which whey is the right whey?

psd99 · 28 Sep 2017 at 11:30

Hi I wanted to know which whey you all have?

I used my protein for many years but they have seriously gone downhill now.
I find their powder unmixable and gave me stomach cramps

USN are good but overpriced
what you all have?

Avoid Myprotein as you say, the quality is garbage and it's cheap for a reason. It gives me and nearly everyone I know who used to use it bad guts. I actually thought I had IBS but as soon as I switched from Myprotein whey, it seems to have cleared up and I'm fine, but still using whey

I currently use CNP as a brand, just because I get it at a very good price. However, GoNutrition or BulkPowders are meant to be very good. I used to use TheProteinWorks but they seem rubbish lately in terms of stuff being in stock and the products having ingredients changed

yes regarding my protein wow so badly downhill

I would not use them again for whey! very very poor.
no whey!

Not sure what protein you guys have been using but I still think MyProtein are the best value and quality protein supplier.

I don't use the cheap Impact Whey though, is that what you're referring to?

I use the Native Whey 95 for PWO and Vegan Blend any other time.

I use Icon brand Whey

Scitek is the shizzle. Their lemon cheesecake protein is a game changer

I use bulk powders informed whey. It's expensive but the added ingredients make it easier on the stomach compared to basic whey imo. Also the taste isn't entirely awful.

MikeTheNative · 3 Oct 2017 at 12:29

Another vote for bulk powders. They have offers on all the time though so don't pay full price.

Jono · 3 Oct 2017 at 14:17

What's the best way to weigh whey?

psd99 · 3 Oct 2017 at 16:16

which bulkpowder though and flavour?

prosk · 3 Oct 2017 at 16:32

I'm using Informed Whey, double chocolate.

Is it free from the usual horrid aftertaste that most flavoured whey seems to have? I can't stand sweeteners. What is the normal BulkPowders whey like? Is it better than MyProtein whey?

prosk · 3 Oct 2017 at 17:18

The aftertaste isn't as bad but still kinda there tbh. I haven't used myprotein for a few years now but IIRC the basic whey from BP and MP was pretty similar. I think the plain whey is fine if you don't have any lactose issues.

Trusty · 3 Oct 2017 at 23:13

I've always just used the basic whey from MP, never had any issues. To be fair, I can't stand paying like £40 for whey when I chug 30g of it everyday.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard is nice if you can catch it on offer, Amazon do deals every now and then, I don't think I've ever paid full price for it though. Agree MyProtein Impact Whey is pretty bad these days, I used to get stomach and wind problems from it like another poster said and I didn't realise for quite a while that was the cause!

Try white chocolate, Pure series. Mixes well and taste great even my gf switched from Vegan blend to white chocolate whey.

I hate to sound like I'm dismissing your opinion but nah, Myprotein are just utter ****. I stopped using their Impact Whey and moved to the Isolate which was better on my stomach, no issues there but the flavours and how easy it would mix was just terrible, it would be gritty/chalky, again, moving on to other brands and I'm yet to experience the same issue. There's a reason they've had multiple test results leaked on their Whey which showed the quality being far lower % wise in terms of protein advertised to what was actually in there. They used to be brilliant, but then they got swallowed up by a bigger company and quality went out the window in exchange for bigger profits.

Vegan Blend I couldn't vouch for, but that's a very niche product that not many people are using

Vegan blend tastes like dirt.

I'm a big sucker for the Grenade Carb Killa bars since they taste the best by far. Has anyone tried their protein powders like the Hydra 6?
