Ok. I felt the need to say that I love Beverly International Supplements. BUT, they are truly too expensive these days. I was a devoted customer. However, over the past year or so, I just cannot validate spending so much more money for supplements.
For example, on BB.com today I purchased
Optimum Nutrition - Gold Standard - $42.99
5 Lbs. Chocolate Mint
Supplement Facts

Servings Per Container77

If I were to purchase Beverly International Muscle Provider,
1LB 14.68oz comes at a cost of $40.79

*** I just cannnot see how Beverly can continue charging this amount of money. Yes, I truly feel there proteins are superior to most others. However, I don't feel it supercedes the dollar and cents of the equation. With the Optimum Protein, I can get more than double the amount of servings per container for roughly the same price (30 servings compared to 77).
This is not an attack on Beverly....I just wanted to post this b/c I think they are pricing out many individuals in the market. It seems like since I first found Beverly Proteins several years ago, the containers have gotten smaller and smaller...and the price has gone higher and higher. Particularly in these tough economic times, it just does not seem justifiable.
Just random thoughts. Would love to hear the experience of other consumers out there.

i look to VPX protien ... its easily on par with anything beverly produces. even ole spout mouf jeff everson would agree. listen..i get 5 lbs of syngex for 35 dollars wich imo is a super high quality whey blend that i am confidant is partially responsible for my recent gains in muscle mass while on a cut. you can buy beverly all day long if you have the fun tickets.. its good stuff. but im with you.. these days you have to get the most out of every dollar.
