Is Six Star whey protein good quality?
« on: May 14, 2026, 07:32:13 AM »
According to AI overview :


Six Star 100% Whey Protein Plus (approx. $20–$25 for 1.8 lbs) is a budget-friendly, widely available, and well-reviewed protein powder often lauded for its good taste, easy mixing, and high protein content (30g per serving, typically 2 scoops). It is suitable for athletes seeking a post-workout recovery boost .


Palumbo however completely disagrees with AI ...

Truth is, sadly the supplement industry is almost entirely unregulated including Palumbo's brand ....

Some tastes better, are easier to blend blah blah but.... Does the quality of whey protein really matter?

I think those overpriced brand pushed by juiced to the gills muscleheads (sponsored Athletes, oh brother lol) are not different than the more affordable ones. (with Fred Flinstone on the cover or Tony the tiger)




Whoosshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  Oh the industry <

It's all a waste of your money.

The "protein scam" has been going on for as long as bodybuilding has been around.

AI is kind of a new source of information though.

Tried it, it was fine, like any of mid-priced ones.

I find Seven Star to be about roughly 17% better than this stuff.

I know we've had words but this is a serious reply and not a dig at you. Where does "real food" start and end? Whey powder comes from milk, it's the 30% of milk protein fraction. It's refined. But so are many other foods. Take cottage cheese for example. Still food? If you think about it many "real food" are refined, fractions of the original source. Skim milk is not the original and it's in liquid form but it's food. I always said whey is every bit real food. Different powder proteins have both advantages and disadvantages over the original source. Lots of competitive bodybuilders have gone back and forth in incorporating powder protein sources and usually they say it's hard to say which is better. I think Cutler said he was in one of his best shapes when 4 of his meals were shakes or something like that. He also drank regular coke after workouts when Aceto was his coach and Aceto is pretty "scientifically minded." Sometimes a little bit of refined foods can be fit into the overall picture nicely. I have these medical grade "nutritionally complete" MRPs right now with all the necessary micronutrients and fat etc and it says you can live on it for a few months if illness prevents solid foods :D

Obviously better than other star ratings. If I’m seeing the best rated at 5 stars and then this is 6 stars, you better believe I’m going to pay to get the best to be the best.
