Positive experiences
“Coffee with cream, has to be a cream or fake creamer with a whey protein, doesn't. It gives me a gentle but potent energy boost with no headache and no jitters.”
“I do notice they help significantly but i cannot tolerate them (yes, I have tried concentrate, isolate and hydro), I start to bloat a lot and feel a bit nauseous.”
“In my case I feel mentally more relaxed ever since I started taking 4 scoops of whey protein per day. I also notice more endurance in the gym.”
“4 scoops of whey on top of my food intake made a difference in the way I look.”
“I didn't lose any muscle because I ate high protein and worked out everday. I actually gained muscle”
“a post-workout (recovery) shake from whey protein and Carbo Gain which I plan on doing again, since it worked well”
