Anyone ever try the NOW brand protein. I'm looking into the megapack, which is 10 lbs but need to hear it's go to go first. THANKS.

I've never tried it, but NOW is one of the best supplement companies there is. So I would say go for it.

yeah i have enjoyed other NOW supplements, i found a NOW protein blend, strawberry flavor at 53 bucks shipped for 10lbs :mischievous:

Thats an excellent deal. Get it!

Great price!

I was just looking at the nutrition facts and there are way too many carbs for my diet. If your not watching your carbs I would say go for it. I eat 30 carbs or less per day though. Still its an excellent product and an excellent company. They have been around forever. I trust them. Just get it already. Worst case scenario is you don't like the taste. Get the Dutch chocolate, I don't think you can go wrong with chocolate. Even if you don't like the taste it can't be that bad.

Here is the ingredient list,

Ingredients: Whey Protein Blend [Micro-Filtered Whey Protein Concentrate (providing B-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, Immunoglobulins and Serum Albumin), Ion-Exchanged Whey Protein Isolate (providing beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, Immunoglobulins and Glycomacro Peptides) and Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Concentrate], Fructose, Cocoa, Natural Flavors, Free-Form L-Glutamine, Soy Lecithin, Xanthan Gum and Stevia rebaudiana Herbal Extract. Contains milk and soy derivatives.

Looks like it doesn't contain any artificial sweeteners, which is always a good thing...

I was just about to post this when you mentioned the profile:

serving size: 42 grams

Ingredients
Calories - 160 - %
Calories from Fat: 15 - %
Total Fat: 1.5g - 2%
Saturated Fat: 1.2g - 6%
Sodium: 81mg - 4%
Total Carbohydrate: 12g - 4%
Sugars: 7.5g - %
Protein: 24g - 50%
Calcium: 72mg - 8%
Potassium: 137mg - 4%
Stevia rebaudiana: 82mg - %

kind of an interesting profile to me.. a whopping 42 grams gets you only 24g protein and a decent amount if carbs as you pointed out

Still if your not watching your carbs like me I would get it.
