Is my protein powder any good?
« on: July 05, 2008, 12:23:30 PM »
For about the last ten years or so I've been using a protein powder called Nutrisport 90+ Protein. Not sure if you can get it in the US but it's quite prevalent here in the UK.

So anyway, I was in a supplement store today and the guy who runs it was talking to me. Bear in mind this wasn't your run-of-the mill skinny shop-floor worker - this guy was about the same size as me - about 240lbs and had a decent build on him. You could tell he trained seriously and was probably on a bit of gear too.

So he was talking to me and asked me what protein powder I take - I replied "Nutrisport 90+ Protein".

He said - "That stuff's crap - you should be taking something like CNP's protein product or the new stuff that Dorian Yates has brought out".

I said "why?", and he said "just speak to Dorian and he'll tell you why". (Bear in mind I train at Temple Gym and could ask Dorian if I wanted to - which I just might)

So anyways, when I get home I do a bit of research on protein powder quality and discover that my Nutrisport 90+ protein is 65% undenatured whey protein isolate and 35% micellar casein. Yet when I look at all the other supposedly good products they seem to refuse to give a percentage of whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, and other stuff so I guess I will never know how good my stuff is against theirs. For every 100 grams of product I will get 90 grams of protein which in my opinion isn't too shabby.

Can anyone help - should I just continue using the same stuff I've been using for the last ten years or should I try CNP, Dorian's stuff, or anything else instead?

Looks good. A good blend is hard to come by. I'm in love with Aln's nitrean for that reason. Whey with any other protien blend is good stuff! As long as it tastes good you've got a winner!
