Tell me about it...

I order a customized mix consisting of milk isolate, caseinate, and whey isolate.  I use nothing fancy here and actually use rather "old" type proteins (not the new micellar casein and cross-flow micro/ultra filtered whey b.s.).  Anyway the exact same mix that I'm using now only cost $34 for 6 pounds back in 2000.  Today the same friggin powder costs just over $60 for 6 pounds!

It's a good thing nobody needs protein shakes when you've got the Adonis Principles working for you!

Actually, I just came back from the Anaheim Expo (there are over 3,600 booths there), and yes, whey protein prices are going through the roof. Serious situation there.  In the past month and upcoming month, many prices are going up.  Champion, Natures Best, Optimum Nutrition, Dymatize, and others.

With China and other countries using more protein, exporting whey is getting profitable, and prices have gone up.

Protein powder is really composed of mostly sand. Unless things turn around in Iraq we might lose one of our biggest suppliers of sand.

world demand of protein in general is starting too exceed production, expect to see general protein (food fish, soj, eggs) prices rising soon!

We need factories to manufacture the sand. US it's 35 cents per lb China its 15 cents, we can argue that we are jacking up the prices since we have to screw with customers customs.

The prices of whey has been going up for the last year in a half, almost 20% per pound. Those companies you mentioned usually buy in quantites that last a while. Now that they are having to reordering, their prices are finally reflecting it.

Interestingly a protein shake works out cheaper than eating a chicken breast for the same amount of protein or at least it does at the prices I can buy them both at.
