Phase 8 fillers or no fillers?

[Mysterion27]

Hey guys, I was today close to purchasing a tub of phase 8 until i came across a thread here (more then one in fact) that more or less said that phase 8 contains fillers and thus does not have the protein content per scoop as suggested by label claims ? However according to the label from a screenshot i took,They clearly say NO FILLERS!

So who's right? Where have people got it from that is is a bogus product when so many people seem to love it and if the label claims are wrong then how can a company print so called facts on the label if they are not true??


Here is the screenshot

How about looking at the actual label, rather than the claims.

OP loves making threads.

How bout doing the research like I told you, instead of making another thread

Another Phase8 thread..

[Mysterion27]

The research i have done suggests phase 8 has about 19g of real protein which is pathetic given they claim is has 26g, If none of these rumours started i would have bought it ha

google taurine/glycine protein fillers and then make a thread about your findings.

What you posted isn't even a label. It's a copy and pasted description of one of MT's lines on a retailers website. It has no relevance to Phase8, it's referring to their preworkouts and other supplements.

Ok well if you have it now finish it and don't get it again if the protein content isn't as high as you desired. It isn't going to make a huge difference, people still use it and enjoy it.

I tried phase 8 because of the price of course, am I the only one who was extremely annoyed that when you load up 2 scoops and drop it into a shaker you basically unleash a protein powder "dust" bomb all over the counter top? I have since went back to Cellucor protein, is there a certain ingredient that would cause that? or just the way its manufactured? ie very fine powder? either way it was annoying as hell

Technically not a "filler" but more of a ingredient.

For humans, glycine is sold as a sweetener/taste enhancer. Certain food supplements and protein drinks contain glycine.[22] Certain drug formulations include glycine to improve gastric absorption of the drug.[22]

Taurine has many fundamental biological roles such as conjugation of bile acids, antioxidation, osmoregulation, membrane stabilization and modulation of calcium signaling. It is essential for cardiovascular function, and development and function of skeletal muscle, the retina and the central nervous system.

Fair enough guys. I have posted more threads today then since i registered lol It must be the excitement of shopping online ha The reason iam being so picky however is because the cost of protein here is ridiculous and therefore i want to choose the best available protein at the best price!! The prices you guys pay in the us is alot cheaper and thus you can afford to not be as fussy. For example, A tub of ON gold standard here retails at €80 (granted it can be found a lil cheaper if you shop online) but thats colossal , thats like $110 dollars for 3-4 weeks of protein

you really think companies add taurine/glycine for those reasons?

It actually closer to 22g (just under I believe). That's assuming there are no other nitrogen containing ingredients in there.

That's what makes them so anabolic.

I have a gut feeling in my gut that TSN will be releasing an "improved" protein formula that will have taurine/glycine in it.

[MillerTime07]

Once you see the scoop size, you'll understand. Brb filling up half the shaker just to get 40 protein. I'd pass on it OP.

Let's hope not.

Yep new protein will be in store soon that the profile was semi released already

Has some goodies in it and 26g protein
BcAA are not counted towards protein content of powder

That is the key. If a company discloses that, then they aren't padding. Otherwise, its up for speculation.

I don't think many companies will use BCAA's to pad their protein powders since BCAA's are often more expensive than the actual protein.

Well I was just referring to Amino Acid count, not just BCAA count.

Taurine is a very beneficial amino and there are a lot if people that supplement with it.

[wheels30]

mono and diglycerides = trans fats. I dont want that in a powder im taking daily.

[polgas]

Come on man. We all know why companies add taurine/glycine to their proteins, They're cheap, and they spike the total protein content of a product. If companies clearly stated the amount of added aminos or creatine in their supplement facts panel like XF does with their UP protein, then I'd be okay with it.

Now you're just being dense.

yea, they love to consume protein that isnt really protein and probably has no where close to the 26g on the label

PHASE 8 IS TRASH! so many better proteins with NO FILLERS! phuck that bullchit company, since they are changing all their supps why cant they put out a new phase 8 WITHOUT the filler? hmmmmm makes you think, doesnt it
