    How long does this stuff last? I have several bags, some opened, which have been in my cupboard for months, maybe even over a year? Should I toss it all?

    • mhc on 15/02/2024 - 09:59

      a year old one would be tossed. I would check it out first, if it dissolves and tastes fine would use it. :)

      In my experience, really depends on how it was stored (ie, whether it was kept in a cool spot). But if unopened, should be good to use for at least a few months after the best-by date.

      @Levathian if it's kept cool and dry, it should be good until BB date, but smell/taste will be most telling. Usually the flavour will start to be affected after a long period.

    Green tea matcha ice cream flavour was delicious — thanks OP.

    If I can give some feedback — I love your WPI but don't use it as much when I'm having a lot of shakes (ie bulking) because the xantham gum is a bit rough on the stomach in higher volumes. If you ever had an interest, just one option (maybe vanilla or chocolate) without the xantham gum, would be an amazing product for people who avoid that ingredient. I appreciate the xantham is what gives your shakes that smooth texture, though.

      Thanks for the feedback on this @bangiebargie I'll pass this along to our team.

      We did originally omit xanthan gum, but then added this as an ingredient to improve the overall texture and mouth feel. One concern is obviously how this affects anyone who is more sensitive to this ingredient, as you've identified.

      We will be reviewing this. Thanks!

        Hi Jay,
        What is your % of the WPI blend and does it contain any BCAAs like other brands do? I don't seem to find any details on the product page.

        Thanks.

        • Store Repaminozcomau @ Amino Z on 15/02/2024 - 11:54
          +1

          @sol3x if you go onto the "Nutritional Info" tab on the product page, you can see the percentage for each flavour. Unflavoured is 90%, whereas most flavours fall within 80-something percent. Aussie Choc Malt is the lowest and below 70% because we add actual malt into this which drops the protein % down.

          Also no, we don' add any amino acids into this product, all the protein comes from the WPI protein, not from additional added amino acids.

          I hope this helps!

          Jay

            @aminozcomau: Hi Jay,

            Just out of curiosity, why doesn't Amino Z create a WPI product that has BCAAs added, just like other brands on the market do? It'd be convenient for consumers. Thanks.

            • Store Repaminozcomau @ Amino Z on 22/02/2024 - 12:44

              @sol3x: Thanks for the suggestion @sol3x.

              We have considered this, but it really comes down to our capacity constraints right now. We are barely keeping up with the production of our WPI and to move into a new product line, it would require more people, capital investment into inventory, machinery, space etc.

              This certainly isn't a bad idea and it is something we will consider. However for now, we're trying to focus on getting on top of our current range before spreading ourselves too thin.

      @navyskies this one will be a little while off I'm afraid. We do have it on the books and we are still in the process of updating a formulation.

      However in the short-mid term, we have decided not to release it due to the presence of peanut as an allergen. Current we do not process peanuts at all within our facility and we will be looking to set up a dedicated peanut area so it is completely isolated. But due to budget constraints of being a small business, this will be a little while off and certainly not in the next few months.

      I too cannot wait for this one to return!

      Our protein is sourced from USA presently. I am unaware of any instantised WPI that is produced in Australia.

      Jay

      • mhc on 15/02/2024 - 12:49

        Do you have any produced in NZ. I am wary of US sourced products (not grass-fed, hormones' loaded)

          @mhc no, we do not have any NZ WPI protein currently. I can however confirm from our manufacturer that these are added-hormone-free cows and are partially grass fed (it is seasonal and is affected by the winter).

          Thanks for asking.

    Hi Jay, any chance we can get a pouches without the scoops? I've got so many from supporting you that I'm starting to throw the scoops away — which seem like a waste. Especially when they come in small-ish bags.

    • Store Repaminozcomau @ Amino Z on 15/02/2024 - 14:33
      +2

      @dottydotdot this is some feedback we have had in the past and we are still trying to figure out how to do this efficiently. Currently we don't have the capacity to create two separate lines (eg. one with scoops and one without), and many of our customers expect a scoop in the product, so we didn't want to eliminate it altogether.

