(More customer reviews)
I've been using Amplified Wheybolic for a while now, and although I buy it elsewhere in large containers, the price here on amazon isn't terrible.
As far as protein powders go it's great, look it up online for a complete nutrition profile if you'd like, but everything is there. It's made from whey, so it's very high quality, and you don't have to worry about it giving you gastrointestinal issues. I've tried the Vanilla, Cookies and Creme and the Chocolate, and I recommend the chocolate hands down. The other flavours were decent, but mixed in a tall glass of cold milk the Chocolate is great. I've had no cramps or issues, and I've seen moderate gains in both strength in size since I've started supplementing with this.
As far as the directions, I actually talked to the guy in GNC and he didn't recommend three scoops. He said that two would be plenty, and from my experience and the experience of others two has been great.
Overall, great product. Tastes good, no problems, solid nutrition.

OK, I did something really stupid. I actually bought these. The make up of the tabs is complete and fine, they are just HUUUGE! I take alot of different supplements and have no problem chugging down pills. THESE HURT! That's how big they are. For a brief moment I thought to myself as it lodged itself in my throat "OMG, I'm an idiot and am going to choke to death". I reared back and swallowed hard and it went down a little bit. I ate an sandwich and can still feel this thing at the base of my throat.

Solgar - Whey To Go - Mixed Berry, 16 oz powder Review

Solgar - Whey To Go - Mixed Berry, 16 oz powder

(More customer reviews)
I used to drink muscle milk after working out and myoplex shakes. I am a vegetarian so other than eggs and peanuts I dont get much protein otherwise.
After reading a consumer report article on both Muscle Milk and EAS Myoplex containing way more Heavy Metals than allowable by the FDA (Arsenic, Cadmium, and Lead) I returned my remaining Muscle Milks and Myoplex to Costco for a full refund. (Costco has since discontinued selling Muscle Milk).
According to Consumer Reports Solgar Whey to go has the least amount of heavy metals (virtually undetectable amounts) which appeals to me. (not a huge fan of lead in my drinks)
I got the 32 vanilla bean from amazon and it tastes way better than the Myoplex chalk anyway so im stoked. Win, Win.

EAS AdvantEdge 100% Whey Protein Review

EAS AdvantEdge 100% Whey Protein
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It would be easy to say that this Protein shake doesn't taste good, but compared to what? So far in my 10 years of trying proteins and shakes, I can tell you that the best tasting 2 have been Muscle Milk and EAS Whey Protein. But Muscle Milk isn't a Protein Shake - its a Meal Replacement Shake and it contains a lot sugars which adds a lot of taste. In protein powders I have tried Cytosport's Evopro, that GNC protein stuff, Optimum Nutrition's Protein, and Isopro's Protein. So far - EAS Whey Protein is the best tasting chocolate shake even when it has only 1 gram of sugar and 3 grams of carbs per serving. EAS When Protein is also the easiest to mix and to clean off your cup. In fact you can just leave your cup sit in water for 10 minutes and all the left over will dissolve to the bottom of your cup.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Any Whey Instantized Whey Protein Review

