quite sure about the maturity of sellers/readers here. some prefer to be ignorant, and stick with the "protein is protein" claim, but i always stick with a few solid brands, just to be sure.

hmm not sure about the policy here but in bb.com forum, company reps are being bashed for not being clear in the ingredient list, so don't think they worry about legal issue there as long as u have the facts/studies right.

that's the actual purpose of this thread, ain't it?

it's not the fault of the seller.
it's the fault of the manufacturer.

it's up to the customer to decide which are the good/bad ones.

is it that hard to learn to read labels?

I suggest you read all the posts before this. someone has answered that. there is a reason why certain aminos are used to spike the protein content and certain are not.

spend a good 10minutes to read this if you want to understand the protein spiking issue in depth.

where is the whole label?

the amount of protein per serving, spiked or otherwise, is enough to justify not buying it.

I'm not doubting the quality of the protein. I'm just saying you only get 5g of protein per serving. You will need 5 servings to match ON whey 1 serving in terms of protein amount. For 300g that's almost like 9 servings of ON whey for RM60. How's that considered good?

ON Whey is fine. downsides are price and taste. But quality protein nonetheless.

There are only a few brands that I trust. Dymatize, Animal, ON, Grenade and few other brands not sold locally here.

ON is always meh. Dymatize is so so.

Animal is good.

correct. universal is a solid brand, has been around the longest time.

ejinutrition is doing merdeka promo. check them out.

p.s i don't work for them, just to let you know where you can get it cheaper.

I'm not a fussy drinker, so anything chocolate is fine. But the one I had is not sold here, it's Chocolate Chocolate Chip.

Even with blend, companies are supposed to list our the ingredients. so just need to go through the ingredient list to find if it has additional aminos and creatine.

musclemania has more shops in klang valley. ppl still prefer to buy from shops

Are we still discussing something legal here? Everdying
