Oryx Goat Whey.... You can get it around 25-30 bucks for 2.2 lbs... It's the best working protein I've ever, ever had. I've tried all of them. I love the taste of ON's whey, Annabolic Innovations has a nice pure whey isolate for a great price, Prosource's Nitrowhey Extreme is awesome quality and taste, yada yada... but the Goat Whey gives amazing results. I can notice it, for sure!Right off the bat, I'm going to state the obvious: anything with WPC is not going to make it to the top 100%. Per dollar, yes you might be getting more protein per gram but if we're talking WPC, you're not intaking a very reliable source of protein seeing how WPC is a very inferior type of protein.
How much whey protein one should take in varies but the fact is that regardless, if you want to actually absorb the protein you have combine it with carbohydrates, first off (we all know this). I wouldn't be able to tell you, and neither would the companies that make these protein products, if you're actually absorbing much of what's contained in these products because there are no published studies or any other sorts of information to confirm that you actually are. On the other hand, if all you're worried about is the superficial (i.e. protein per dollar) not really being concerned if what you're taking in is even being absorbed then yes, at the time of purchase, you might be getting more "bang for buck" but in the end you're throwing away your money.
true, 100%... and I don't agree with their analysis either. But that's just coming from a consumer who's tried almost every protein out there for taste and results.I noticed they're not just comparing proteins, but also weight gainers, as well as three diff protein sources (egg, whey, casein). In my opinion, it's not a legitimate comparison.
If they had diff. categories, it'd be a lot better. For intance, top 10 whey, top 10 casein, weight gainer, egg white protein, etc. As it stands now, it's too scattered.
Great idea to pass on experiences w/ various products, just as long as he's going to properly categorize them. A lot of us will be able to tell the differences among these products, but a newer guy looking for some feedback might not realize and go ahead and buy something like Muscle Milk over ON or vice-versa, even though the two products are very different.true, 100%... and I don't agree with their analysis either.

I am surprised you did not like physique since you have tried them all. I am surprised that you did not see results from it. I will never go back to another post work out work out product again. Danny can back me up on this one. I agree with Dan with out a published study it most likely is bogus.I've tried all of them.

Bro... your question brings us to an endless loop of non-sense. You just have to look at the literature on the main protein being used for a given protein supplement. Whether it be whey isolate, whey concentrate, casein, milk protein isolate, egg, goat milk derrived whey peptides, etc... you will find information on bioavailability of each one.Do any of them have any published studies on them? How do you know you're absorbing even half of what you were taking? (if you thought you were indeed absorbing 100% of what you were consuming)
BOGGLES THE MIND!!!!!!!How do we know that tuna in a can is infact tuna?
You don't need to. One company I know of have published studies on there protein supplements such as physique and that it is guaranteed to work and does what it is supposed to do. The study has been done at the universities on it and it is published on pub med.I'm not going to take every product I buy to the nearest lab and pay them to analyze it.
Bro... I can't find 'Physique' anywhere. A company may have published studies on the effects of whey protein isolate or whatnot, but about 100 or more companies have a whey isolate product. Nitrotech has 'studies' on the back of every container showing that it's 100000x better than normal whey.You don't need to.

I-Pro, Substance WPI... all great. Whey protein isolate are all pretty much the same. Some have bovine growth factors (GF PRO), and some are differently filtered... yada yada yada, but either way, it's WHEY. GOAT protein is in a whole different league. Isopure vs. Substance WPI... go for the value, WPI is WPI. Goat versus any whey product, forget about it. It's the most bioavailable and quickest absorption protein compared to ANY other protein out there on the market.I never heard Pysique, either. I'll stick w/ my I-Pro and Substance WPI. Everyone knows Ergopharm and Primaforce are solid brands w/ top notch products.

I think you may be confused about a few things... You don't need carbohydrates to absorb protein. Let's get that out of the way. Simple carbohydrates cause a surge in insulin levels which causes the body to drain the bloodstream of glucose and most amino acids are transported into skeletal muscle, leaving behind few amino acids including L-Tryptophan, which allows tryptophan to be uptaken into the brain and converted into seratonin, which is why you feel satiety after eating sweets. After a workout it is good to eat a fast absorbing protein with simple carbohydrates, because carbs replenish our depleted glycogen stores.Right off the bat, I'm going to state the obvious: anything with WPC is not going to make it to the top 100%.

My point is... watch out for a crap-load of fillers and artificial sweeteners and all that other gunk. Try to get a pure blend of protein that uses just pure proteins and stevia or sucralose with few artificial flavors and colors. Go with a brand that you trust and/or know and if you want to go the extra, I believe in products from cows that haven't been giving anti-biotics and hormones or go with the Oryx Goat Whey. I can't say enough good things about that stuff.Whey Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Concentrate
So What's The Big Difference Between Whey Protein Isolate and Concentrate?
Most of the whey protein powders you find will contain mostly whey protein concentrate with some whey protein isolate mixed in. You'll also find a lot of pure whey protein concentrate, and some whey protein isolate. Comparing the two, whey protein isolate is more expensive than concentrate - because it's of higher quality(more pure), and have a higher biological value (BV). Whey protein isolate contains more protein with less fat and lactose per serving. Usually, isolate contains 90-98% protein while whey concentrate contains 70-85%.
Whey protein isolate is the highest yield of protein currently available, and it comes from milk. Because of its chemical properties, whey protein is the easiest to absorb into your muscles. Obviously, with its high concentration, whey protein isolate 'would' be the best to use, but like all great things, there's always a downside. It's more expensive, and just because it's more pure, doesn't mean it'll give you more muscle and size. Its extra concentration may not justify the extra costs for you.
Whey Protein Isolate Interesting Findings
On a positive note, studies have shown whey protein isolate to have immune boosting properties. Check this out, I bet you didn't know this:
"The results of the study demonstrate that hydrolyzed whey protein isolate can significantly increase glutathione levels within the prostate epithelium. This represents a potential mechanism by which whey protein isolate can provide protection against the development of prostate cancer." - Dept. of Food Science & Technology, Ohio State Univ.
To Use Whey Protein Concentrate or Whey Isolate?
So when all's said and done, should you use whey protein isolate, or concentrate? On the plus side, whey protein isolate is more pure, but it also costs more. Most protein powders you find will have mostly whey protein concentrate with some isolate blended in.
In my opinion, I don't think its worth the extra bucks to use pure whey protein isolate. Using whey protein concentrate with isolate blended delivers just as good results with less costs. You'll also hear from other bodybuilders that they don't notice whey protein isolate giving them any noticeable amount of gains over whey concentrate, so I say go for the less pricey blend of the two.