Optimum Nutrition 100% Any Whey Instantized Whey Protein
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the protein for me, I'm sold. It's better than its own advertisements. Yes it really is absolutely tasteless (it does have a very pleasant but mild aroma - kinda reminds me of strawberries, but I only notice it when I first open up the jar), so you can add it to anything with a stronger taste than water and not know the difference. Yes it really is "instantized" unless you start trying to mix it at a thicker than recomended rate. I've taken it staight with nothin but water or milk, in hot and cold chocolate, in cereal, in oatmeal, in my O.J., I've toyed with putting it into my scrambled egss but what would be the point? Anyways, I've thrown together my own little protein drinks a half a dozen different ways already and I haven't scratched the surface. But wait there's more! Optimum makes no claims about this whey's other fantastic properties and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
I emailed them and they responded the same day to say that the stuff is virtually ("90%-98%") lactose free, which is a big relief since I have allot of lactose intollerance in the family.
The stuff is made in the USA. 17 grams of protein per serving, there's 60 servings in a jar. That's 1020 grams of the absolute best protein on earth. Amazon's price: $21 per jar. That's what? two cents per gram of protein/ 35 cents per serving?!? Somebody check my math, I'm not sure if that could possibly be right. Compare that to other protein blends- I need to do more checking but I'd bet that's a comparable $/gram of protein to even the cheapest of the multitudes of new and improved snake oil enriched super fantabulated suplemental mega bloat mixes. Then compare that to your average starbucks bill. Shoot, compare that to what you have to put into vending machines to get what rolls out.
If you aren't sold/bored yet then consider this: Whey proein as compared to all other protein types (egg, standard milk, soy, etc) is the best across the board and should (and usually does) have a cost to match. It is the easiest on your stomach, fastest into your system, and best for muscle tissue gains/ weight maintenance (it's what doctors have used to get HIV and wasted chemo/radiation patients to hold the line and even re-grow). It has immune system enhanceing properties that make it almost medicinal. It has anti cancer properties beyond its immune enchanceing ones, but especially for those who are about to undergo radiation/chemothereapy (I can't explain the mechanisms but it selectively puts the cancer cells frontmost when the treatments are taking place so that they are the first to die and easiest to kill) Carefully and expensively processed Whey proteins (whey protein isolates) should cost even more than the standard concentrates. But Any whey doesn't cost hardly nothin', what gives?
Now... search for a protein supplement, of any kind, that doesn't come with that wonderful and ever palatable "NEW CHOCOLATE BANANA PEPPER FLAVOR!" Or have any fat. Or any carbohydrates (well actually it does have 1 gram per serving). No sugars, no sugar alcohols, no indigestible sugar substitutes, no taste (no, wait, that's a good thing!), and one that can be measured into any recipe of any kind for an endless variety of ways to be used. 60 servings-17 grams per serving-21 dollars.
The stuff's good enough to inspire me to peck away for an hour now to sing it's unsung praises. Now I think I'll go have a high protein bowl o' whey-augmented dreario's so my poor finger muscles have something to regrow with.

Cytosport Musle Milk, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, 2.47-Pounds Review

Cytosport Musle Milk, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, 2.47-Pounds
Average Reviews:

I drink Muscle Milk every morning for my breakfast. This is my least favorite flavor but I tolerated it to finish it off. I enjoy the Mocha Latte and the Chocolate Malt. I got them on the Subscribe & Save for a great deal. They are delivered automatically with free shipping every 3 months. So I don't get the full 300 calories in one shot, I only put one scoop in (instead of 2) stir well with spoon, add some ice and then drink it through a straw. It tastes best ice cold. Then when I get hungry a couple hours later, I make another one using one scoop. Then I have a light lunch around 11:30.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, 5 Pounds Review

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, 5 Pounds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like this product. Let me first start by saying that I do not think this is "the BEST" protein product ever. However, I've tried many protein products and this comes rather close.
In my honest opinion, "the BEST" protein product out there would have to be "Profect" by Protica Research. It's actually the stuff used by gastric bypass patients. It's 25 grams of high-absorb protein in only 2.7 fluid oz that literally tastes like fruit candy. But, it's way too expensive and a two-months supply can set you back a couple of hundred bucks easily. Because of this, it's better suited strictly toward its medical purposes.
This product is also not the "most cost-effective". There are plenty of other whey products out there that are much much cheaper and have just as much protein content, but they all pretty much taste like doo doo. What's the point in torturing yourself to save a few bucks? Cost is definitely an important factor, but not the most important.
Apart from all of the hype and apart from all of the hate, I would say that I really do like this product. It tasted a bit gross with just plain water, but when I added it to a cup of enriched soymilk, I couldn't tell the difference between it and a regular kid's chocolate milk shake. That is amazing. And this product did mix pretty well. I usually have problems with that when it comes to powdered shakes and it's always great when you can get a shake that doesn't just sit on the bottom of the cup and cement while everything else just floats to the top. I even added a serving of Benefiber fiber supplement, and it still didn't clump up.
One problem that I have with this product is that it does use artificial sweeteners, but I'll let that slide for now, since I don't intake too many products with them anyway. Still, it is a cause for concern for those you who want to avoid such things in your diet entirely.
Overall, 4 of of 5 stars. I'm pleased but not impressed. This product is definitely one of the superior brands out there but most definitely not a "gold standard". A lot could be done to improve it.

