Hi all, I'm looking for Pro-Antium (4.74 Lbs.) but the website that I trusted always sold out sad.gif

I'm planning change to "Pro Star 100% Whey Protein" (10 lbs), this is much cheaper and 15x servings... but the protein is 5g lower than Pro-Antium.. not to mention 5g Creatine and 2.5g Betaine in Pro-Antium.

please advise where can I get this Pro-Antium, or you guys review about "Pro Star 100% Whey Protein"

tqvm and have a good weekend. smile.gif

You only need lean body-weight * 2.2 grams of protein per day.... which is quite easy to get with some chicken.

Yes you're right bro. And it's cheaper too. Maybe I'm just lazy so I always take whey proteins, milks, eggs, and soy bean as supplements.

My weight is around 64-66kg. Planned to build muscle and keep it on solid 70kg.

Let me begin by saying im a newbie too. But it seems the amino profile not is that good. The 5g extra protein may come completely from Glycine, which is a kinda filler. The other contents ie carbo and fats are also higher than norm.

Creatine works differently on each individual, I stack it with my Prostar whey but seems to have no effect so far.

Prostar though, tastes kinda bad to me, probably because I switched from Muscletech which contains more sugar.

But protein supplements are still supplements at the end of day, just found UN Prostar kinda good value for money, no complain apart from the taste

May refer to below link on how to spot good protein:

3 years ago I used to buy Whey cause RM1/gram of protein wise it was the same price as eggs. But after Najib did his magic protein powders are out of the question edy.

U mean 3 years ago eggs cost RM6, since egg contains about 6g of protein? Ya meh!?

Or u meant to say RM/gram without the '1'? But if u can load up that much chicken meat (like 400g, based on 1.5lbs per kg of body weight?) then no point going for supplements. Then again, u miss out the nutrients from other food/ source of protein.

So for most people, whey is the easy way to meet protein intake requirement, mirite?

Without 1. It's a ratio.

Omg 400g.... Milk, bread, rice, eggs, soya beans, biscuits, pizza, burger also got protein lar. You can & should get protein from variety of sources. I eat 150~200g chicken breast per day.

I used to take "branded" whey protein like muscle tech and ON.. are these considered as "good protein".. can u just intro some specific name of protein brand/model for me?

I think prostar might taste like shyt ad.. cheap and kinda cap ayam brand. But it's cheap, and 25g of per scoop as well. So I want to try, jimat cermat mah.

Thanks brother, kindly advise ya.

Eh so you know the problem already right? I guess you should work on that first.

Talk about price, if cook our own, yes real is cheaper. But when eating out, even mixed rice, the price / gram of protein is about the same. Mixed rice nowadays is darn expensive ranting.gif
The reason I take whey is adding more varieties to my daily intake, so I don't get bored of anything, or running out of ways to cook.

I have only tried Muscletech and now taking Pro star so couldnt recommend anything else apart from that.

I haven't tried ON, though i think it is really good the gold standard like the name suggests. If u could go for Muscletech, then might just go for ON for better amino profile, i think alot of bruhs here take ON. Muscletech still have pretty good amino profile, though not the best I think, but taste wise they're perfect!

If u really cannot withstand the bad taste of Pro Star, add some syrup la - not the best idea but the only way to overcome it. Or just be a man, close ur nose and down it! thumbup.gif

Oh ya, after u inevitably have to burp after downing it, the problem is even worse, but u can't have good amino profile, great taste and great price all at once lar. Haha

UN Prostar is hardly shyt... i did some digging.. they have been around for longer than ON. And protein per gram is higher than Pro-Antium (51g per scoop, 30g protein 58% protein by weight vs Prostar 30g per scoop for 25g protein 83% protein by weight)

I'm considering getting a tub of Prostar Casein in Strawberry for variety... apart from my Whey choc.

Pro-Antium looks like great value...until you realise its only 50 servings per 5.6lbs tub.

Hahaha I thought I'm one with spoiled taste, lucky to stumble upon someone else who calls it sh!t, even i don't degrade it like that haha.

There was even 1 video where a guy "tried" to show how to check its authenticity?

Man, I wish I could finish my 10lbs fast then move to ON puke.gif , but I still have like 70-80% to go sweat.gif

Anyway bro, try to shake not too vigorously, so as not to make too many bubbles. It tastes easier to down when i just gently shake it, or rather just turn the shaker upside down and forth; in water though.

your flavor is choclate creme?

does it taste "sour" as I mentioned? My stomach so uncomfortable after had it.. rubbish protein to be honest...

cheap stuff never good, I also bought 10lbs darn it... dunno how to finish one full tub of such "high standard" protein...

gonna had it twice a day (during workday out), fast fast finish and throw it away.

My chocolate creme flavour doesn't taste sour at all when mixed with water or milk. Tastes completely acceptable. I wonder if what you have and what I have are even the same after hearing your comments...

Mine just tastes like a slightly more synthetic chocolate milk shake.

I've used bsn, ON and lastly changed to muscletech.. this muscletech really good protein imo, can see results (maybe placebo effect as I trained harder + eat much better breakfast in those period).

now I changed my mind ad, what brand also sudah. The most important us Protein% in per scoop, so I choose UN Prostar as it's cheapest + highest% of protein/scoop.

Now only focus on meals, supplements, training and rest only.

used to waste many resources (moneyyyy) into creatine as well, now my mindset is easy:

train, makan, rest, repeats.

muscletech usual hav high sodium / creatine added. which both make muscle absorbs more water hence bigger muscle for immideate response.

Mine tastes quite sweet. I don't have any frame of reference since this is my first protein powder so maybe it is less sweet relative to the other brands. But definitely not sour.

From what I gather here both musclemania and Eji are reputable sellers. I'm also wondering if my protein is fake seeing that it tastes better than what all you guys describe. Hahah

Yes, my choc creme also feels sour, and smells really really weird! I literally hold my breathe as i quickly finish it.

I got mine from lelong.my from a seller which i believe is selling genuine product la. Same case with urs, only plastic seal around the cover of the tub. Cheap thing really no good.

Musclemania is made up of filler protein actually, tastes way too good, so that's a red flag too? But I am gonna switch to ON after i finish this tub, no more Pro Star for me
