Dante is totally correct on this.All the big suppllement companies do very little research, all there energy aswell as money is on packing, marketing, and advertising.They make products that are really cheap to make, for instance a bottle of Cell Tech costs at most $4-$5 to make .They put in this flashy eye catching packing, then market the living sh$%$ out of it.Another product by MuscleTech, Halo, claims to have over 75 ingredidents in each bottle.If you have ever done any type of blending you would know if you blended 75 ingredients together 1) if would look like god only knows 2) if would taste like ass.So either there putting in tiny tiny amount of each thing in each product, not using all that material, or masking the flavor with sucrose aka sugar.It is very hard to make "real raw materials taste good".If you ever tasted Pyruvate its horrible,AKG is worse,Caffiene is the worst,Alpha Lapoic Acid, burns,Arginine is to bad,L-Noravline is bland,Potasium Citrate is super sour, Amino Acids like L-Glutamine, are pretty much just bland.
Dante is correct in everything he stated.In this industry either you make a really good product, or you make hype produicts and market the hell out of them.I know if Dante wanted to he too could cut corners like alot of the bigger companies, make crap products, and market the hell out of them.Dante is a real athlete, like myself, he practices what he preaches, and he is a man who is honest, who has integrity like myself.I dont know how some of the people who own some of the companies even sleep at night.They create false names for raw materials, like Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate, or Creatine Taurinate.To make matrters worse, they make outrageous claims like gain 30 lbs in 6 weeks, or works 500 % better then any other form of creatine.Some of these statements are just straight out lies.You cant even put on 30lbs most of the time using steroids, so there is no way a natural supplement would create this type of muscle gain.
With supplements, if it sounds to good to be true it probalby is.If your looking for good products dont always go for the bigger companies, because most of the time, they are the ones that have to make the most profit to cover all there marketing expenses.Most of these companies have to make 300- 500 % prfit to cover all there advertising costs.I am going to be totally honest here, most of the time my company only makes 30-50% profit on each item.I am sure Dante will tell you the same thing.If you use really good raw materials, you profit margine are really low.But you can only charge so much for each product otherwise you will price yourself right out of your market.People will only pay so much for protein.Plus you got companies like Body Fotress, who sell there crap really cheap to WalMart, so now people think Whey Protein is cheap.Little do they know that the protein they are buying will never make label claim, never !!!!!!!!.I might even run over to Walmart and purchase one of those bottles of Body Fortress protein and have it lab assayed at Miller Labs and independent lab in Utah, just for fun.Then post the lab analsyis on Getbig, lol.Do you think I guys should?
?? lol.Trust me you wouldnt want to know the results, lol.
If you want to buy a good protein there are alot of good manufactures out there.There is trueprotein.com which is one of the best, plus they do custom blednding which is a dream come true.Then you have AST, Bio-Plex, Beverly International,Isopure,and Labrada, just to name a few.If you also looking for a good waxey Maze starch there are only 2 good companies I know of.You have trueprotein.com, and Veolcity by Professional supplements.The rest are pretty much crap.Alot of these companies are using cornstarch, or god knows what.Real Waxey Maze Starch. works amazing but its not cheap.