I love this product! I found it on Amazon.com because the stores are no longer stocking it. My husband has been using this product for years and loves it. It gives him the right amount of energy and cuts the cravings so he doesn't binge out on junk food. I have a very low tolerance for any product that is high in caffeine because it gives me the jitters and that feeling of being under the influence; not to mention the slam effect when you come down off the "high". When I feel like I need a little pick me up or I want to avoid grabbing too many sweets, I can take just one of the tablets and feel in control the entire day. I never have the jitters or the anxious moments and it works wonders with appetite control. I hope MHP keeps it around forever.

I've used this product for years and can drink it without getting tired of the taste. It's wicked thin when mixed with water. Literally has a chocolate milk consistency, which makes it easier to gulp down after a workout... Plus this has been around for a long time and has gained the respect of many athletes an bodybuilders

Protein is a Hugh factor after having Gastric Bypass Surgery. This has all the nutrition needed and has the BEST taste. My friends and I have tried them all, and this is the winner. They also have lots of great flavors. I give this a well needed Five Star rating, because good Protein is a big priority in my life and taste is important.

Twinlab 100% Whey Protein Fuel Review

Twinlab 100% Whey Protein Fuel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This and MetRX's protein powders are my favorites, though when Amazon has this brand in stock it's less expensive per serving than MetRX. The MetRX foams up a bit more and seems a little thicker (not negatives, in my opinion); the TwinLab comes out very smooth when made in a blender. Both brands taste very good, at least when made with fat free or 1% milk (or at the very least half milk and half water).
I won't detail the nutritional info because it's available in the product description here, but like MetRX I like that this protein powder gets almost all of its calories from protein. Some protein powders have a fair amount of fat and some have A LOT of carbohydrates. Those formulas may be good for competition level bodybuilders who need to have an extremely high caloric intake because they are working out so hard, but I don't really want a protein shake that gives me a meal's worth of carbs and fat in addition to the protein. I'd rather get my carbs and fat from real food.

Next Proteins Designer Whey Weight Control Chocolate Review

Next Proteins Designer Whey Weight Control Chocolate
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I almost don't believe this myself, but I have really experienced having my after dinner appetite suppressed.
If you go to Designer's website you'll find the technical and scientific information on how this Designer Whey Weight Control Protein Blend works which seems logical.
I eat a smaller size dinner and then drink one and sometimes only one half scoop an hour or two after dinner and an hour or two before going to bed. I don't feel hungry afterwards and even when I get up in the morning.
Just adding even a half scoop with breakfast and lunch really helps satisfy my appetite during the day.
Time will tell about how much lean body mass (muscle) I will add. It is suggested to have some after you complete excising to help build your lean body mass.
Additionally, it tastes good (perhaps not great) too!

Personally I found this product in poor taste (literally). It is way too expensive for the amount of protein that you get. I have used several different types of protein and some have a bad taste. This is one of them. You can really taste the protein. I have tried the Biggest Loser Protein in the canister (chocolate flavor) and it was not bad. Personally my favorite protein mix is Jay Robb. The taste is great, there is no after taste and you get 25 grams of protein.

Gained 5lbs I that had been chasing for months in my first week of use, while taking well under the recommended servings. 1-3 scoops in water daily, eating normally and working out 4-6 days a week. It's going on three weeks and combined with rigorous workouts and rest I'm not slimming down like I normally do, I'm tightening and widening. Noticable to others. Found it much cheaper locally though.
