Whey Protein, who's your hookup?

Just FYI for those looking into Dymatize, forget the Elite crap. Their premiere product is the ISO 100 line.

01g carbs
24g protein per scoop
104 calories per scoop
0 cholesterol


It instantly dissolves in water (maybe 8 seconds with a teaspoon stirring) and it has no fillers, so it doesn't even change the viscosity of the water. I get the vanilla so I can mix it w/anything - like a tablespoon of 100% peanut butter or maybe a handful of frozen blueberries or frozen banana.

This is the best product I've ever found for a protein supplement. Their Elite series is like a milkshake by comparison.

How does it compare taste wise to Syntha-6? I've tried a few and I've really liked Syntha

It tastes fantastic. And, by the way, I think Syntha 6 is great too. The biggest difference, though, is that Syntha 6 has added ingredients that act as thickener. The ISO 100 doesn't have any thickeners. It's an isolate, and it's extremely fine, having been processed to dissolve completely. So, when you put it in water, or whatever liquid, the viscosity of the liquid doesn't change. I mean, I suppose if you took 8 ounces of water and put 10 scoops in, it would thicken, but taking one or two scoops and mixing with a few ounces of water has almost no change in the viscosity of the water. It's much easier to drink this way if you're like me and have 3 of these shakes a day. I put two scoops in 6 or 8 ounces of cold water, get 50 grams of easily digested isolate protein in there, and I get no stomach trouble, don't feel "full" or anything else that I'd ordinarily experience consuming 50 grams of protein in any other drink that I know of.
 
I used to use Muscle Milk and a co-worker turned me on to Dymatize ISO-100. I think the MM tastes better, but it comes with a bunch of "extras" and the ISO-100 doesn't. ISO-100's Gourmet Berry is a good flavor and I have some vanilla and cookies and cream on the way. As a plus, they have 10 serving sizes so I can try the different flavors...I'm kind of picky when it comes to taste and texture and I didn't care for the Syntha-6.

For the foreseeable future I'm sticking with ISO-100 and will keep some MM around as a meal replacement/ additive when our food choices aren't the best. YMMV.
 
I can't speak to Dymatize, but MM is more costly than pretty much any other protein out there. MM's serving is 2 scoops Vs. 1 scoop for 99.9% of other proteins. I think it's one of the best tasting, but the 2 scoop serving size doesn't sit well with me. I've been using ON (several different types of their stuff) for a few years now and I love it.

That is probably the only fault I have with Syntha is it gets a weird texture because of how thick it gets sometimes when I use milk instead of water.

I'll try the Dymatize ISO-100 next... I've tried both Muscle Milk and I believe the other one they make Monster Milk or something like that... While I agree it's a great meal replacement it sucks using two scoops as the serving size. However as far as taste it's one of the best I've been able to try out.

I think as a pure recovery formula when you're one of those skinny guys Muscle Milk Collegiate is great. I was taking that for awhile and I would only used one scoop. I used Endurox once, and the only reason why I used it once and I probably should have kept using it (MM Collegiate was similar), was that for the quantity you got when purchased was extremely small. But if you're working out twice a day, whether it's two MA sessions or a long distance run and a long lift you'll be ready to go taking Endurox post workout twice a day.

The thing about Muscle Milk for some of us old bastards is sometimes it can be tough on the stomach.

Muscle Milk is an interesting product. I can drink the pre-made bottles that are sold in convenience stores and pharmacy coolers all day long. Love 'em. They taste great when they're cold, and never had a digestion problem with them. But the powder Muscle Milk? I can't digest it. I get volcanic stomach acid from that stuff, and I know I'm not alone in that. When it started happening, it was right before bed; I'd take a few scoops and 20 minutes later- BAM- acid reflux. So I Googled it, and there are forums with people talking about this exact problem with the powder shakes.

That's one of the reasons I have such a glowing review for Dymatize ISO 100. I have taken as many as 4 scoops in 32 ounces of water, and never had a digestion problem of any kind.

I'm not disputing you, but I'm the opposite. I've never had stomach issues from it and I'm missing my gall bladder.

One thing I'll do, to expand on an earlier post, is mix MM a little thick when meals here suck or I'm dying for a snack. Otherwise I'm using ISO-100. MM has become a meal supplement and I think it does a great job at that.

Are you talking the pre-made little single serve, or the powder mix?

I forget which it is, but it has something to do with some element of milk products that I think I can't digest. I actually called their customer service, complained about my issue, and they sent me a case of the individual serve bottles- a pretty cool gesture on their part.

Sorry, I should have included that. The powder is what I use.

It sounds like I'd rather have your problem instead of no gall bladder. :-)

You can't post something like that and not expect to get more hates. Especially when it's my boy Pardus who hates on you.

Has anyone tried Hemp FORCE? The protein is derived from Hemp seeds, Joe Rogan always reps it on his podcast(granted that they pay him too). Seems pretty expensive as well.
