It is not better at all.

Taste of some is good but note this is a company whose owner has been sued and seen jail-time

They use egg protein which has terrible bioavailability uncooked. Even if processed I do not trust it. Just not a blend worth buying

Multiple QC Problems in the past (O-rings/rocks found in their powder)
Owner has been to jail twice
Do not trust
Also when questioned about their 3rd party testing their reps fall silent and nothing to back it. They changed their 40/40/20 ratio due to the price of egg protein rising so much as well.
They changed named for the company multiple times. Just questionable. I do not buy supplements based off the taste, if that was the case people would buy phase 8 all the time but in reality that is spiked like crazy, Same with Giant Sports (CNC) which is great, but instead of 27g of protein we get 12g.

Used to give me crazy bad "wind" aswell

Please feel free to request Select from your favourite UK retailers.

We need more places to carry it over here and they often base purchases based on requests.

This, I just finished a tub of lemon meringue and it was delicious, but holy hell it gave me bad gas.

 

[LeanEngineer]

Haven't used it but plan to!!

Meet the owner...just came across this myself.

I tried Trutein a while back because of the profile it promotes, taste amazing. But like others said it's hard to trust a company when this is the owner. Feel bad for recommending this the other day now lol.

 

[alwaysfirst]

It's my favorite protien powder, very tasty and it does help on a cut.

I think that people cry too much about the owners personal life, I have had, and a lot of my closest friends that I trust with my life have had, problems with the law...

Does not really exclude the fact that quality of this product is lacking and these past incidents are just shameful in regards to Trutein

If that doesnt answer your question idk what would... Solid info as always!

That might be true but to say "don't trust it's owner because he spent time in jail" is not fair to the product.

Did you need read the above posts?

Refusal for 3rd party testing

**** found inside of the protein tubs

Using an inferior blend as explained above.


I used Trutein until educating myself, but no longer a fan

 

[AntM1564]

Quality control issues, poor texture, and poor taste turned me off.

 

[paul56778]

Thanks for replies guys. Its just being promoted in the UK as a great product but you have given me a heads up, what about musclepharms combat powder is that spiked cos the arnold one was said to be, also whats Syntha 6 Isolate and Gaspari Myofusion Like are they inferior spiked products to, a product i have been using is: http://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/informed-whey.html

LMAO @ this thread. Funny how when the owner was around here and I think a sponsor everyone loved the protein and it was constantly recommended in every protein thread. Shameful that people are basing their opinion of the company off of the owners personal life and problems. I don't know the man personally and haven't walked in his shoes so I'm not gonna pass judgement. Saying you're not gonna purchase the protein based on quality and past problems with QC is one thing, but personal attacks on someone you don't know is another thing all together.

 

[Driven2lift]

^ not my prime listed reasoning for not buying

And were these quality issues before or after his time on AM?

Genuinely curious

Even if my favourite companies were caught spiking or things like this I doubt I would remain a fan

I can't speak for everyone, but the owner issues do not bother me. Everyone has their issues, people just found out about his. I did not post on here when they were around here. I originally bought a tub because of the great reviews on another board. I ordered cinnamon bun and the powder was beyond chalky and tasted terrible. Then I found out about quality control issues. The poor taste and texture turned me off, the poor qc turned me off for good.

I never tried it, as I heard about the QC issues a while back. That's really the only reason, though.

 

[dkgreene88]

Tried a tub of this! Gave me mad gas

 

[paul56778]

do u think it was the egg-whites in the protein cos, drinking pasteurized liquid egg whites can do that.

 

[The Solution]

I have met the guy many times in real life.
he constantly stalked Jaime eason at the Arnold expo
he constantly came over and harassed myself and the owner at the Scivation booth demanding to talk to him (Mike) every 30-45 minutes
He has had multiple QC issues in the past (O-Rings, Rocks found in the powder)
He continues to not wanting to provide adequate 3rd party tests on his product.
He reduced the amount of Egg protein in his 40/40/20 blend but yet the cost of the product went up when he reduced the most expensive raw ingredient in it and serving sizes got smaller.
His personal record of going to jail twice is not going to help his reputation/brand with that kind of a background.
He had to change the name of his company multiple times due to the problems he had in the past.
Their customer service is mediocre at best. people had problems with the "baggy" samples they sell on their site, and even on a public forum he would refuse to give them refunds if there were problems.

That is why I do not support the company or his product. and again that is my own opinion.

