Economical Isolate

GameDayDog · 05-25-2007, 06:38 AM

I was in Vitamin Shoppe the other day for some Garlic pills and picked up a bottle of Whey Protein Isolate... It was 2 - 2.2 pounds for @ $30 ... I take about 3 scoops a day... when I wake up, pre & post workout... I love the taste and flavors available with an isolate .... but I notyce that for me to get 10 pounds, it'll run me nearly $150 bucks.. Which is a lot when I know I can go back to Optimum Nutrition and get a 5 pound tub for @ $30...

I'd lyke to continue taking Isolate if possible... anyone know of a cost effective place to purchase an isolate formula??

Thanks..

Peace..~G

true protein . com

Great isolates and really good service. Their prices are also good compared to local stores.

I would not recommend All The Way though, their prices are very cheap and their whey is good, but their service is horrible. You may not even get your order...just be careful of where you order your supplements.

But TP is a very good company.

Yeah, I use TP now. It mixes crazy good and everything and it makes me doubt that all the other isolates I have tried were actually pure isolates.

**romanaz** · 05-25-2007, 06:27 PM

yeah TP is hands down the best I've tried. Their Isolate is damn good. Very tasty, mixes perfectly.

Hmm.. I was checking them out.. can you guys give me any recommendations involving the options they offer... lyke - do you guys get the splenda with aminogen..?? and if you guys have a flavor preference, I'd love to hear it as well...

Any & every tip helps... thanks..

Peace..~G

Get the stevia, and in the comment box type "double stevia." Just get the regular WPI in chocolate or vanilla + BSL flavors.

Win anything yet?

GameDayDog · 05-27-2007, 12:44 AM

Hahaha... I was going to get the premium fruit punch too!! ...

See.. thanks for the warning... the reason I'm into the isolates now is because I'm getting tyred of having vanilla & chocolate as flavor choices...

Peace..~G

**Ikaika** · 05-27-2007, 12:50 AM

Yeah fruit punch is bad news...just thinking about it makes me almost gag.

**Peaked_18** · 05-27-2007, 01:01 AM

The BSL flavors make it 120% better, believe me...choose whatever flavor in the BSL and you won't be disappointed.

GameDayDog · 06-01-2007, 01:51 PM

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their help here...

I even used the discount code and saved about 3 bucks..

Better than nuffin'..

Peace..~G

EzyRyder · 06-01-2007, 04:24 PM

I got regular chocolate, and I can't taste it that much...

**bubba g** · 06-01-2007, 06:35 PM

TP has good protein, but IMHO their prices are high...

DJohnson · 06-01-2007, 10:00 PM

The prices are more reasonable for me considering I normally have to pay shipping and customs out of my behind, but TP has a Canadian site. Thumbs up!

Oh, btw, sorry I didn't see this earlier, but I always get Splenda and Aminogen with the free flavors. I tried the premium and didn't notice much of a difference. I can't afford premium flavors, especially BSL at 2$/lb!
