Supplements the debate/discussion thread

If they weren't on 25% off I'd have just got a refund and gone elsewhere. Does anyone have any recommendations for alternatives closest to the tropical flavour? :D
 
Although, they did cotact me when they heard of processing issues with a 5kg bag, replaced it and gave me a refund. Does make me wonder what exactly they put in the original bag!
 
After skim reading, so is Taurine recommended for sleep? I've never been someone who can just nod off, I toss and turn for a good 45mins minimum every night regardless but as of late it's been hours. I can't shut my mind off and then when I nod off, I've been waking up through the night. I even ordered a new bed which comes on the 10th even though it probably won't make any difference.

Edit: after reading Taurine on TPW it doesn't mention anything about helping sleep really, I don't however want to become dependant on sleep products, sleep through my alarm or feel even more tired when I wake up.

There are a couple of human studies that show taurine having a significant effect on counteracting caffeine and alcohol in the system - leading to an increase in "deep sleep". My personal experiences with it (I've been taking it for about two months now) is that it definitely helps me not wake up as much during the night. It *may* also help me nod off easier but I'm not sure if that's down to taurine or just me being a bit knackered/healing at the moment.

I've ordered 250g aswell as 250 omega 3s to arrive tomorrow.. Hopefully it works through product or placebo.
 
Don't know if it's a nationwide thing, but the Lidl near me has started doing "high protein rolls" in their fresh baked section. It's just a brown triangular bread roll with a bunch of seeds and stuff, probably quite carb heavy too but 30g+ of protein for 45p isn't all that bad. Never any left when i check though.

Has anyone tried a fried egg in a sandwich with peanut butter? Sounds like it could be tasty or awful in my head, just wondering if anyone has tried it before I go and ruin a perfectly good pb sarnie and egg...

I had a bacon cheeseburger with PB before which worked better than I thought it would

Cannot believe MyProtein. Ordered some BCAA's on the 16th, they sent me the wrong ones. They don't organise a courier collection, only a prepaid label, so I have to take time out of my day to drop it off at the nearest Collect+ point. This was on the 18th. I ask if they're sending out the right product - They say not until we've received the other product back - Bit annoying but fair enough. Message them today asking wtf is going on and I'm told they only just received it back, so my replacement will be dispatched in 2-5 working days by the original postage method...

Are they serious? They do a next day delivery service for orders before 9pm - Just send it to me next day! Why should I have to wait another 2-5 working days + postage for a second time?!

Have you use Theproteinworks, I find the protein better tasting, I digest it better whereas MP protein seems to constipate me lol and their service is amazing. They split from MP if I remember rightly and formed their own company. If you do try them out use my code LH44983 and get a free bag of protein with your first order and I get a fiver :D

cheers
 
MyProtein's CS is pretty awful tbh. I eventually got a replacement item "as a courtesy" after they sent me protein that was incorrectly flavoured with the extremely rank/fake-tasting vanilla after weeks of messing about. They never admitted fault even though it clearly wasn't the unflavoured it was meant to be. I'm still using them for the time being as they're cheap for quite a lot of stuff but..bleh..I have no affection for them.
 
So I'm about to order some samples from MP.. any recommendations on flavours to try for a first-timer? I'm thinking chocolate smooth and strawberries and cream seem quite popular. Just before I dive in and get a big bag!

Also, any useful codes out there? Maybe for free delivery or something? Thanks! :)
 
I always go flavourless personally. Usually higher percentage by weight of the stuff you actually care about and I tend to try to down whatever I'm drinking asap as even the flavoured stuff tastes like butt. Some people like it though.

There are some codes on the usual sites (google myprotein voucher code) and you can also do the refer yourself trick - create a second account and use your own referal code for 5% off.

let me know how it goes and what tastes good.

sign up to the news letter always getting spammed with offers from MP i missed the late night 40% off er the other week :(

would like to find a good tasty protein but there's so many types and blends i'm completely lost.

just want something that tastes good and is suitable for either pwo, or say after getting in from work and to tired to eat much and going straight to bed so something i can chuck some oats in shake an drink quickly before sleeping.
 
Well damn, looks like they don't have all the flavours (well specifically strawberry cream) on the sample size... Any recommendations guys? This is only going to be drunk post-swimming a couple of times a week. I'm no gym rat but just want something decent for recovery and stopping me snacking afterwards.
