Hi !

We all know that whey protein powders are often filled with unwanted ingredients such as creatine or even worse, sometimes without informing the customer.

In Europe, a few brands try to compete over transparency, sharing chemical tests openly with their customers.

I wondered if there was such a brand in Malaysia, with maximal guarantee over the ingredients/purity/safety of their product ?
Maybe a few brands i should avoid ?
Where should i buy it ?

Thanks !

Thanks for your replies ! I didn't know Myprotein delivered to Malaysia, makes things way easier.

By the way, are the ON products found in retail shops originals ? They have a code to authenticate the product on www.authenticateon.com,
but i see no trace of 'www.authenticateon.com' on ON's official website on the page about counterfeiting. Why didn't they use their official domain optimumnutrition.com ?
I tried to contact their customer service, but they replied with an automated response to take a picture of the product etc...

Back in the day powders contained lots of crap, a friend's sister worked in marketing for this field, and her everyday advice was "do not ever buy this shit".
I also remember seeing wheys and mass gainers with creatine inside years ago, but it was written on the ingredient list.

A beautiful quote :

You'd take death sentence in Malaysia eating this shit


True, but creatine (or cheap creatine ?) causes some people to store a lot of water. And as i already store a lot of fat in my arms, last time i used creatine during bulking my arms looked like big water balloons...

It does ! But not everyone get the same volume out of it, check this out :

True ! But whey protein is a nice shortcut, allows you to still hit your protein intake goal with minimum investment in time and money.

I guess it depends on one's sensitivity. My mother who had no idea i was working out or taking supplements was horrified when she saw my arms after a few weeks not seeing her and starting creatine. I mean, 20+ years i had known her, 1st time she makes that comment, and no congestion that day as i didn't work out, the coincidence is quite huge.
