Can some of you explain why you think Optimum is better.

I have no idea which one is best, but would like to see some reasoning behind the choice ????

Chaps,

You are not convincing me !! Great taste is not the criteria you should be going with !
If so then just buy Benn and Jerrys ice cream ??

You should be looking at its content and dependant on what you are taking it for, then look at Whey isolate, Whey concentrate, or Micellar Casein content. Then the amount of added carbs etc.
I use a few brands but predominantly CNP (Dorian Yates App) Pro Peptide as my evening time shake, and CNP Pro Mass as my after workout shake.
Also been trying Reflex Progen which is a new Meal Replacement product.

Sometimes products that mix too easily are therefore too easily absorbed, ie absorbed to quickly. You need occassions when the protein is absorbed slowly as at bedtime.

No point in eating well during the day and then not taking a good protein last thing at night when you`re going to go 8 hours without taking anything !!!!!!!!

Please reply with your thoughts ?

Hey Arnie!This is the same **** I've been using for years with excellent results!Dorian Yates and Chemical Nutrition makes the best products on the market!Beverly International 2nd!Pro Mass is a phenominal post workout drink that really does work compared to the **** products some companies put out now a days!Optimum LOL!!!!Propeptide and Pro MR have that specially prepared micellar casien in it which NO other company can match!