      We are exploring options about adding them separately, but this is still a bit of a project to navigate through, and it also will create extra packaging to put the scoops into (so they are food safe - as we would not want our warehouse team handling the scoops unprotected).

      This is on our to-do list, particularly because of the potential for waste reduction and we are looking into this. It's just that we do not yet have any viable solution in place I'm afraid. Should you have any feedback or ideas, please do share.

  • John Doh on 15/02/2024 - 14:16

    @aminozcomau Any change you switching protein provider back to the old ones (pre - the batch that got bad due to high warehouse heat) ones two years ago? Somehow stomach not tolerating these new batches of unflavored protein and hard to mix as well. Had to switch brands unfortunately.

    • Store Repaminozcomau @ Amino Z on 15/02/2024 - 14:39

      @John Doh I'll have to speak with our team to see what raw material brand this was, but to be transparent, it is unlikely. Back then we were scrambling and purchasing practically any protein we could get our hands on that met our specs, due to a worldwide shortage. Within a 6 month period I believe we went through 4-5 brands of protein which created a horrible degree of inconsistency with our products.

      I am not 100% sure which brand this was, but should we be making changes I will be able to let you know.

      Your feedback is noted, I will share this with the team as we are always trying to improve the product.

      • John Doh on 15/02/2024 - 14:46

          Sorry @John Doh :( Yeah it is ultimately trying to do all of the above. But I will speak to the team about this.

          By the way, you don't happen to have a batch number, or possibly the order number related to the product you did like, do you? This would make it easier to track down (but if it was that long ago, I know that's a long shot!)

            @aminozcomau: batch number with expiry dates. I sent these back for replacements due to rancid sunflower lecithin smell. But these were top notch, mixed much better, i tolerated them much better.

              To confirm, these batches you've provided - are they the ones affected by the heat and we replaced them with a better product that you liked? Please let me know if I've misunderstood.

              With DIAAS, I did reach out to our manufacturer and they did not have anything testing their WPI specifically, so I don't have this information available I'm afraid.

    I remember as a kid I used to eat this stuff while training relatively high level. Then I found out whey is basically where you take the left over by product from manufacturing cheese, they dry it and sell you this stuff we buy.

    $40 kg I'd rather buy a kg of scotch fillet!

    • containsmsg on 15/02/2024 - 22:13

      You'd get somewhere between 3-4 times the amount of protein in a bag of whey than you would from the kg of scotch fillet.

    • Wolfenstein98k on 15/02/2024 - 22:43

      There's heaps of nutrition (mostly very bioavailable protein) in whey. That's why they sell it rather than discard it, and why everyone from bodybuilders to the CSIRO promote it for health and fitness.

      Hi @robbbyrob we don't yet. But this is a flavour that has been suggested for us that we are looking into. We don't have a formulation yet as it has proven to be a difficult one to flavour and so I cannot guarantee any timeline for a release. Some flavours can take a very long time to develop (months, sometimes more than a year). Sorry :(

      I'm afraid we don't have any samples in the melon flavour available presently. We are working on expanding our sample range due to a very high number of requests (currently we only have 7 of the flavours available).

      I know it's not ideal, but until we have the samples available, if in the future you do wish to order the Melon flavour and you receive it and don't like it, just reach out to us and we will happily replace it at our cost.

    I need to buy some protein asap.

    Also if you or someone else can recommend me what I should get. I’m on skinny side and started going to gym and looking to gain some weight. What do I look for? High carb? I’m new to this.

    • Store Repaminozcomau @ Amino Z on 20/02/2024 - 15:49

      @bhunter101 not very far away. We still cannot 100% confirm the launch date, but if you can hold out a little bit, perhaps up to a couple of weeks, we are planning on launching a big one.

      If you need anything to tie you over, I'd suggest just doing a smaller purchase in the meantime if you wish to jump on the bigger deal.

      If you're going into the gym and trying to gain weight, I would be looking toward a WPI protein powder for after your workout and a micronised creatine monohydrate.

      Nutrition is very important too, so you will need to increase your caloric intake from food in order to ensure you do obtain an energy surplus in your diet.

      Thanks for asking and for your interest in our range too!
