Frequently Asked Questions

What is whey protein isolate?

Whey protein isolate (WPI) has the highest concentration of protein and BCAAs, while having less carbs, cholesterol, and fat compared to other whey proteins. WPI is also low in lactose and easy on your digestive tract.

What are BCAAs?

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They support muscle growth and reduce muscle fatigue.

Directions

Consume your shake after exercise or anytime during the day. Mix 32 grams (about 1 scoop) of Whey Protein Powder into 6-8 fl oz cold water, milk or other beverage. For 30 seconds stir, shake or blend until dissolved.

Warning

For healthy adults, consume enough protein to meet your daily protein requirements with a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements throughout the day as part of a balanced diet and exercise program. Store in a cool, dry place. Serving scoop included, but may settle to the bottom during shipping. Contents sold by weight not volume. Some settling will occur.

Good Protein Product

The product itself is great and taste not bad. I enjoy the more naturalized powder.

The manager Zach, trying to give me grief and argumentative when I called him about my pickup order package being opened/tampered. Literally called 30 minutes after pickup. I don't appreciate the argumentative, and not listening to my concern. He may need some training in customer resolution. I'll speak to the other manager tomorrow. Only 3 stars due to customer service aspect!!

Best whey out there!

This is the BEST tasting whey protein I've ever had. I've tried multiple brands and flavors and this by far is the best. Mixes very well and extreme milk chocolate does taste pretty similar to nesquik with of course that distinct whey protein taste without all of the added sugar.

Worth the dime!

It?s been really great for me, I am lactose so it?s hard for me to find a protein that doesn?t make me gassy. This one has worked so far!

Great Protein!

Great solid choice for protein. Tastes great(even better with milk), great macro profile, and doesn't require a lot of water to mix with.

Good quality (?)

First I'd like to open my review with thanking the Vitamin Shoppe for having this protein powder at such a good price and for such fast shipping. I've tried the product now for 2 days and I have to say that so it's impossible to tell if it's working yet cuz it will take a couple months I think, I got to tell you I did not care for the taste I used to use metrics very similar to this product and I thought the flavor was better. if I add it to soy milk unsweetened and I put in a tablespoon of Splenda it taste better the less water a little thicker and I like it better I wish they would make this product so it would get thicker not quite like a milkshake but almost because products go into the stomach and keep you full for a very long time. more watery these drinks are you just swallow them and it doesn't really do much for the Hunger sometimes yeah sometimes no. I'm just taking it because I need extra protein my body lost a lot of weight and I have just had a tummy tuck it seems like I cannot build muscle and it seems like I have more sag and flab than ever before so protein powders did not help me during my weight loss to get stronger or to become more solid that's the elastin in our skin and someone's got to come out with a pill we can take daily to actually give us more lasting as we get older so our skin does not sag I'm hoping it's Japan there an honorable people you can trust when they put something out unlike China we import so much crap from China nothing works everything Fades breaks falls apart it's just not worth the money or the room it's taking up in our landfills already.

fake chocolatey flavor

forced to buy this flavor after reading all the praise and positives to this flavor, I'm just going to say it, its straight up nasty, the chocolate tastes bad, like a expired or fake chocolate flavor) this is by no means similar to drinking chocolate milk, as most say, this flavor let me down, and don't even bother mixing this with water, its a no-no. I liked the chocolate malt and rocky road flavor MUCH MUCH better.

Great product

This is a great brand of Whey protein. Love the flavor, good for baking. Only complaint is sometimes it doesn't mix that great.
