Default Pro Nos protein

Anyone hear of this company. I bought this protein at the suggestion of the GNC clerk. Multi-Fractioned Whey Isolate Complex

http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp...entPage=search

I didn't like the flavor. Unless I see something, I would most likely stick to the GNC whey. Is there a site that compares or tests the supplements?

GNC Whey is absolutely terrible. I would stay away from any GNC brand products.

Give Optimum Nutrition Whey a try.

Not sure Mike's reasons, but GNC protein is absolutely disgusting.... once you get to realize that a lot of things available are a lot better. My honest opinion is that their protein is of lower quality as well. The MRI brand protein recommended is probably of a higher quality, but as Mike said, Optimum Nutrition is well rounded in flavor and quality for the price. I'd go with one of their blends.
There are sites that compare.... I can't think of them off the top of my head. The testings are few and far between.... as it is expensive and there is no income to be had by testing. For the most part, you have to take the companies word for what is in the product.

The flavor of the NOS was a little strong for my taste, and there is a lot more in the can than just protein. I bought a good hand blender and that thing makes quick work of any lumps. I could add fruit and yogurt too and make a smoothie in the tumbler.

I like the GNC chocolate but the strawberry was horrid. but my main concern is the protein. The NOS claim is that their multifractioned protein is better.

i asked disco to in a way play devil's advocate. if he is going to tell us that the protein is bad, i think he should tell us why he thinks it is bad. i do not use any protein at the moment and havent ever used this particular one.
