Shipping is a flat $7 it seems, so unlikely
So this is basically reducing shipping to $2? Not too bad if you're going to order from here anyway
Not even worth $1 IMO

Bit of a worry given protein supplements lack of effect and inferiority to eating food to gain protein.
In case you're not trolling — agree that consuming protein through quality food is generally a good thing!
Your assertions that protein supps (1) lack effect, and (2) inferior to eating food — hmm, I'm not so sure.
From the British Journal of Sports Medicine A systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression of the effect of protein supplementation on resistance training-induced gains in muscle mass and strength in healthy adults:
Dietary protein supplementation significantly enhanced changes in muscle strength and size during prolonged RET in healthy adults. Increasing age reduces and training experience increases the efficacy of protein supplementation during RET. With protein supplementation, protein intakes at amounts greater than ~1.6 g/kg/day do not further contribute RET-induced gains in FFM.
You could still be right about protein supps being inferior to taking protein through food, but if it is (I haven't read anything about this) is it inferior by 1%, 5%, 25%?
Didn't neg you FWIW.
Is their creatine or pre workout any good?
Their creatine is fine, pretty much the same as what I have gotten from most places. No idea on the pre-workout, though
Thanks just ordered some creatine for $17 shipped :)
Their pre-workout is comparible to what's around. Good for the price though.
Better to get a 500ml Rockstar sugar free from local IGA/Foodland for $2.70 honestly over preworkout, in USA monster pretty much sponsors all the major powerlifting gyms.
So ads told you that drinking a soft drink was the way to get them gains.
Creatine at least has some evidence showing it's minimal to no effects but I doubt you can say that for soft drinks.
I think he's after the effects of the caffeine in the soft drink, which are also somewhat proven to occur (beneficial or not, I don't know - I just see caffeine is often used for a pre-workout)
Can't beat tried and true beta alinine and citruline mallate then stack the rockstar on top beast mode!
Used to be a big fan but prices are across the board higher than VPA (who is my new go to). VPA also have free shipping above $99.
I think Aminoz is still cheaper? If you sub to thier newsletter, they keep sending 20% off code.
Last time I checked the protein profile of WPI side to side between VPA and Amino Z, VPA came out on top.
I just checked. No comparisons. Aminoz wins.
Oh really! Ive been a big fan for years, though noticed prices increasing
How you find the VPA in comparison?
My go to is protein matrix, and casien proteins mainly
I’ve heard good things about Amino Z, if anyone is looking for an alternative to bulk nutrients.
There’s a code going around on OzB.
I’ve just ordered from them. Not sure if they’re any good, but we’ll see. Just posting about this here for anyone interested in an alternative. I think the discount was for 20% off.
I didn't see that deal - can you link it here?
Following

Code is: OM-22 - I just checked and it’s 22% off for $199+, otherwise 20% off for <$199.
Mod: Referral codes in comments not allowed.
I use a few of their products, no problems.
I was trying out some expired codes
This here, the real ozbargain spirit !! ;-)
These guys do regular testing of their protein content. Did they ever mention safety? It is not Australian but still and excerpt from the site The Best & Worst Protein Powder Products
When it comes to protein powders, consumers are looking for clean protein to complement their already healthy lifestyle choices. We tested 134 of the top-selling protein powders for how clean they were. Clean Label Project has seen elevated levels of heavy metals including Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury as well as BPA leaching from packaging into the finished product.
Good question. I bought some protein powder just yesterday and was wondering the same thing.
I think the bulknutrients website said they use grass-fed, hormone-free whey for their protein powder (obv the regular, non-vegan stuff). They also had pretty certificates freely available on the website showing that they get their stuff regularly tested.
I bought my protein powder yesterday for the first time in over a year, so I’m not familiar with current offerings on the market. See my post above where I mentioned Amino Z as an alternative vendor. They also advertise protein-free, hormone-free whey in their protein powder. They also had certificates on their website showing external testing. They also said that they manufacture the protein powder locally, which was enough for me to feel comfortable buying from them.
I’ve sent them an email asking the question. Will post once get a response.
the main difference I see is that AminoZ "lab tests" aren't independent. Those are just manufacturer Certificate of Analysis.
Real third party analysis is testing what your manufacturer tells you. There are a few Australian companies using the National Measurement Institute (government run) for this.
You gotta do your research.
If you look at AminoZ WPI description they claim Australian made. Look at their latest "lab test" and if you google the lab tech's name you can see that they work for Wisconsin Whey in the US: https://www.zoominfo.com/p/Jesse-Flug/4163887542
IMO there is nothing wrong with US Whey - but don't try to pass yourself off as something you aren't I reckon.I've received an initial response and I've sent them an answer requesting COA for Whey Protein Isolate because that's what I use. I'll post back once I get a response on that one.
Thank you for taking the time to write in to check this with us.
Heavy Metal testing is done by us periodically, yes. About twice a year we will have a random selection of products sent off for testing for customer reassurance. I'm not aware of any other Australian owned supplement company conducting their own. We have never seen a heavy metal spec that was out of spec.
It is however done at every single batch made by the dairy manufacturer. You can't release a batch out for human consumption without one that passes.
The dairy industry is one that has the highest and strictest food standards, remembering that the very same whey you purchase from us will need to make it's way into hospitals to treat patients as well as into baby formula's. New-born's are drinking it from birth. The safety levels of a Whey protein isn't taken lightly, so the article is a little suspicious that high heavy metal levels would be found in a whey protein powder.I suspect this happens, but is not limited to, two reasons:
Too many change of hands once the whey protein is received to the protein supplement company. Anything could happen to it in those change of hands. We are supplied direct from the dairy manufacturer distributer.
Perhaps those smaller and more amateur run companies just don't have the food hygiene safety plan that is needed in the factory they are working out of with no licensing? We are licenced by Dairy Tasmania, and need to pass yearly inspection for our license to be renewed every year. A renewal that we have never failed in near 15 years here.
The link you sent me was dead, but that's okay, it sounds like one we have been sent many times over the years before. The final point I would like to make can refer to the excerpt you left for me.
One of the lines in the excerpt mentioned "elevated heavy metals."
As long as there is no misunderstanding that protein powders will naturally contain heavy metals in some amount. It is impossible to have absolutely zero in a powder. In defence of the powders that they tested, as long as the heavy metals are within the allowing limits set by strict Australian Food standards…Arsenic - 1mg
Cadmium - .1mg
Lead - .2mg
Mercury - .1mg
Tin – 250mg (for canned food)…then that is fine. You want to be sure the authors of the article aren't misleading the reader into thinking that a protein powder that was found to have heavy metals in it is suddenly "bad." This is natural. You can't have them at zero as mentioned.
What needs to be explained is if they were within the allowing limits set by that countries Food Standards.Please let me know if you have any further questions you would like to ask. I'll be here to help answer for you.
Thank you and kind regards,
These brands don't even appear to be the top selling US brands, very odd list.
You'll probably find a lot of the bulk suppliers get their protein from similar sources and then mix flavouring / repackage locally.

Thanks can you get anything for $5 inculding shipping?
