I'm not familiar with the Carnivor powder, but I know that the primary source of protein in their Carnivor Shots is/was collagen, which is disgusting and very low quality protein. The shots' amino profile was due to the BCAA's they add to the product.Collagen is about the most common and abundant connective tissue in mammals. It's in everything from skin and hair to nails, etc. In cows, collagen is also found in hooves and ears. Since the label doesn't specify, you could be mixing desiccated tongue in your shake for all you know. Or, maybe the next canister you purchase will contain some nice nose cartilage!Technically, there is protein in collagen, but not the same quality you would find in the parts of the animal we usually serve for meals.
tongue is good... i picked up 2 beef tongues today for supper tomorrow...
Oh, I'm sure it's tasty. But, as far as its use in a protein supplement, I would expect other parts to yield a better value.Have you ever tried scrapple?
as in mushed pork scraps with cornmeal & flour? that's a big negative
Nice article about cow tongue. I never realized it was so healthy!
buy one (they are cheap)simmer in water with salt for 30 minutes (do not boil, just simmer)slit the underside of the tongue less than 1/4 inch deep length wise and peel off the skin (too tough to eat)slice the remaining meat into 1/2 inch slices or piecesyou can then add it to a stir fry or grill lightly and serve with sauce or gravytastes amazing
Awesome! I was going to ask you if it's tough or fibrous at all. That's my only gripe with a lot of venison - the membranes are often very tough to work with and eat.Thanks!!
I've used Syntha in the past and was quite pleased with its taste, ease of mixing, and digestion. The price was also quite reasonable compared with other brands. My only criticism is that it is on the high end in regards to calories and, especially, carbs. I did make some gains while using it, but those gains were not limited to muscle.Also, I noticed a while back that the price of Syntha-6 has climbed a bit to more closely match it's competitors. For a commercial blend at that price, I'd be more inclined to go with Pro-Complex based on label claims. It's a leaner formula.One of my buddies works PT for Vitamin World, who's parent company recently acquired Met-Rx. They are supposedly once again using the original Connelly Metamyosin formula in the RTD's, which would be a great thing since it was that blend that earned Met-Rx its place atop the supplement world for a time. According to my friend, the packets' taste and texture are just as they were when we used them years ago with good results.It may be worth trying them again after all these years!
how about species nutritions whey protein? ive heard they are very good?
I'm currently using a custom blend of calcium caseinate, micellar casein, beef, and whole egg solids. I usually mix it with whole milk and heavy cream.Occasionally I'll go old-school and mix three scoops with six raw eggs and heavy cream, which makes more of a pudding, but I can adjust the consistency by adding more or less cream.I don't advocate consuming raw eggs.
GNC's 100% whey banana flavor, its the only protein that doesnt give me the shits HAHA
good taste,,,i use dynamatize 12 hr extend ,,,,34.00 us 4 lbs good flavors,,,
My buddy had good experiences with Dymatize's Gourmet blend. I just ordered a tub of Elite Fusion 7 to try. It looks like a nice lean formula, maybe comparable to Pro-Complex.
,,,gourmet good,,,elite fusion too,they make good products,,,,
this kind of statement requires a 'no homo' label or an admission of homosexuality...i didn't write the rules of getbigi just enforce them
Relax.He gets his protein from the can.
Yeah, and their prices are among the better I've seen for similar products.I remember when BSN offered good prices, too. Then, they slowly crept up to match other, better quality proteins. That's when/why I stopped using Syntha-6. For only a few dollars more, I could get Optimum's best blend, which had fewer calories and carbs per serving.
syntha 6 on sale i buy it,,great taste by far but high fat content was suprised,,,
