5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for bodybuilders, October 20, 2009

As a bodybuilder, I consume 50-100g of protein powder per day. I am lactose intolerant.

Having experimented with numerous brands and types of protein powders, I have found this product to be the best for me.

I wish it were a bit cheaper to be honest...but it is an isolate protein which is due to the extra refining it undergoes. From a taste perspective, it's okay. Palatable and you get used to it. It's not chalky but don't expect vanilla pudding taste here either. As the granules are very tiny (microlyzed) which is par for isolates...this stuff dissolves well even in water (which is what I consume it with).

It does not give me gas and doesn't appear to have any effect on my bowel movements which whey protein, unfortunately, does.

This product is fortified with essential micronutrients (except iron which is good!) including healthy amounts of potassium...essential electrolyte for post workout. Note: Most weightlifters get adequate iron from their diet or other supplements and seek to control it.

This powder also has BCAAs in it...

3465mg of isoleucine
7865mg of leucine
3080mg of valine
4.6g of L-Glutamine

These are very nice for post-workout recovery...and saves having to add BCAAs seperately (which can get very expensive). Note that the ratios of the BCAAs are proper as well.

Lastly, and most importantly, I have definitely been adding muscle since I've started using this over the last 3-4 months. So, ultimately, if you need a protein powder to augment your weightlifting routine...this is a good choice providing you need a lactose free product. Otherwise, if you can tolerate lactose, you might want to consider a whey protein as it is about half the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good taste, and mixes easily with a spoon, September 10, 2009

By

I am currently on a special diet that requires me to get most of my nutrition from protein shakes. It also requires that the shakes be high protein, but low in carbs and fat. Isopure is a great product to meet those requirements.

The two scoop serving size is huge, and really, the protein amount per scoop is comparable to other brands. The way they claim to have 50 grams of protein per serving is to double the serving size. Read the labels and make sure you're comparing the right amounts! I do like that the shakes contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, providing 25% daily value per scoop of most of the major ones.

Mixing up the shake is no problem. I use one scoop in 6-8 ounces of very cold water. I give it a good stir, let it settle and absorb some water, then finish stirring. There are no clumps, goop, or anything gross; just a smooth shake. My only complaint is that there are sometimes a few little chalky-textured granules (which are really no bigger than a grain of sand) that settle to the bottom.

The flavor is ok, once you know what to expect. I think I psyched myself out over it a little too much the first time, especially based on the smell I experienced when first opening the can. It smells rather strongly of powdered milk, which has an odd sweet smell. The dutch chocolate flavor tastes very good, and is comparable to sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast. I am not a big fan of the creamy vanilla flavor, because it still retains the weird powdered milk smell, and the actual vanilla flavor seems to be lacking. I can dress it up with a teaspoon of real cocoa powder and a couple drops of almond extract, and that makes it tolerable. You just have to stir it more to get the cocoa to blend in.

I do want to point out something that may be TMI, but useful for people who may be on a bariatric surgery-type diet. Having to drink this stuff for two meals a day has produced some interesting gastrointestinal results for me. Let's just say you won't be needing any Miralax while using this product. We'll just leave it at that. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent value, March 8, 2007

I think many products that use the 50g thing are just marketing gimmicks. Here they just added a scoop...only want 25g? use 1 scoop.

But anyway 0 carb, perfect taste (athough if artificial sweetners scare you, stay away), every imaginable vitamin in the book. can't beat it.

These are typically buy 1 get 1 half off or BOGO (buy one get one free) at GNC. 20% off with Gold member discount (both discounts stack). with these discounts, you can often get the price down somewhere to $1 per shake.
