That was before the laser hair removal. Now I look like this:

Obviously its the only protein that I use and I am addicted to Grape. The watermelon to me is a bit too sweet. I would be the first to say if I noticed anything since I am the one flavoring these WPIs. Everybody's taste buds are different no doubt. Rather shocking though that the NEW and Improved formula and flavoring and mixability has been out for so long and this is the first complaint I have received or heard of.

Not a shot or a jab, just a questions. Do you drink coffee and/or smoke?

I had mixing problems with old formula.

Never a problem with new & improved.

Taste is always on point.

Hey ChuckRD,
If you are ever in the Northeast doing a conference please post it up. Even better if CPE's are available for RD's, then I could get it paid for.

Hey chuck, nice to see you reply. I have to admit im a fan of some of your work. Anyways, I must say this is the new formula, but it is not quite new, ive had it over a couple of months. I havent opened it since i was waiting for my other proteins to be used up. Im gonna go ahead and send it back and try another one, this is not a "bad flavor" taste. I use protein powders way to much due to my GI system being screwed up most of the time and used the grape flavor as a staple, so im what you could consider a protein connaisseur.

Please keep me posted. Before you return it, can you tell me the lot number so i pull a retained sample and test it to make sure it is what I made? Hey with blending and bottling younever know if the bottle you got was the last few to be ran and that the citric acid was in too high concentration. It should not do that, but **** happens.

Also, take advantage of the board sponsor status that you share with scivation and upgrade to receive PM's and such. That way us folk on the board would know who and what Co. you are asscoiated with. Just an idea.

Just pulled and tried. This lot is perfectly perfect.

I have to say I just tried mine yesterday too. It mixed well, nice flavor (citric acid is prominant which some can consider "rancid"), however, I took it to the 4 kids across the street and all 4 loved it....That is my true test. When children and or regular active people like my flavoring, I know a fitness, bodybuilder, performance athlete will like it too. The only other think I can think of is that the bottle got too hot (hot and humid weather in transit) and maybe broke down some flavoring or WPI. Hmmmm

I hate to say it but I am having clumping problems with #5234J10 1851, exp 08/22/2007.

I just finished a bottle of 5234J10 1839, exp 08/22/2007 and had no issues.

I have gone thru no less than 4-2lb containers of the "New & Improved" in the past few months and have had no flavor or clumping issues. I have 2 jugs in the closet from different lots. I say this so you know it is not my first time using the product and that I obviously like it.

Those are the same lot.

[jonny21]

That's strange. That ever happen before?

Would the container being in direct sunlight and possibly heating up a bit effect the product?


EDIT:
Believe it or not, this is a shaker bottle issue. I just purchased a new one from the Vitamin Shoppe (bodytech) and it doesn't have the standard mesh screen. I used my older for my last 2 batches and had no problems.

Thanks for your response and sorry for the false alarm.
