Pick one company

[littleguns]

If someone says to you.."I want one supplement company that has it all" what would you tell them?

My pick is Gaspari....yours?

[Montague]

I can’t narrow it down to one company because there isn’t one that makes everything I use.

I also don’t think it’s wise to always believe that one or two products is indicative of a company’s quality as a whole.
They may make an awesome protein (or whatever), but everything else may be crap - and vice versa.

[tonymctones]

I only take protein and creatine so it wouldnt be to hard for me to just choose one and if I had to it would be Labrada they are decently cheap and have good products.

[barrettaswine]

I like Nutraceutical corp. They manufacture solaray, natures life, kal, thompson, ultimate nutrition etc......

[Montague]

I’d like to hear somebody who knows chime in on this because it’s been mentioned several times before…
Is it true that there are only 3 or 4 facilities in the U.S. that manufacture protein powders (and other supplements) and that other companies purchase these products and slap their own label on them?

IIRC, they featured one such facility in Bigger, Stronger, Faster and mentioned that this place was responsible for producing something like ¼ of the nation’s supplements.

BSN BOB!

[Montague]

Ha-ha...
Is their stuff really that bad, or do GB'ers dump on BSN simply because of Chick?
I've only tried their protein, but I liked it insofar as my own criteria for powders.

As for Bob, he's only been respectful towards me on the boards, so I have no gripe with him.
I think people just like to give him a hard time, but it is often very funny.

ON, or true protein......either have everything you could need...

I've probably used ON/ABB more than any other company since 2004.
Unfortunately, they don't make liver tablets or any kind of beef-based protein or amino product.
If they did, I'd use it, because I do like everything (that I've tried of) Costello's line.

Deos Bob Chick a part owner of BSN?...sorry..I haven't kept up with GetBig as much as I used to

lets put it this way
if bob wont even use the bsn stuff himself, then i doubt its good
plus u can see in ronnie colemans videos he uses other proteins even though hes sponsored by bsn

Really?  They over market and hype their products like muscletech used to do when they first came out. The claims in their adds are pure BS

Yes..there is a huge company called Leprino Cheese that sells the Whey from their cheese products to a few select supp companies who "air dry" it process it or whatever term you want then in turn sell it to end companies like ON etc etc..

the human body adapts to weight lifting, and to calorie levels. you want to grow your muscles huge, then lift weights regularly and make sure your gradually increasing the poundages/reps. if you want to get shredded, reduce your calories.

even the best supplements will have a negligible effect on body composition. if you want to train naturally, just train naturally. if you want to get an extra boost from some kind of "special substance", then dont worry about whats legal and just get on some testosterone.
