      The 6 Star also has Beta-Alanine and creatine. It is also very cheap for what you get. The Balm Pop flavor taste great. For the servings you get and price point you can not beat it. No it's not the BEST but it's cheap, great tasting, and I like it. I have tried others and most are nothing special. Plus I can add to it other things if I so choose. Like more creatine, cit, and ammino acids.

      The incomplete protein concept has long since been debunked. That’s just something people throw around to promote the status quo I guess bc ppl love animal products and don’t want to accept an alternative is just as good (and better health wise). Which makes little sense to me it’s not as if you’re gonna stop using animal products if that’s what you enjoy. Low amino acid numbers only matter when you either aren’t consuming a lot of food, after you’ve consumed so much you’ll have met the daily requirement of that amino acid. And it doesn’t even have to be consumed within the same time frame, just has to be within the same day. This is totally ignoring the fact we’re eating a variety of foods which make up for the amino acids each other are lower in. Studies that get stuff like 40% more digestibility from animal protein are ones measuring what happens when you have 1 serving of food. Idk what the name of the study was but there’s a recent one where they measured a practical amount and found eggs or milk at 89%, plant 91%, and eggs or milk at 95% digestibility. Implying if you’re going for a specific number you might have to add a little bit extra grams to hit no matter what you’re eating

      No, because the "brand that pays his bills" was pure whey Isolate with a negligible amount of harmless lecithin. The other one had artificial flavorings and sweeteners including but not limited to the carcinogenic sucralose (cane sugar coated in cancer forming chemicals to prevent digestion).

      a little trick i learned is to take the amount of protein per serving and divide it by the serving size. if it comes out to the 70% and up mark then that's apparently a very decent ratio and you're not needing to use a huge amount to reach the amount of protein stated; and you're not wasting money.

    Trying to sift through all the protein powders is daunting, this helped a great deal. I was getting the dymatize (french vanilla) at Sam's Club for 40 dollars (80 oz) which is quite a good deal, but it was disappointing to find out about the acesulfame potassium which was important enough that Thomas specifically called it out as concerning (spikes insulin). So that has me shopping again, but wtf, the isopure is twice the cost for less product. Amazon won't let you sort by price per ounce, but they do list it, which helps. I don't know why anyone even considers anything more than a 1.50 per ounce product if they are leaning heavily on the whey protein to hit their daily total protein goal (assuming ~1 gram per pound of body weight). I am not a foodie nor have the time to make all the high protein meals I need each day, I have to make the shakes. Dymatize was, by far, the best deal assuming you buy it at Sam's Club (.50 an ounce). I guess I'll have to live with the acesulfame potassium.
    It should be noted that Amazon prices for Dymatize is substantially higher that what they sell it for in the store so maybe that is also the case for buying at Walmart too.
    Edit:. I was wrong. The dymatize I get from sam's is only 58 oz, not 80.

    • @n4gmadam
      @n4gmadam Рік тому +6

      Acesulfame potassium will NOT spike your insulin whatsoever, UNLESS, there is already glucose present in your body, which I'd assume you're cutting off since you seem to be concerned about insulin to begin with.
      The entire point of AceK is to be a substitute to glucose that can be used without the fear of insulin rising.
      You have most likely been ingesting AceK for your entire life seeing as it's very often used in everyday products including dairy just as an example.
      It's been put through numerous tests for years and it's been deemed safe for god knows how long, however just like everything else in life, it should be taken in moderation.
      One of the few negative studies of AceK is one from the 1970s when it was still new on a few RATS, so... yeah. You're fine man.

    As someone who’s lactose intolerant, Muscle Milk makes the most sense to me mainly cause it has all the milk proteins without milk. The savings difference between it and IsoPure and all the rest is negligible. + I don’t use protein shakes that often so I won’t care about the high calories.

    Also could you do a video or a series for teenagers who are athletes and work out? I have two teenage daughters, one is a competitive cheerleader and the other is in ROTC and weightlifting at school. I think you would be the perfect person to put out videos for teenagers/parents and educate us on what is good for kids and maybe do some videos teaching them how to work out without hurting themselves, and what supplements (if any) are safe for kids who are still growing. It would be great to get some advice/tips/direction from you. Thank you!

      Hey There - I wanted to give you a heads up about having teenagers involved in sports/working out at school. I raised my 2 sons and when they started getting involved with sports one of them was offered “supplements” by a coach. He didn’t take them and he told me the same day it happened. Of course I immediately went to the school to speak with the principal. Turns out that they weren’t steroids which was what came to my mind when my son told me about it. It was creatine and some other over the counter stuff like in this video. My point is be aware that there are coaches and others that might offer things to your daughters. I’m just glad that my son knew he could talk to me about anything.
      Stay vigilant and safe
      Cheers

      @@prepperjonpnw6482 Granted I get what you're saying, and whilst I no longer take creatine since I had zero response to it, it isn't necessarily harmful per se. Though why the coach didn't first talk about nutrition baffles me, but creatine can be helpful for certain individuals when training heavily. But obviously the guy should have spoken to their parents first before a teenager.

The rabbit, the squirrel, possibly they got into the neighbors' vegetable plot. Still healthier than food industry waste. But I am so grateful for this video.

    The Dymatize ISO100 has to be the best tasting protein powder available. Especially their chocolate flavor. The Fruity Pebbles flavor he looked at had all the artificial colors and glitter stuff, but the normal flavors don't have all those. Even then, it says on the label "less than 1%". So you have to take into account, that it is just a very tiny amount of "bad" stuff. If flavor is not a concern for you, then he's right, you can't beat the ISOpure for clean protein powders. But you will pay a bit more for no flavor. Just up to personal preference.

      @T-Vegas Рік тому +1

      It mixes very well. Some cheaper powders can clump up or feel grainy but ISO100 is very smooth and blends completely. Also, since it is hydrolyzed, it is easier to digest. While other types of whey protein can cause digestive distress. I've had no problems with the ISO 100. Also the hydrolyzed whey protein is absorbed faster than other whey proteins. Then you can get into recovery quicker after a work out.

    I love your content but this is a rare miss for me. You need to also consider 'taste' and weigh the pros and cons of costs compared to something that tastes bad. Vega might have an impressive ingredient list, but it tastes bad to me because it is more 'earthy and plant based. I've never had a good Vega product. On the other hand, I do appreciate the flavors of Dymatize and Muscle Milk. That's why the ingredient list is longer. So you're getting less protein per serving as an example but if it's something you're gonna enjoy over and over again it's a good product. I will say that I also agree IsoPure is a better product overall but not necessarily in taste. Again That's something that you need to consider.
