Hey guys,
I got this protein called prota-lyn when it was on promotion, most reviews are pretty good, but I wanted to know for myself...
So a few weeks ago, prior to getting BP, I did a fairly basic routine using only ON Whey and made pretty standard gains. I then follwed the same diet and training the next week except using protalyn instead of ON and my gains were non-existent.
I still have a tub of the stuff left, and I'm considering using it but not counting the protein towards my daily needs... anyone know if there is a way to truly determine whether or not it is in fact a decent source of protein?
odd question
We ran a short, small local trial with it a year or so ago and found it to be horrible in regards to mixability. The stuff simply won't dissolve into suspension.
The taste is not good, and the texture/mouth feel is almost unpleasant (we were using natural/unflavored).
That said, it does tout a legit high absorption rate, but not much past a properly processed whey. The down side is that it loses so much in the way of immune factors, much like with a straight isolate.
I think you'll be fine to use it and that your lack of gains that week is likely due to some other factor. Not giving it a ringing endorsement, obviously, but you could do worse as far as protein score/absorption.
