It kind of is!

Evening all quick question for you all? I'm currently using Gaspari myofusion to top up my protein intake but I'm thinking of giving the Myprotein site a go, the nearest product to myfusion I can find is the Myprotein - total protein does this sound right?

Why do you choose this over regular whey? But the total protein seems similar.

Ephedrine? You mean that drug that is illegal to possess without valid license, and therefore probably not a good idea to discuss on this forum?

Is this true? Thought it was just illegal to sell.

It is fine provided you have a good reason (i.e. research license, prescription). If you do not, be prepared to have it confiscated (assuming anybody checks... Which they won't).

It was recommended to me, tried it, seemed to work so haven't had the need to change. What would you says best just to increase my protein intake? Other than eating

Impact whey from MyProtein is fine?

Otherwise, eat more

JRI: What is in your brand of supplement? Protein. What is in a balanced diet/other protein supplement? Protein.

More expensive stuff might taste nicer or whatever, but practically speaking (which is the important bit, anyway), it's exactly the same. Don't waste your money.

yeah but if it says turbo 9000 on the tin obviously its better?! think of the gainz jeez.. some of them even have GMZ9599(sugar) and BDA10049(sugar)

on a serious note, i do lol at the advertisement of supplements.. all of it so cringe worthy

You can buy products containing Ephedrine over the counter from a pharmacy w/out a prescription.

And how much ephedrine do you get in those products? :confused:

Steedie · 25 Jun 2013 at 10:42

20mg

Which is by no means a small dose given tabs off of steroid sites are 40mg per tab. I know plenty of bodybuilders who buy these products from Boots and use them for dieting

Consider me schooled!

My understanding of the law was incorrect: it's illegal to supply in packs over the 9-blisters available in Boots (bulk packs cannot be sold). There is no restriction on the number of packs to be bought. :confused:

The theophylline doesn't sound pleasant, however.

Jon33 · 25 Jun 2013 at 17:45

Does anyone know of any discount codes for MP or bulkpowders?

Skunkworks · 25 Jun 2013 at 17:48

MJ22982 gets you £5 off you first order with Bukl Powders. That's all I have at the moment.

They have a great selection - the whey protein concentrate will be absolutely fine for bumping up your protein intake. Much cheaper than the Gaspari too.

If you use code cW5145 when you sign up you get a 250g back of protein free too.
