Unanswered Whey Protein Question

[MistrJay]

Recently I bought some MusclePharm Combat Protein Powder and when I tried it on 2-3 occasions, my back around my kidneys started to hurt. I didn’t know if maybe that means I have a problem with whey protein or if I should try another brand.

I have same protein, Costco price was too good to pass on. But I get pretty bloated off of it, I need to stick to an isolate.

I’ll look into that. Thanks.

Mistake #1 --> Buying a Product that does not meet label claims and was accused of protein spiking
Mistake #2 --> You get what you pay for sometime. Cheap product does not always mean its a quality product
Mistake #3 to @mase1 if i bloats you why do you use it? That makes 0 sense. If you can't digest the nutrients or sources you consume your not doing your body any good

I rather see you both buy a better product, one that meets 3rd party claims, and can tolerate. If whey or dairy doesnt sit well invest in a casein, vegan, or egg product

Here are just some of the companies found guilty of protein spiking

• Body Fortress Lawsuit
• A GNC and 4 Dimension Nutrition joint class action
• CVS Lawsuit was filed regarding CVS Whey Protein Powder.
• Giant Sports (Delicious Protein)
• Inner Armour Class Action Lawsuit (Mass Peak and Nitro Peak)
• New Whey Lawsuit (Multi-Pro)
• Pro Supps PS Whey Lawsuit s
• Fit Foods (Mutant Whey)
• ALLMAX Lawsuit (Hexapro Protein Powder)
• : CytoSport Muscle Milk Family Lawsuit
• MusclePharm Arnold Schwarzenegger Iron Mass

We could also include Phase 8 From MuscleTech and the millions they had to pay back to their consumers as well as all the other MuscleTech, Six Star & Epiq

Iovate Amino Acid Spiking Class Action (Settled from 2015)

URGENT! MuscleTech and Iovate have settled a class action lawsuit worth $2.5 million, but you have until February 8th to claim up to $300 back! HURRY!

Protein Spiking List: 7 Companies that you must not buy from

If you have been using these powders on the protein spiking list, which most likely you have been, you’ve been not getting the protein grams that you though

if I were in your shoes look into the following

Isolate:
Xtend Pro (Chocolate and Vanilla are my favorites)
MAN Sports Iso (All the flavors are great I have tried)
Dymatize Iso-100 (Birthday Cake, Orange Cream, PB, Choc PB)
Allmax Isoflex (Choc PB)

Vegan:
Nutrex Vegan (Cinnamon Cookies & German Chocolate Cake)
PES Vegan (Choc is best)
AI No Whey (Pumpkin)

Thanks for the info. I didn’t do enough research because I didn’t know about that with MusclePharm.

I’ll pick up some Casein protein powder soon.

Why?
Use a regular isolate or whey blend (if you tolerate dairy) Casein has no advantage.
Don't fall into the marketing of "OH I need it before bed due to a slow release"

Do you know what has a slow release? A protein Blend that has both whey and casein, and has plenty of research to show it is superior as a choice.

The effects of protein and amino acid supplementation on performance and training adaptations during ten weeks of resistance training - PubMed

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of whey protein supplementation on body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and anaerobic capacity during 10 weeks of resistance training. Thirty-six resistance-trained males (31.0 +/- 8.0 years, 179.1 +/- 8.0 cm, 84.0 +/- 12.9...

Coingestion of whey protein and casein in a mixed meal: demonstration of a more sustained anabolic effect of casein - PubMed

When consumed separately, whey protein (WP) is more rapidly absorbed into circulation than casein (Cas), which prompted the concept of rapid and slow dietary protein. It is unclear whether these proteins have similar metabolic fates when coingested as in milk. We determined the rate of...

Protein blend ingestion following resistance exercise promotes human muscle protein synthesis - PubMed

High-quality proteins such as soy, whey, and casein are all capable of promoting muscle protein synthesis postexercise by activating the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTORC1) signaling pathway. We hypothesized that a protein blend of soy and dairy proteins would capitalize on the unique...

Soy-dairy protein blend and whey protein ingestion after resistance exercise increases amino acid transport and transporter expression in human skeletal muscle - PubMed

Increasing amino acid availability (via infusion or ingestion) at rest or postexercise enhances amino acid transport into human skeletal muscle. It is unknown whether alterations in amino acid availability, from ingesting different dietary proteins, can enhance amino acid transport rates and...

Oh okay. Then I’ll stick with an isolate and see how that treats me.

 

[mase1]

No milk issues but will try an isolate for a month and see if any difference. No cramping or stomach ache from musclepharm, just bloat. Notice when I stopped it.

 

[The Solution]

Oh okay. I was just going to go with casein, because my mom is lactose intolerant and my dad recently switched because he finally admitted that he might be as well.

Casein is mostly dairy. If they are lactose intolerance that is a very bad choice.

I’ll invest in the egg or vegan protein then.

Dymatize Iso-100 (Birthday Cake, Orange Cream, PB, Choc PB)

As the solution has stated, I would agree with picking up one of these and running it versus the muscle pharm.
