A friend of mine just referred me to True Nutrition for made-to-order protein mixes and whatnot. Seems like they aren’t a bad deal, at least for protein…plus you can spike it with add-ons like flavors, sweeteners, and additional supplements. Anyone ever heard anything about them?
I stick with plain old unflavored whey isolate, which is a tad cheaper, and I can mix my own whatever into it. But this site is a cool concept if it’s legit.
Hmm…I’m digging a little more…looks like they have a whole bunch of reasonably priced stuff on their site. The Casein protein price is tough to beat.
Their pre-workout, Buzz Saw leaves a lot to be desired though…
Their stuff is quality, but I remember buying some “naturally flavored” protein powder from them a few years back and it was the worst stuff I’ve ever tasted. I threw it out. Only time I’ve ever thrown out protein powder. This was a long time ago, though, back before people had really nailed natural flavors.
|t’s good quality but the flavors are made with stevia and have a lingering aftertaste
Stevia… ugh
True Nutrition has a good selection of plant protein. If you’re looking for a post workout protein, I would recommend Select Stack. You can add creatine, BCAAs and/or Carbs and both flavors (rocky road & cake batter) are excellent!
Dante knows his shit.
I know Shelby loves this company for being 100% … yeah taste maybe be meh but i buy the custom blend with egg white & whey iso. oh its not much you can get 5% off if you use SHELBY
I realize I’m new to this but I just spent a lot of time on this site this morning. This is outstanding. And really inexpensive.
Just ordered some samples from them to try
Post your thoughts, please! : )
I absolutely will.
Currently looking at their:
$24 a pound for a post-worokout formula? You are better off just using a EAA + HBCD mixture for intra-workout
Peptopro is super expensive and very hard to justify the cost
Hell the overnight formula at $15/lb is pretty steep compared to getting good Blends of WPI/Casein on the market for around $10 or less (Sparta, PES come to mind)
Looking at it as an intra/post workout.
Interesting concept to be able to create your own.
And should mention that Customer Service responded to a question within an hour…
Do you train fasted? If you don’t why would you need peptopro + HBCD? There will be food digestion / overlapping into the post-workout period so the need to slam a HBCD/Peptopro shake post would be minimal. Even if you do train fasted the difference you would see with an EAA/BCAA + HBCD mixture compared to the peptopro would be negligible especially for the cost.
You could buy a few pounds and test the waters for yourself, but given the price you are much better off going a different route. My 2 cents for you, but your money to spend.
I do eat before I train, but find the ‘build your own’ concept interesting.
Which further explains my point
You won’t be blowing through all the glucose you just ate in the pre-workout meal, and food will be overlapping into the post-workout period. Therefore the need for something instant (like that mix) is minimal. Unless you were doing 2 a day’s, training to be an endurance athlete, or doing large amounts of volume in a fasted state.
All valid points. Unless I have money to blow, this doesn’t appeal to me. I’m still curious to hear feedback for all products. : )
EDIT: ah I see I left this review a year ago
Oh yeah, I’m really late to the party on this.
