Bulkpowders

Anyone ordered items from Bulkpowders?

I was looking to get some Vegan & Dairy Free Protein due to some recent intolerances, Multi-Vitamins and a few other things.

I have used a few other places but this place has some decent prices and good offers.

Thanks.

I ordered some stuff from them the other day and it arrived quickly - same reason as you really, I'm lactose intolerant and they have a lot of alternatives.

Unfortunately I've not used them yet so can't comment on the quality.

What did you order? They have a decent selection so was going to trial them out and see how I got on.

I am a bit dubious about all the reviews hence hoping to get some feedback but will order the smaller sizes of a few.

Never had the non diary protein but can vouch for all their other products that have tried which are very good.

Cheers for that. I trialling the non dairy stuff as always had normal stuff. Also they offers a high dose Vitamin D at a good price and some multi-vitamin so wanted to order regularly from once source.

They even do a beef protein which never knew even existed!

Will report back how I get on if anyone's interested.

Interesting thread

Previously, I've been using the tablets from Holland and Barrett as I'm lactose intolerant as well. I also don't have a H&B store close to me so I also bought the Bulk Powders Lactose 5000FCC tablets. I've used them a few times and they seem to do well I think. I took 1 the other day when work ordered 10 dominoes and ate to my heats content. I seemed to survive the following day, which was nice. However, they're a solid pill form and hard to swallow without a drink. The H&B ones have a soft shell and can be taken on their own.

What is quite nice though is I'm now finding more items in the major supermarkets which don't contain dairy (milk/butter). While this is welcome, not all supermarkets follow suite.

I've used Bulk Powders. They aren't bad, I prefer to use Icon though for protein. I ordered a t-shirt too from Bulk Powders and by God it was tight fitting.

They are my usual goto for protein. No complaints.

Whaaat so you can have a pizza after one of those pills??

Never used any of those particular products but use Bulk Powders a fair bit in general and never had any issues.

BennyC · 12 Jan 2018 at 20:40

Yup, order very rarely these days but no complaints, other than the 1000+ offer emails :rolleyes:

Yes

The only thing my stomach can't do is break down lactose so the tablet does the same job

That's amazing. They're pretty expensive though. Do you not just cut out lactose altogether?

Yes, that's what I do daily. However, on the occasions I don't, CBA or I'm unable too, I will use tablets.

Highly recommended you try the Holland and Barrett ones first.You can occassionally get them on offer, buy 1 bottle and get the other for 1p.

On another note, I highly recommend you watch 'Fork over Knives' on Netflix...it's pretty astonishing!!

Always be extremely careful with these sort of 'scientific' documentaries. Often the makers already have a point of view then cherry pick studies, experts and even edit on the fence/opposing view experts to make their point 'true'.

Their "ultra" fine oats are less than fine, a lot of larger pieces that sit at the bottom of a shake.

The whey also seems to thicken my milk which I've not had from any of the other brands I've had over the years.

Used them couple of times, white chocolate is the flavour of my choice.
