If I was to mix a protein blend, this is what I would sell

its mostly brown rice i believe, but im sure there is more to it than that for atleast the nutrients if not the protein as well.
supposed to be better than hemp and the taste is good, and compared to other protein powders, its got a flour like consistency

my embeded videos dont work... but this guy is called the health ranger and he reviews products unbiased on his own and gave this product some awards for w/e magazine online something or other he does.
anyways, tracking his results said parts of his strength went up as much as 20% and it gave him more energy and a better wellness feeling

You could notice a huge difference

I totally disagree. You should go with the cheapest protein per/lb you can stomach. VERY few people have issues dealing with a standard high quality whey concentrate. There is a big range when buying concentrate, looking at the label can help you figure out which ones are good vs bad.

That being said you won't see a lick of difference in overall body results ASSUMING you're taking in adquate protein to start with. People overthink 90% of this stuff. Thinking the more exotic you get, the better your results will be. For 98% of lifters, they'll never notice a difference. Other than stress from trying to figure out if adding 5% of ultra magnatized fermented organic grain fed chicken isolate protein is better than 5% of soy and a lighter wallet.

I agree 100% with the body composition argument you are making. My point is that I can personally tell a difference in consuming either pure isolate or a protein with a very high isolate to concentrate percentage over consuming either a pure concentrate or very high concentrate percentage whey protein, gastrointestinally.

Or, to put it another way. I bought some GNC whey protein, that was mostly concentrate. After two weeks my boss finally asked me "What crawled up your ass and died?" I returned the remaining 5 lb jug the next day.

I'd do something simple.

25% Egg White
25% WPI
25% WPC
25% Micellar Casein

[Mike McCandless]

Yes, I don't argue that. With that, I'd just go with a good isolate. We use to make one under primaforce, but it didn't sell that well. I still have a few containers here, I loved it.

With Giant I-Pro gone, do you see a market opportunity now?

[Mike McCandless]

Nope. Protein is low margin, takes up a bunch of space and kills cash flow.

[GimpyPaw]

Well, upon final review, my "fantasy" protein blend ended up being...

15% egg white
20% casein
30% hydrolyzed whey
30% whey isolate
5% dextrose

BSL cholcolate
Splenda
Aminogen / vitamin and mineral

Hypothetically the taste is GREAT, btw.

In all honesty I did not find the BSL Chocolate all that great tasting. I however tried it without the Splenda. Maybe that helps?

[eldawg]

Imo TP isn't doing the BSL flavouring justice. XF products (which I believe use the same BSL flavouring) are proof of that.

[GimpyPaw]

I don't know, I have the splenda and dextrose added, so frankly it tastes almost like a chocolate malt (wife said the same thing). It is not too sweet, but I'm sure if I had added the fructose it would be over the line.

I don't mind the flavor of TP, all I've tried is the premium chocolate...mostly sweet without a true chocolate flavor to it, but nothing I dread taking thats for sure.

I use Sun Warrior Protein Powder. I just add it to my smoothies. I have found it to improve everything-from muscles to health. I get it cheap dimondhealth dot com. If you dont want the plain one, which i like because its versatile, they have vanilla and chocolate. mixes easily on its own in blender cup with no clumps.

I agree. But i for example can't stand concentrates. My training partner, thoughm just bought 50lbs recession concentrate of TP.com. It's like, cheapest possible, less than 4$/lb, and that's without discount...he says it's great.

TP is a great company for people who want the option of customizing or ordering bulk orders... anyone who needs assitance/is curious about them can PM me any questions.

[ZDub212]

I'd either do 50% Egg White, 50% MPI OR

40% MC
30% Egg White
30% WPH

[ScottMcDWVU]

If you replace WPH with WPI you'd have pretty close to the most popular formula there.

yeah, that's a TeamSkip formula, and they say it tastes very good

[J_Con]

20% Hydorlized Whey
20% Whey Iso
20% Hydrolized Casien
20% Casien
20% Egg albumen

[ScottMcDWVU]

I make my mix very complicated

50% Cold Filtration Isolate
50% Micellar Casein
-premium French vanilla

[MajorCajones]

---------------------

Mainly for a post-workout, and I usually go to bed not long after I lift. How would you change it?

i would eliminate all whey except hydro wpi