 

[mw1]

His lemon meringue protein is awesome

 

[amarula]

Some months ago I've bought a tub of chocolate peanut butter from Trutein brand (before the name change). No problems with digestion, texture, mixing or quality whatsoever. But I wasn't impressed with the flavour. For me was to sweet and to strong on the peanut side. Prefer USP and XF

 

[GNO]

I was first drawn to the brand when I noticed they had a pumpkin pie flavour. I liked it and the Lemon Meringue tastes great too. But I'll never buy again after The Solution gave me the history on the QC issues. Plus egg white protein tends to bloat me pretty good.

What if "The Solution" told you to jump off a bridge?

 

[Driven2lift]

I'd pick a short one over water

I don't know what he told me is 100% true of course but he's trustworthy. Bottomline is if you read in the news that some food product got recalled it will make you think twice before buying it.

In the end a blend without egg is easier to digest for me.

 

[Jiigzz]

Neither bodynutriton or trunutrition have FDA warning letters pertaining directly to issues. Was this never reported?

In saying that, while O Rings and Rocks are nsty things to find in a product, I have opened a bag or dorritos before and had a glove inside; I have eaten opened salads and found snails, cockroaches and other small insects from large reputable NZ companies and even bit down on a hard piece of plastic in a Pie. Sometimes despite all efforts things can go wrong.

Sometimes companies can run bad batches and they may not be picked up despite good QC controls. I have never been to a body nutrition facility o know what QC they have in place though

 

[Admin]

And were these quality issues before or after his time on AM?

Well after.

 

[Driven2lift]

Well after.

This is why I said it.

He may not have been as well liked here if otherwise,

Someone said he was liked here in its Defence

 

[Admin]

This is why I said it.

He nay not have been as well liked here if otherwise

He wasn't here very long. True Protein was here much longer so maybe someone is getting it a bit mixed up

 

[Driven2lift]

Lol maybe
I get that happening a lot with similar company short forms

 

[digitalducki]

At this point, especially with new flavors on the horizon, I don't see the point in buying anything besides PES Select. Wtf else could u want from a protein?

Usp Labs Modern Protein is coming soon.

 

[Driven2lift]

Usp Labs Modern Protein is coming soon.

If it has the same vanilla flavouring I'm all over it

 

[money0351]

Steroid spiking? Lol

I've heard the original myofusion was spiked with superdrol not entirely sure how true that is...

 

[The Solution]

If it has the same vanilla flavouring I'm all over it

Casey and Jacob said "improved" flavoring

There may be another company with a vanilla in the future that may be worth the wait

 

[digitalducki]

I've written off USP labs after their last several products, marketing attempts and various health issues, however blown out of proportion they may be. Compound 20. Stink magic. Then they dive into caffeinated Aminos and texting my phone about getting a bench club t shirt. Lmao. Weak.

You know you can easily unsubscribe from texts and emails.

 

[digitalducki]

Yeah, I'm aware, but the hope is that they bring back the brand with a blowout product that gets results... I'd still want to know about it so I don't mind the texts, I mind the weak content.

Honestly I've enjoyed Trutein. I switched to it after I discovered definitively that yet another major blend had nothing but a sprinkling of anything other than whey in their 'blend'. I've had an off tub once where flavor was kind of wacko, but their peanut butter marshmallow cookie and smores tastes amazing, and shamrock shake is awesome. You can tell there's a decent amount of casein from the mix compared to other blends. That being said I'm now going to investigate further. A friend whose an IFBB pro is big time into True Nutrition. Anybody use?

"The Solution" is a known hater of Trutein's owner so everything he says about the product I don't take very serious.

Trutein isn't true nutrition.

 

[money0351]

I can only speak for my personal experience with the company and I have nothing negative to say.

I've personally met the owner at the Olympia and he straight hooked it up.

I've tried their protein and tasted just fine and never got rocks or O rings.

 

[The Solution]

That is My opinion
Yours may differ

There is plenty of resources out there on google that show you the problems Trutein has went through, Body Nutrition, Tao Nutrition or whatever you want to call them, not to mention greg's problems and his past. QC Issues etc..

If you want to to use it that is your decision, i know for one thing I won't touch it. but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I will stick to companies that are 3rd party tested and have better QC policies/customer service.

 

[Db2]

Trutein isn't true nutrition.

I know this. I was asking if anyone around here had tried True Nutrition!

(I can see how context could have made that unclear)

I've ordered them on quite a few occasions and have always been impressed with the quality. It has become a little more expensive over the past few years and there have been some newcomers to the protein world that are comparable so I don't order much from them anymore, but I think they are top notch.