I think I'm gunna go after that Oryx Goat Whey, sounds good.I-Pro, Substance WPI... all great. Whey protein isolate are all pretty much the same.

Tell me how you like it. If you buy it at GNC or Vitamin Shop and don't like it, I've taken stuff back there a dozen times... but I'm sure you will. It's performance and taste.I think I'm gunna go after that Oryx Goat Whey, sounds good.
Worrrrrrrrrrd... I won't be ordering it suprisingly for like 7 more weeks though, hah. But is there any reason why I WOULD want to return it?

No reason to return the protein at all. It's just good to know that you can if you wanted to.Worrrrrrrrrrd... I won't be ordering it suprisingly for like 7 more weeks though, hah.

I've read how goat milk is incredibly nutritious, but has an unfortunate taste. I am assuming, however, that their chocolate whey tastes similiar to the rest.. have yet to really taste a chocolate protein shake that I couldn't down - I guess you can't really mess chocolate up.
Then again, I can tolerate some really bad tastes, and still enjoy the food/drink...
That's just it: a company can have studies on what whey protein does but none that I know of have one done on what THEIR product specifically does. We all know multivitamins are good but are all multivitamins created equal? Yes, I know vitamin C is good but why are there 500 different vitamin C products out there and how can I tell apart one company from another?

Or you could listen to what BB'er Joe has to say but does he know what his blood work looks like? Yeah I'm sure the whey he takes is great and all but is he absorbing any of what he's taking in? I know when I'm not absorbing my piece of chicken or my tuna, etc. because I do something. You do it too. We all do it: it's called defecating. When I take protein shakes, I can tell if the protein I'm using is cheap quality or not because I what?
I go to the bathroom. Am I making you hungry? :lol:
"It says it on the label so that should mean that I'm actually getting it right?"
Pop and pray? Not.
There's nothing out there that can prove if a product does what it's supposed to better than A) blood work and/or B) double blind placebo controlled studies. That's what I put my trust in when it comes to knowing whether something works or not. I used to rely on my own experience but I figured why should I waste my time (and money) "testing" a product out. That's what labs are for - to test and Physique has had that done to it. I don't know about you but I'm not a lab rat and I'm not here to be experimented on.
Physique Workout Maximizer Supplement
Physique: Maximizing muscle recovery for serious athletes
Physique was tested with nine highly trained cyclists. During each of three test periods, athletes rode for two hours with an alternating workload that reflected race-like conditions. Immediately and two hours after every ride, athletes drank one of three drinks: Physique, with its unique carbohydrate-protein combination formula (40.5 g protein, 112.5 g carbohydrate); a protein drink reminiscent of the "muscle" drinks popular with body builders (40.5 g protein); and a carbohydrate drink similar to the "carboload" products on the market (112.5 g carbohydrate). These were consumed as 16-oz. beverages.
Results of the study confirmed that the carbohydrate-protein combination of Physique elicited a greater insulin response in the blood than the carbohydrate or protein supplements alone. The greater insulin levels produced by Physique's carbohydrate-protein formula also led to a greater increase in the rate of muscle energy stored (glycogen) in the four-hour period following exercise than either the carbohydrate or protein supplements alone.*
*. Zawadzki KM, Yaspelkis III B, Ivy JL. Carbohydrate-protein complex increases the rate of muscle glycogen storage after exercise. J Appl Physiol 1992;72:1854-9.
How is that so?
By the way, I forgot to respond to this part of your post. Maybe I explained myself wrong with the absorption issue. Let me reiterate:I think you may be confused about a few things... You don't need carbohydrates to absorb protein. Let's get that out of the way.
First mistake: saying 'marketing' and 'Shaklee' in the same sentence. They have no advertising budget because they invest all their funds into R&D - 250 million up until now to be exact. Ask any other company how much they spend in R&D and you'll most likely receive a half-way "beat around the bush" answer like "I'm not allowed to disclose that information". It's not sold in any stores because that's part of Shaklee's policy and Shaklee is not sold on internet nutrition sites or what not because they equip their Distributors (who they've paid out over $3 billion to btw) with Personal Websites.Shaklee is a multi-level marketing company. It's not sold in any stores or common nutrition websites, which is why not many of us have heard of it.
Where in LA? That's where I roll.I love physique. After switching from isopure and MM I will never switch back again. I trust danny as danny used to work for a supplement store. wouldn't you agree that working for a store for over 6 months to a year would give you knowledge and see what is popular and what is not? Iv seen it with my own eyes in a store in LA.
