LG Sciences Lipotropic Protein OR Dymatize Elite Gourmet???

[qbaonline]

I'm using elite gourmet since 4 months, taste is great and price too, but now
viewing LG Sciences Lipotropic Protein is very similar to elite gourmet but it has 5 gr of protein more per serving??

In overall which do you prefer?? thanks

I also use both..tough call if I had to choose one..Glad I dont!!! LOL I use Dymatize 12hr protein with 1 scp of Lipo at night..

I use Lipo throughout the day ....

Lipo's price is tough to beat. Elite is good though. Which flavor of Elite are you trying to get?

I just tried a sample of Lipotropic chocolate today and the taste and mixability were outstanding. LG recently (in the last six months or so) reformulated their protein and it is hugely improved over the previous version. I can't speak for Dymatize, but I've been looking at that as well as it meets my price point.

Yes, I'm a rep, but for what it's worth, I had been buying 2 tubs of Dymatize Gourmet every two months for a good price. It's tasty, and I prefer blends. When Lipo came out initially, I tried it, and choked my way through a tub, hating every minute. I tried it after the reformulation, and I love it. Does it taste better than dymatize? No, but it's as good, if different. I do think it's a better protein profile, with more per serving, and given the great taste, I'll be sticking with it.

Thanks for the feedback man. Have you tried any of the other flavors yet?

[Hansolo261]

LOL! I have LG lipotrophic vanilla its awesome and I have A tub of dymatize as well. tough call. give LG a try, if you dont like it switch back.

[schizm76]

I haven't tried the Dymatize Gourmet, just their Isolate (good stuff!), which I use for PostWO....then actually the LipoT for other times of the day/night...value, quality, taste is outstanding....

^^^ This, I always like switching it up after a couple tubs of the same protein, if it sucks I just switch back. I haven't tried the LG stuff yet, but I think I might get a tub of the vanilla to try out. Dymatize seems to be my stand by right now.

[SirFapsAlawt]

I'm halfway through the new vanilla Lipo right now and very impressed. Dymatize taste really good but for some reason I get an allergic skin reaction from it.

[theculture]

My vote goes for lipotropic protein...... the profile is really nice, tastes good, and great value (one of the cheapest 5lbers?)

These are my thoughts exactly. Hard to beat the profile for the price and the taste has improved so much that it is a crap shoot if you are going to get better unless you are willing to pay $45-50 for 5 pounds of protein.

Was just going to post this. Also that fact that someone finally figured out how to make pea protein taste good. That is a huge accomplishment on LG Sciences' part.

Dymatize Gourmet is actually cheaper than lipo, its 29.99.

I see it as 31.99

Both great prices, you see nothing but great reviews on flavors for both proteins, so it comes down to profiles imo which LG's is pretty top notch, and a little unique.

I can't comment myself on dym's flavor, but I love the chocolate and vanilla I have from LG.

[GillyBill]

I have been an Elite man myself for years but LG's protein has been my choice protein this last month. Metrobra sent me a sample of the vanilla and chocolate. Not crazy about the chocolate but the vanilla was amazing!

well then, they just increased the price, couple days ago, it was still 29.99

Wow... if anyone thinks gourmet tastes good you seriously have never tried much protein... that stuff is as close to the bottom of the barrel taste wise as it gets. Every flavor I've tried is quite bad, but granted I am spoiled by having tried hundreds of proteins.

Opposite here. I've had proteins across the whole spectrum and I think the Elite Gourmet, not the Isolate, but the blend, is extremely tasty.

[rangerkid2187]

hows the isolate taste? I just picked up a 2lber of chocolate but i have a few servings of ON left before I open it.

Taste is a subjective matter anyways, everyone has their own opinion.

Seems like LG has a great price for their product and the same with Dymatize Gourmet. Looks like it mostly comes down to where u can get a better deal and which flavor for personal preference. There was just a thread on a great debate over Myofusion Bananna flavor

Dymatize Gourmet is actually cheaper than lipo, its 29.99.

Let's do some quick math:

5lbs vanilla Lipo = 69 servings x 26gr protein per serving = 1794gr protein per tub

32.99 / 1794 is $.018 per gram, or $.45 per 25gr


5lbs vanilla Elite Gourmet = 73 servings x 21gr protein per serving = 1533gr protein per tub

31.99 / 1533 is $.021 per gram, or $.52 per 25gr

Your extra $1 gets you an additional 261gr protein, or around 1/2lb.



Now, I'm not dissing Dymatize. I've used a whole lot of it, around 15 five lb tubs, maybe more. It's good. But so is Lipo, and I like lipo's protein sources better.

If I happen to catch it on sale again I'll let you know... I've turned down a few sales where I could get it for $3.50/lb. Honestly I wouldn't wanna drink gourmet if it was free.

PM me when you find that sale. That is an awesome price for it.

Yeah, you're right. It was 29.99 just a few days ago.

well done

It was at the same place everyone recently got SPMax from. Haven't seen it that low for a few months but they tend to have their stupidity sales in cycles.

Speaking of that, I actually got my lipotropic from them as well for $13.50 (yes, the 5lb tub). I think I'd say lipotropic tasted better than gourmet, didn't have the same flavor in both though (choc lipo and multiple non-choc gourmet flavors). I personally didn't care for it still but it's drinkable for sure.

[viennafat]

Shadar, you getting these sales online or in the store?

$13.50 for 5lbs is fackin awesome!
I would drink donkey piss for that price if it gave me 25g of protein per serving.

I think I just filled the cup.

Lipo protein is my favorite protein atm. Soooo good. It's been the best protein to use for the protein cake recipe.

Online. The stores have piss poor selection but occasionally can find good clearance deals. The website has decent selection and tons of flaws which can be used to your advantage during certain sales.

I don't understand why people are so cheap about their protein though. It's already the cheapest protein source you're taking in most likely... I personally save money elsewhere and enjoy my shakes for the whole dime or so more it costs me to enjoy it. I mean with hugeness XF is only $34 or whatever a tub and Myo often goes down to $30 (as it is right now some places) or even into the mid 20's. Good tasting quality protein doesn't cost much money at all. Even when they aren't on sale it's only like a dime more per shake.
