So what's the consensus on Myprotein? I just ordered a giant bag. I've been though almost 22lbs of it and I'll be ordering another bag soon along with some protein cookies. Or you can spend twice as much to solve a problem we just made up on page 2 of this thread and doesn't actually exist.
Google answers all: The protein fractions are: 44% Beta lactoglobulin, 17% Alpha lactalbumin, 1.5% Bovine serum albumin, 8% Immunoglobulin G, 0.5% Lactoferrin, 26% Glycomacropeptide. The amino acid profile can be found at the bottom of the page under 'Certificates'. About Manufacturer
My protein has been around for more than 10 years. The company provides premium quality sports supplements with achievable goals. The people working at My Protein take pride in using high quality ingredients in all its products which individually get tested in micro-biological labs. The consistently high quality of My Protein products has made it one of the leading companies of Europe as far as sports nutrition brands are concerned. What make My Protein stand out in the market are its high quality yet cheap prices. It is cost effective because the company buys the ingredients in bulk and manufactures the products and then sells them directly online by taking the middle man out of the scene which makes the product cheaper than others. Made in "Europe." Oh, well as long as there's beta lactoglobulin in it.... But it's from Europe, they could poison you or something. I've gone through about 8lbs and various flavors. I endorse Cinnamon Roll in coffee, strawberry jelly jam roll is great in water, probably would taste like a strawberry shake in milk. |

I used to use Optimum, then I found this site. Read the Reddit links, it scores higher than Optimum at less than half the cost. Basically, when you wait for the sales to come around, you buy 5lbs and get 6lbs FREE compared to Optimum prices and it scored higher in purity on top of that. And their peanut butter is tits too. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_113/1694812_11lbs_of_protein_concentrate__60_shipped_edit___Ends_I_have_no_idea_.html This. Never switching unless they jack up their prices http://us.myprotein.com/home.dept So where is this stuff made ?It says free delivery to "mainland USA"... made in china? Just to update: I checked the bag: Made in USA from domestically and internationally sourced ingredients. |

That My Protein site has the most jacked up ordering system/website I think I've ever encountered. It's like they're going out of their way to piss me off and make me go elsewhere.
Am I the only one running into that mess? |

They just don't want me to buy from them for some reason, lol. It's no Amazon, I'll tell you that. |

I never got an answer so I'm going to assume that they didn't like the fact that my credit card expires this month. Customer service was zero help and basically just told me to figure it out and fix it.
I've never had a transaction declined before the end of the expiring month but I used a different card and haven't gotten a problem email yet so I guess that was it. |

I like Dymatize 100% whey protein. Careful buying the cheap no name crap as a lot of these companies have been "spiking" their protein products which means dumping a bunch of cheap amino's into the protein to get their protein content up and keeping their cost down. Optimum is ok but tastes like crap imo. Avoid musclepharm for sure, they're one of the worst "spiking" offenders. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I was screwing around on their website and everything worked fine for me. I was impressed that the discount code worked and did what it said it should do. Going to make an order in the next week or two. ------------ Discount Codes: COOKIE55: Free protein cookies if you spend $55 MYSTERYUS: 25% off the top 25 best sellers VARIETY: BUY 2 (2.2 lbs Impact Protein) get one free (this is a 33.3% discount on 3) ------------- The best deal currently is to get 11 lbs and use MYSTERYUS code on it. |

The Arnold Iron Mass is the product that they are accused of spiking; I'm not sure what to think about Combat Powder, because it lists 25g of protein and then in its "protein matrix" or whatever it lists protein plus aminos and says 33g.
