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.

bolded statement is still true.
whether its raw eggs, boiled eggs, whey, boiled whey, fish meat, chicken meat, soy protein, the protein in them is still good protein and will be digested into its constituent amino acids later in the gut. they still have the essential amino acid and thats our only concern.

what this article inferring to is those sneaky company who deploy sneaky strategy like replacing half of the full-profiled protein with cheap, shitty protein but still advertise as if they had a whole lot the full-profiled proteins.
its like construction company skimping on cements and stuff as long as the building LOOKS okay without considering the actual structural integrity.

i did read thru, but from the nutri facts, they did state protein as the 1st ingredient as u recommended
however like u suggest if there's added amino acid component means the actual protein is lower but they didn't actually shown it, kind of confuse about this part.

all mass gainer and whey product have protein.
its just a matter of what protein.
the protein that we are expected to consume and to exist in such products is proteins that are equivalent to what we get from regular food. protein that contains essential amino acid (protein consisted of many amino acids btw) that arent being produced by our body, needed from outside source, and will be used for growth and repair.
taurine and glycine aka added protein are NOT ESSENTIAL (either being produced by body already or noninvolved in growth and repair).

now which is better:
15g Actual protein + 15g Nonactual protein
vs
30g Actual protein

Also is it better to drink protein before or after workout? (I'm guessing it doesnt really matter, does it?)

And how many spoons to put in one drink and how many times do you drink protein one day?

And drink daily or only on workout days (or maybe rest days?)

read the sticky. its a great detail, but just a detail. if your nutrition whole day sucks, it doesnt matter.

read the sticky. depends on or lean body weight. and your protein intake from food.

same as above. read the sticky.
