Last one month I am using whole truth protein isolate. I had gut issues with others but this has been really good. Its flavourless and dissolves so clean without foam. Its almost clear after dissolving and doesnt even feel in your stomach.

Added to it its 30gm protein per scoop

But we should keep asking the question why does one need to use protein supplement? How many people actually calculate the approximate amount of protein in their diet to see what the shortfall is. I mean, your diet would have to be utter crap if you think you need to use supplements to fulfill your entire quota of required protein, or even half of it!

Our soil is getting polluted with heavy metals and chemicals. Not sure how you avoid it unless you stop growing on ground.

I am also using TWT isolate and agree with your observations regarding the packaging. How do you transfer the contents from the pack to the jar?

As the powder is very light, transferring it by pouring to the jar is resulting in loss by fine particles flying off.

When I got the latest packet, I also tried to cut it at top side to make a small opening and inserting the cut portion to a big mouthed container to transfer the contents. But the powder got stuck in the opening with the big spoon providing itself. It was a mess to take the packet out, open it at the zip lock, remove the spoon and then transfer contents again through the small opening.

Wish they provide a robust package or container like others.

I am lactose intolerant and TWT isolate is not irritating my stomach unlike ON concentrate. I am also taking it during early day time as I found it the best time for smooth digestion.

Read this on TOI recently. I am sure that for recreational weight-trainers it won't be more that 1 gm per kg, and it should not be difficult to get from our every day food.

Our body will not utilise every gram of protein that goes down our gullet. It will either expel or store as fat any excess nutrient.

I wonder how do bodybuilders with protein consumption of around 2 gm per pound achieve this rare feat?

So which brand did you settle on?

P.S. I am currently using Amul's whey protein, primarily because of the Amul brand. I've used MuscleBlaze and Avvatar in the past.

With a lot of patience!

I used a large soup spoon and did it very slowly, spoon by spoon, while some music played. You could also try a plastic funnel if you have one, but I didn't.

Yes, I somehow grew to dislike all other brands after having TWT Whey Isolate. I really hope their quality stays up.

My gym trainer has recommended Whey Protein to me. Ran it by my doctor and he too has suggested the same. I gym 6 days a week and am a pure vegetarian.

1. Please share the best brands, products & recommendations.

2. Also reliable sources to buy from? Have been told there are a lot of fakes in the market.

3. Any other tips & advice.

Muchas gracias (thank you very much ).

Hi GTO, nice thread..labrynthine though what did you finally go with? and on what basis you chose the product?

[sumeethaldankar]

So guys can anyone elaborate the positive effects of using whey protein powder? Does one feel energetic or does one better in any way or it is neutral? Does it really cause any muscle gain in your experience?

[Comrade]

After trying few brands, we like TWT isolate the most. No bloating, no flatulence. Mixes easily with water (no granular texture) & neutral taste that we can drink directly without adding any other ingredients, like fruits or curd etc. We have seen slight difference in taste & texture between Amazon & TWT website although seller is TWT in both cases. For now, I am attributing that to being different batches. I am also praying TWT does not dilute the quality for sake of volume or pricing etc.

It's a bit tough to get the original C4 in India, and that's where GNC fits in with their own website.
