I found a cheaper deal for a sustained release protein @ Aminoz

Pay $135 and get $15 cashback from Aminoz after purchase (I assume they will process this after they ship your item either back to your CC or Paypal account)

Total paid $116 for 4.5kg of protein. This is the cheapest ive ever seen for a branded protein in Australia

This makes it the same price Vitacost is selling it i.e 92 USD = $116 AUD

    This one's meant to taste really good.

    • BlazinPast on 29/01/2015 - 00:33

      That's what I've heard a lot too. Better than ON apparently

    • tran_p on 29/01/2015 - 00:34

      Yup it's taste great. But make sure you look at the nutrition table before consuming it just to make sure it suits your calories or macro intake :)

      • BlazinPast on 29/01/2015 - 00:40

        Yeah the scoop size is 44g which is a lot more than other protein brands (whilst having the same amount of protein). Probably tastes better due to the extra carbs/sugar they put in to flavour it.

        • overlook on 29/01/2015 - 00:54

          this is actually less protein than ON GS.

          This is a meal replacement protein: 22g protein (WPC,WPI,Casein etc), 9g carbs, 5g fiber.

          @jasecs:

          Its a sustained release protein. Its meant to deliver the protein over 4 - 6 hrs.

          Helps with weight loss,and also provides a constant absorption of protein in your system if your trying to put on size but struggle to keep up with your meals

        • Circly on 29/01/2015 - 01:34

          @easternculture:

          no. If you wanted sustained release protein you should get casein protein.. Half of this is sugar and carbs.

          Please dont confuse carbs with sugar

          SYNTHA-6 only contains 2 grams of sugar per serving from Maltodextrin (as per ingredients)

          The remaining carbs are from Polydextrose which is a fiber (5 grams) and the remaining 7 grams would be from Non-Fat Dry Milk and other ingredients

          Half of this is sugar and carbs.

          14 grams in 44 grams is ~ 32%. And your body needs carbs IMMEDIATELY after training to increase insulin levels. You body cannot synthesize protein if there is no energy source

  • BigRedPanda on 29/01/2015 - 01:03

    Only 50% protein, pretty inferior product compared to most WPC/WPI.

          WPI is better

          Obviously you guys don't know your protein.

          Its important for blood amino's to be continuously elevated for hours after training. WPI is a quick absorbing protein that provides amino's for a short period of time, not enough time for the muscles to repair, hence you will not see ANY gains if you struggle with your food intake and/or dont eat clean.

          Slower absorbing protein matrix's that contain WPC and casein are able to maintain blood levels of amino acids for longer times.

          So unless your using a combination of WPI and WPC + Protein from food in your training regime, the your pretty much wasting your time.

          "So unless your using a combination of WPI and WPC + Protein from food in your training regime, the your pretty much wasting your time."

          Well yeah that is what you are supposed to do. Have a protein shake after your workout and then go have a proper meal. The protein powder isnt supposed to replace anything it is just supposed to complement your diet.

          The best bang for your buck protein is WPI the rest of your nutrients can come from proper food.

        • Stefce on 29/01/2015 - 08:16

          @trumpedup: The best bang for your buck protein is WPI the rest of your nutrients can come from proper food.

          That was the prevailing theory for some years however, that's not what the latest research suggests. Latest studies indicate that the best hit of protein comes from a blend of proteins, ideally a mix of fast/medium/slow digesting, e.g. WPC/Soy/Casein or WPI/Egg/Casein. This will spike protein synthesis and keep it humming along as each kind of protein is digested at a different rate.

          Anyhow, the key point is that your protein (assuming its whey WPC/WPI/etc) delivers about 3-5g of lucien, which will trigger protein synthesis. Whey contains about 10% lucien per gram of protein.

          I'd also recommend a fast acting carb (dextrose/glucose/maltodextrin etc) to spike your insulin levels, so that nutrients are efficiently carried to your muscles.

          @Stefce:

          The best bang for your buck protein is WPI

          again. WPI is not the best bang for your buck. and it depends on your training.

          WPI gets absorbed and consumed very quickly. If your insulin levels haven't peaked, then you wont get the anti-catabolic effect after workout. You also wont achieve the Anabolic effect that should last a few hours with insulin. Unless you are injecting a fast acting insulin which i wouldn't recommend unless you are an experienced body builder (Actrapid - peak 2 hrs and plateau 6 hrs, Novarapid - peak 30 min and plateau 2 hrs)

          Protein blends are formulated to target these windows. Ive also read research that suggests you only need 20 - 28 grams of protein after workout (powder based) but again this would be based on your body weight and type of training , rest is from food.

