anyone use this? its pretty expensive compared to most of the rest, but its the only completely lactose-free whey protein powder i know of, and *seems* to be of higher quality that most other products. what do you guys think is it worth the extra cost? or is it all just placebo anyway?

It's an excellent protein, one of the best out there.

I've been using it for 4 years. Nothing mixes or tastes better. Awesome stuff; I would never change brands. 2 scoops dutch chocolate + 1 banana + blender = best breakfast ever for those on the go.

Zero carbs, also.

As for it being a placebo....thats up to you. I think there is enough evidence out there that proves whey protein is worthwhile to use. Also, Isopure is used in many hospitals for people with degenerative muscular diseases or conditions, due to the fact that it's lactose free and easily mixable + drinkable.

Always if the Protein content is high so is the price.Seems you are on a winner.

It's the best I have ever used. There is so much hype with whey protein but this is the best. It's pure isolate. It mixes better than any other and it doesn't cause the stomach problems other "pure" isolate whey protein can cause. I suspect that there is a loose interpretation by the protein companies of what isolate is as opposed to concentrate. There also blends of isolate and concentrate.

I sold it for years when I ran my store. Been two years since I used a protein powder of any kind. They are garbage. The human body was designed to respond to the amino acid profiles of animal meats, eggs, to a lesser extent milk and veggie protein etc. when you drink that crap it's bscly a derivative of whey and your body has no idea what to really do with it. Now, if you're on anabolics and/or insulin that's a much diff story. Your body is bscly supercharged and nitrogen is MUCH higher. You do not need your body's hormonal response as you are using artificial hormones anyway. My advise- for natural bber's stick with natural sources. Plain and simple.

i agree that real food is the best bet, but this stuff is just so convenient and still more cost-effective than buying a ton of meat. and i can only eat so many eggs.. i just get sick of them.

just eat all the normal high calorie foods but the key is to eat different fruits with these high calorie meals

the result will be alot more energy, 4-6 shits a day, bodyfat stays low because the fruits help you clear your bowls quicker while still attaining the energy from the foods

It has always been the best on the market, period.

That said, Species has a blend as well that's right up there, too, but is a little higher-priced right now, I think.

Yes, we all agree that food is best, but when you're doing 6-8 meals a day, it can be impractical to have whole foods for all of them. It's doable if you make that commitment, but it's just not practical for most people's lifestyles.

If you're using a WPI powder, though, you're going to pay more.

Carbs to build muscles. Protein is for eskimos and pregnant women.

I don't get it. You spend extra bucks for a Zero carb protein drink but then add a banana to it. Kind of counterproductive

I think the majority of any good diet should be FOOD, but some work, or lifestyle demands prevent that sometimes. Far better to eat some fresh fruit with a pro drink than go without.
