Fitness Pro "Super Whey", 10lbs for $85 (chocolate). I bought it, and now I regret it. Stuff tastes like battery acid and I'm not sure why, nor does it mix well.
I occasionally use whey to mix with Kratom, if I don't have juice. Here's an observation: Using Super Whey and an equal amount of water/Kratom, it doesn't dissolve. Repeat that with MPW and disperses nicely. And Kratom does NOT mix well.
John, any idea on the dispersion issue? Lecithin in yours, perhaps??
It could be any number of things causing the bad taste and mixability, Rob, I'm not familiar with the Fitness Pro product.
We do like to use better, health and fitness boosting alternatives to things like the cheap and potentially harmful* Xanthan Gum - which is a fermented sugar, basically.
One thing about MASS PRO is that it is a highly refined product at every single level... every step.
Only a very select few competing powders are somewhat in the same class.
Not boast, just fact.
We have worked very hard to optimize even "minor" things like mixability, flavor profile nuances, etc. Things that other companies dismiss out of hand as unimportant.
It may not be important to them and their profits, but it matters to more end users than they realize and that's where our focus is at.
*Xanthan Gum can cause side effects such as intestinal gas (flatulence) and bloating.
People who are exposed to xanthan gum powder might experience flu-like symptoms, nose and throat irritation, and lung problems.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of xanthan gum during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid using amounts larger than those normally found in foods.
Nausea, vomiting, appendicitis, hard stools that are difficult to expel (fecal impaction), narrowing or blockage of the intestine, or undiagnosed stomach pain: Do not use xanthan gum if you have any of these conditions. It is a bulk-forming laxative that could be harmful in these situations.
Surgery: Xanthan gum might lower blood sugar levels. There is a concern that it might interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop using xanthan gum at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
