5.0 out of 5 stars THE Perfect Protein, January 18, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
1) PURITY: It has one ingredient, whey protein isolate. May the perfectionist in you rejoice!

2) SOLUBILITY: It dissolves super easy. A 3-second whiz in the blender is enough, or about 30 seconds of stirring.

3) DRINKABILITY: It lends absolutely NO texture to whatever liquid you add it to. If you mix it with water, the finished product retains the viscosity of water! I was shocked at it's textural neutrality, unlike soy isolate, which has a chalky mouth-feel, (yuck!)

4) VERSATILITY: It's 99% tasteless. (Somewhat like if you put a teaspoon of skim milk in a glass of water, lol) You can add it to almost ANYTHING! (EXCEPT HOT LIQUIDS, THE PRODUCT WILL IRREVERSIBLY CURDLE! As a side note, acid does NOT curdle the protein. I've even added it to straight lemon juice without curds forming. But whey flavored lemonade isn't my cup of tea.)

5) MESS-RESISTANT: It's not a super-fine powder like corn starch or soy isolate, but more the texture of pancake... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Protein, August 12, 2008
I'm a personal trainer, nutritionist, and former bodybuilder. The pure unflavored whey protein isolate is definitely the best protein powder you can find. There are many health benefits to using whey protein, but with all of the artificial sweeteners and additives in most powders, those health benefits are ruined. Insulin sensitivity is a major factor when it comes to burning fat and building muscle. Lack of insulin sensitivity is the reason for sugar cravings and getting the shakes when you don't have your Coke or Pepsi everyday. Whey protein is proven to improve insulin sensitivity more than any other protein source, but common additives like Acesulfame and Aspartame cause insulin secretion much like sugar, and that diminishes the whey's ability to increase insulin sensitivity. The key to burning fat 24 hours a day is to keep your insulin in a low to moderate range, and avoiding spikes.

As for guys trying to build big muscles, insulin and growth hormone are very important... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Protein Source for Weight Loss Surgery Patients or Lactose Intolerant, December 2, 2007

I was a bit skeptical about using this to supplement my protein needs. It mixes easily in a blender, and you really can mix it with nearly everything. I use it to thicken up soups, in smoothies, and I sprinkle some in oatmeal and cold cereals.

Because I need at least 100 grams of protein each day, I find it hard to do that without driving up my fat, cholesterol, and caloric intake. I began using whey protein several years ago, but my lactose intolerance has also gotten considerably more sensitive. Using this product 2-3 times each day has helped me to maintain my protein needs without ANY of the usual side affects from whey protein (without isolate). The price is more than reasonable, and nearly 30 grams protein per serving makes this the perfect protein supplement for people like me.
