alright so i saw some people on here talking about trueprotein.com so i checked it out
whats a good mix for a protein shake? i don't know the difference between all of them

I would just get DC's protein formula. It's pretty cheap and you still have options with the flavors and sweeteners.

Do you already have your carbs for PWO?

You could also do a custom mix and just load it up with whey concentrate.

I don't think it's cost effective to do a mix with whey & WMS or malto/dex on their site.

Oh, and don't forget to use a coupon code.

no, i was actually wondering what was good for carbs
especially since i'm using creatine
i try to eat a lot of potatoes but i dont know if thats good for anything
whats good for carbs? and shouldnt they be highGI carbs?

Ross86 · 04-28-2008, 11:32 AM

They should be high GI carbs post workout. You will need those to absorb the creatine if it's monohydrate. I got 3.3 or 3.2 lbs of Waxy Maize Starch from NP for 12.50. It mixes up better than maltodextrin & dextrose.

Ditto on the waxy maize, I prefer it to the standard malto/dex mix most people do.

Basically all of their proteins are quality, it depends alot on what you want as far as quick absorption or slow digesting. If you got the extra bucks and want a nice quick absorbing protein the Isolate Microfiltered or Isolate Ion-Exchange are really good and dissolve like nothing else. Best part about true protein is you can get the protein PLAIN and then buy their flavor packs, very handy if you mix protein into certain foods. Plain True Protein + Natty Peanut Butter + Chocolate Flavor Pack = best slop ever

ditto x 2 on the waxy...love the stuff.

Whoa! DC's formula is ion exchange whey isn't it?!

spork · 04-28-2008, 05:16 PM

I thought ion-exchange wasnt all that great..?

Ross86 · 04-28-2008, 05:28 PM

It's made using hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, I think. Some of the amino acids become denatured. Overall, not a big deal. Microfiltration is the best, but it's at least twice as expensive as ion exchange. Their ion exchange whey is 96% pure. And it's pretty cheap.
