Here's what I can say:
- It's a blended protein (blends are better overall than straight whey)
- It tastes great (individual tastes do vary but overall people prefer Myofusion)
- It contains what the label says it does
- It is priced fairly
that said - there are many good proteins out there and I use other brands in addition to Gaspari for supplements. I don't believe Gaspari is the only one good brand.

Sorry I missed these questions 1 - I'm not 100% sure on our production facilities. I do know that we have had tremendous growth in the past few years, so it is possible that more than one facility is being used. But all of our facilities are GMP certified and pass tight quality controls. We also do post production testing of each batch to ensure quality and consistency.
2 - The price of whey protein raw material has been skyrocketing. If you've seen the recent ads, you know that Gatorade is promoting a protein post workout recovery product. Other big players like Pepsi are getting into the protein business. This has caused a shortage of protein and hence, prices have gone up. We've tried to maintain pricing as low as possible, but the costs dictate that the price has to be modified.It's hard to win an argument with a smart person.

It's really 50% whey conc, 49% whey iso, 48% egg albumen and 47% milk protein.
Seriously, the horse is dead; stop beating it.
Not all vanish. Yes, true protein is still around. But many vanish. I can't even remember who the bargain favorites were from 2007 when I joined.It's hard to win an argument with a smart person. It's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person. - Bill Murray

I don't choose Myofusion but I choose Optimum. I've been using that stuff for a long-time and have always made consistent gains and have yet to complain about the taste and/or pricing. $80 for 24 lbs of Serious Mass, $18 for 2-month supply of multis, cheaper creatine mono, reptutable Whey Protein, excellent taste and cost-effective Casein.
Perhaps marketing standards will change and everyone will be as open and prideful about their honesty as Trutein or w/e, but until that day comes I'll continue to stick it out with products that are both cost-effective and give me results.

Thank you for your answers. Much appreciated, but I do seem to think that the prices were rising much before all of the recent Pepsi/Gatorade stuff. I see why Gaspari does it as a company, but it sucks for the consumer.
Illa, seems you have reason that we should not be trusting TruNutrition and their. Lot's of posts made by you seem to point in that direction, do you have a legitimate reason for it? Just curious bro, but if XF was in TruNutritions spot would it really be any different? Everyone has to start somewhere right? No hate, just a serious question. Please share if you know something we don't.

The OP doesn't know the profile because it's proprietary. I agree that it's at least... gullible... to believe that a proprietary formula is hiding a really good blend. But it's certainly also possible that the Gaspari explanation is the unvarnished truth. Besides, most food is a proprietary formula - they tell you the ingredients, but not the precise ratios. Proprietary protein forumulas are hardly a surprise, since they're as much food as they are supplements.
My personal policy for supplements is usually to assume that proprietary formulas hide the worst possible blend of ingredients, which is to say that I usually avoid proprietary formulas. It's kind of like I assume everyone has STDs. It's obviously not true, but behaving as if it is can be good policy.
But even if you assume the "worst" here and believe that it's mostly whey concentrate, it doesn't make you retarded if you use it anyway. It's a utility protein for a reasonable price. It comes highly recommended. Maybe you specifically WANTED a whey concentrate with some fats and carbs and a touch of other things. Maybe you even like the taste, as so many people do.
Taste is, of course, subjective. Nobody is retarded for liking the taste. They just have different taste than the OP. I tried it because I didn't care what the precise ratios were, or even if it was mostly whey concentrate. But I didn't care much for the flavor either. It's not BAD, but the OP's 6/10 sounds about right for me, for the flavors I tried. But I think I'm in the minority here. Most seem to like it a lot.
