Whey Protein – Vanilla by NOW Foods – Sports And Specialty Formulas (5 lbs. Powder)
Whey Protein is a delicious blend of three of the highest quality whey protein concentrates and isolates from around the world: Micro-Filtered, Ion-Exchanged and Enzymatically Hydrolyzed (partially predigested). This blend of specially processed whey proteins is designed to maximize amino acid absorption and Biological Value (BV). Extra L-Glutamine has been added (830 mg per serving) because of its important role in protecting muscle tissue from breaking down under stressful, vigorous physical activity. Whey Protein is considered to have the highest Biological Value (BV) of any protein source- superior in essential amino acid content to beef, milk, casein or soy. NOW Foods’ Whey Protein is available in Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry flavors.*
Besides having a great deal of problems with the seller, this protein smelled rancid when I opened it and had no vanilla taste.
I did not want to test it any further for fear of food poisoning, but the quality control just isn’t up to snuff. Maybe this is a 1 in a 100 event, but I’m sure I don’t like those odds when it comes to my food and health.
I normally by the NOW whey protein isolate which is great. But this time I screwed up and ordered the Whey concentrate. Big mistake, I’ve had gas and bloating for almost two days, and I eat multiple serving of yogurt and milk everyday with no problems. Short story get the Whey Isolate, it is excellent, mixes well, tastes great and digests well.