        • Circly on 29/01/2015 - 10:49

          @easternculture:

          Well I guess I should state why I use protein. It is there for convenience and it helps me take in enough protein per day.

          Having one scoop plus proper food after a workout is always going to be better than a protein powder with whey + carbs + sugars + fats. I'd rather pay for a higher protein content and get the cheap carbs/sugars/fats from my post work out meal.

      • BigRedPanda on 29/01/2015 - 11:44

        This stuff works out ~5c/gram of protein. Compare it to Bulk Nutrients WPC which is 2.8 c/gram of protein (based on $110 for 5 kg delivered). For an average gym-goer the biggest factor in protein powder is cost and protein content, which this loses out to many other companies on.

    This is not a good deal.

    Sustained release does not make a difference. Blends are just an excuse for companies to use cheaper ingredients while advertising more expensive ones and not showing actual ratio used. Eg. 1℅ wpi, 1% casein, 98% wpc but use all 3 on marketing and use "blend" in ingredients.

    Also too many additional calories.

    All you need is a pure wpc which you can get for $99/5kg. Or a pure WPI for around $140/5kg (if doing keto or lactose intolerant).

    • Stefce on 29/01/2015 - 08:21

      "Sustained release does not make a difference."

      • lysp on 29/01/2015 - 10:42

        Are there any studies that show actually differences in body composition - as in long term? These mostly measure protein synthesis over a number of hours.

        An increase of protein synthesis may not benefit muscle development longer term.

        Also another way of getting protein synthesis to occur hours after exercise is simply to eat again.

    • eltito on 29/01/2015 - 08:26

      Just curious to know, when you say blends - did you just check the ingredient list, and see a whole list of ingredients? Because I was curious to know so I just googled the ingredient list, and there's literally a whole paragraph of them ,so I assumed that's how you came to the conclusion

      • Stefce on 29/01/2015 - 09:27
        +2

        The problem is that most blends don't give you a break down, its usually some BS proprietary formula. Off the top of my head the only one I can think of that isn't like that is PRO JYM; the trouble is that its quite expensive :(

        I suppose you could buy each powder individually in bulk then make the blend yourself.

        Are you a rep? You seem to be taking offense to a lot of statements made here. Site is about getting value for money, which this is not.

        For the general (and semi-advanced) gym goer, protein timing does not matter. Protein type does not matter. The cheapest (WPC) is perfectly fine as long as you're getting sufficient daily protein.

        What other food is in your system will also affect the rate of protein ingestion, so there are many factors which can change the outcome.

    Really Depends what you are buying this for.
    1. If you love this particular brand and flavouring (Syntha 6 is probably one of the top tasting ones) then go for it
    2. If you need a protein filler this has a 50/50 ratio, effectively paying for 50% "filler"
    3. If you're looking for a quick meal replacement this would be ideal as it has a very good amount of dietary fiber, good protein sources, and won't taste like crap.

    I've been bodybuilding for 15 years. Over that time I've tried almost every protein product on the market. In my experience, the useable protein is the most important aspect, regardless whether it comes from WPI, WPC, slow release casein, etc. In fact, as an experiment I replaced all protein supplement with whole foods for a year (keeping macros and calories the same) and noticed NO differences in the quality and rate of muscle built/retained. I still supplement with protein (purely because it's easier to control fat intake), but now only use the cheaper options like Venom or Bulk to hit my 2g per lb daily. There's a lot of bioscience up in this thread - you're not Mr Olympia and if the fillers/gimmicks in these products help at ALL it would be negligible for a natural bodybuilder. Just ensure you're eating 10-20% above caloric maintenance requirements and incorporating progressive overload into your workouts and you're 95% there. And don't pay too much for supplements :-) /rant

    For anyone interested in the topic that has unfolded I recommend getting a copy of Lyle McDonalds 'The Protein Book'. It's a good read and goes into a decent amount of detail that covers just about everything a bodybuilder needs to know on the topic. I’m not at all connected to Lyle or anywhere that sells his book, just a satisfied customer.

    Don't neg because you don't like the product, I don't think that's fair. On a side note i don't think it really has that much 'filler' as everyone is going crazy about.

    I find it funny how a lot of people look to find the leanest most expensive protein powder and don't even think about what they are aiming to achieve. The only time you need a lean protein powder with no sugars and carbs is when your at contest levels which 99% of gym goers don't strive to reach. Protein powder is not a magical ingredient that will make you muscular, it is simply convenience.
