go to supplementdirect and you can buy 11lbs of whey concentrate, 26g protein per serving for about $38, best price out there. It may seem like it might not work because its so cheep, but I have baught all my supps from that site and I've currently gained 10lbs in the first 3.5 weeks of my bulk.

Sorry DaMann...The sams still wins out on cost and the ON Gold standard whey is "artificailly enhanced"
 
gators52...How many servings in that and which type is it?
Oh, and can you even open their website?  I could not.

I got it.
 
Yea gators52 that is pretty much the best price I have ever seen.
 
That is 0.81 cents per gram of protein- that saves about 12-30 cents or more per shake.
 
Natural ON is 1.89 cents per gram of protein
Sams is 1.21 cents per gram of protein
 
So, G you say you use this whey and are happy with it.
 
Also..are there any artificial ingredients ...because they don't list the ingredients just the lab testing info.
 
Thanks for pointing it out gator!

Actually it does show the ingrediants. When you see the product on the page, instead of clicking on the link where it says name of the product, click the more info link. Then from there you can click on a blue link called "nutritional information" which is a photocopy of that actual label on the bag of protein. Fill me in if any of that stuff is too bad for you. It's not flavored so there isn't any of that kind of artificial stuff in there. Yep I'm happy with it, I've used expensive GNC whey a couple years back and no difference.

Whoa...their shippin is a pretty penny!
So this is what I found:
 
With the shipping the 5 pound bag is 1.53 cents per gram of protein.
 
The 11 pound bag runs 1.11 Cents per gram of protein
But the 33 pound bag runs around 0.8 cents per gram of protein.
 
I ordered a 5 pound bag (USD$28.25 with shipping)...last me 2 months +-...if its a good product...I will report.
 
NOTE...This product is
 
  • Ion-exchange purified whey — This is the most pure of all the whey proteins, but may have reduced immunostimulant properties due to chemical processing.

 
as compared to
 
  • Whey isolates — These products are purified without the use of heat. Thus, they still contain the potentially beneficial immunostimulant constituents (immunoglobulins) of whey. Whey protein "isolates" are typically lower in lactose, fat, and cholesterol than regular whey protein.
  • Whey hydrosolates — Essentially this is pre-digested protein that is assimilated into the body more quickly than other, non-hydrolyzed types. This is well suited for use after exercise because of the increased bioavailability of the pre-digested protein. Also, because these products are pre-digested, less energy is needed to digest them.

Is 5lbs Cytosport Complete whey for 29 USD decent? free shipping.  And is it tasty enough? like Straw/banana, choc or vanilla

About 1.6 cents per gram of protein
I think thats a good price.

I don't like the artificial ingredients myself.  I do this to be healthy.

Acesulfame Potassium is on the 10 worst artificial sweeteners list put out by (CSPI) Center for Science in the Public Interest and it has been found to cause cancer in clinical tests...in addition to all the other problems with it.
 
Sucralose/Splenda...you don't even want to go there...What exactly is Splenda?
In a simple sentence, you would just as soon have a pesticide in your food as sucralose because sucralose (Splenda) is a chlorocarbon. The chlorocarbons have long been known for causing organ, genetic, and reproductive damage. It should be no surprise, therefore, that the testing of sucralose reveals that it can cause up to 40 percent shrinkage of the thymus: a gland that is the very foundation of our immune system. Sucralose also causes swelling of the liver and kidneys, and CALCIFICATION of the kidney. Note: if you experience kidney pain, cramping, or an irritated bladder after using sucralose in Splenda, stop use immediately.
 
Some questions about sucralose's safety, arising from the data submitted to the FDA, remain unanswered. These studies included unsettling findings about animals, which, when exposed to high doses of sucralose, experienced:
  • Shrunken thymus and spleen
  • Enlarged liver and kidneys
  • Reduced growth rate in adults and newborns

Is that what you want to supplement your diet with...not me.
