TP Calcium Caseinate, WPI and BCAA

**romanaz** · 03-13-2007, 06:18 PM

Ordered some more TP, and I got Calcium Caseinate, WPI and BCAA. Here is my humble opinion on them.

Calcium Caseinate :
Flavor: BSL Vanilla
Mixability : 2/10
Flavor : 3/10
Overal : 2.5/10

Summary : "Calcium Caseinate possesses a fairly bland taste. The mouth texture is fairly smooth but with all casein type proteins, they do possess a somewhat chalky mouth feel. " - from TP's site. The taste, if you could get past the insane amount of chalkiness was ok at best. This stuff mixes horrible with my Cusine art hand blender. It was thick like a milkshake with more ice cream then milk. I'll try a real blender tonight, but I'm not expecting better results.

WPI Ion Exchange:
Flavor : BSL Chocolate
Mixability : 10/10
Flavor : 10/10
Overall : 10/10

Summary : This is much better then my WPC BSL Chocolate. Smoother, creamier, insane chocolate taste. Doesn't get any better then this folks.

BCAA:
Flavor : N/A
Mixability : 5/10
Flavor : 5/10
Overall : 5/10

Summary :
Mixed with my Caseinate, and with my WPI. Mixes horribly. Spent 3 or 4 minutes straight with my hand blender and it would not mix properly. Ended up chewing some of it at the end, especially with the Caseinate.

BCAA's don't mix that well with blenders, you gotta let them sit for a long time. My Xtend takes a good half hour to go into solution.

so, I should let it sit for a while then? Thing is, I mix mine in with the whey, and whey is supposedly not good after awhile. Hmmm, what I can do is just mix the BCAA, then add in the whey later.

note :
since using my blender for the caseinate, it has come out better. Also I got colf-filtration, not ion exchange... oops!

100% casein will not mix well. for night-time mixes, i never go over 50%, and for mrp i stay at around 25%.

bcaa's will mix better in a shaker bottle, but will still take 5 minutes
