Supplements the debate/discussion thread

Struggling with which protein power to go for.

After lean gains without the fat :p

Reflex natural whey - 19.5g protein (25g serving)
Reflex instant whey - 20g (25g serving)
myprotein impact whey isolate - 22.25 (25g serving)
myprotein impact whey protein - 19.6g (25g serving)

myprotein doesnt seem to be much cheaper than reflex?

Whats difference between reflex natural and reflex instant, would it be right to presume natural has no added crap in it? :D

Was going to supplement whichever with creapure and instant oats.

There really isn't much difference in terms of gains at all, go for the cheapest. Doing it as detailed below you will get the protein for half what the Reflex will cost you.

Never had a problem with MP stuff. The only issue was the delivery guy not leaving it over the fence if we weren't in, meant I had to go collect it. Sorted that out by leaving a signed note on the door.
 
Ive heard myprotein are going down the pan though and deliveries taking forever?
They appear to be victims of their own success. If odering small amounts you should be fine but place an order for many items and it takes just one flavour or amount to be out of stock and it holds everything up. Their busy order process can't seem to cope when things don't run exactly to plan.

If ordering 1 or 2 items, using pricematching, quidco, discount codes and free delivery then they're hard to beat.
 
^ If you look on their FB page there is a huge amount of complaints. Obviously the thousands of satisfied customers don't post anything though.

myprotein.co.uk We agree that recently the level of customer service that some MP customers have received has been below par. The growth has far exceeded all expectations so we are now making every effort to ensure that we return to the service levels that our existing customers have become accustomed to and would provide an exceptional customer experience to new customers. Customer satisfaction has always been paramount to our success so we are leaving no stone unturned in resolving this situation as soon as possible. Our recruitment programme is continuing and will do so until we have a team capable of handling all customer contacts in a timely and professional manner. We apologise that some of our customers have experienced issues over the past few weeks but please rest assured that no stone is being left unturned in our efforts to return to first class service levels as soon as possible.

Can agree with that, I only ever see people moaning on there, but always assumed it was a case of the satisfied people not speaking up!
 
Probably is but the number of complaints has been pretty high recently. Certainly more than it was 4-5 months ago. Hardly surprising though if they've grown as fast as they make out
 
Meh, never had any issues personally.

If it's just delivery times being stung then they need to get on to whoever does this for them.

I normally just select the cheapest Yodel option and its here within the week.
 
Has anyone tried the Cookies and Cream flavour - any good?

Down to 1/4 of a bag on my Choc smooth so I need to re-order soon.

Also, other than levels of protein is there anything different in using isolate?

It's not so great mate, and I'm an avid fan of cookies&cream ice cream!

Grab either;

- Banoffee
- Vanilla

My personal favourites :p With dextrose in those two also, the flavour is orgasmic! :p:D

Isolate is lower in carbs from lactose so can be useful if you're sensitive to lactose but apart from that there's not a lot to justify the price.
 
Gotta say, never really had any issues with MP. Made a small order on Monday for omega 3 oil. Got an email on wednesday morning telling who my delivery driver would be and that he would deliver between 13:11 and 14:11.
Can't really ask for better than that. I have made some larger orders, but again, never had an issue with stock, or delivery.
 
Just got some Jack 3D, doesn't seem anything like the stuff I had last year! Gutted, it was really good before.

May stick to No-Explode.

did they take the 1,3 stuff out?

Morba gave me half a pot last year, was buzzing for the first week when using it, second and third weeks were meh as my body got used to it.

Come downs were pretty horrendous.

Not sure, not checked the ingredients. I was buzzing off it last year, used it lots for running I never had come downs from it.

Used it last night and it wasn't great, do have a cold and had a headache which prob wasn't the best time to take it.
