Review: Tastes good, good protein supplement. - I’m not an athlete. I’m exercising more and plagued with bad muscle aches and cramps that didn’t ever seem to get better. I’ve been like this my entire life, including my athletic teen years. I was always extremely sore after any workout. Anyway, after logging my food for awhile I realized I have low daily protein intake, around 20-35g/day, and that apparently can cause the soreness and cramps I described. So I gave this a shot after exercising and noticed that I don’t feel the same amount of soreness. My muscles still feel tired but not nearly the same. Could be a coincidence, but I’m sold. The mix tastes good. I got the chocolate malt flavor. I had it with milk the first couple of times (no cold drinking water), and could barely tolerate it. I had it with cold water today and think it tastes much better. Update: still experiencing the same benefits re muscle soreness. I spent the last two days pulling an ungodly amount of weeds in my yard, then ran 3.5 miles both days too. I had very slight soreness in my back that was completely gone after one day, and some mild soreness in my legs that’s barely noticeable. Still convinced it’s the protein powder. FLAVOR UPDATE: I got the strawberry today and prefer it to the chocolate malt. It tastes like strawberry cake batter. Update 2: added strength training. Still not feeling much next-day soreness, and yesterday I really pushed myself so that I was shaking near the end. I thought those muscles would be horribly sore for sure today but there’s barely any soreness. It’s almost time to get a new container of this and I’ll do a flavor update then. (Probably) final update: I got cookies and cream next and that flavor tastes the best imo. Delicious and not too sweet. However, that flavor had different ingredients and it made my stomach so sick. I ended up throwing it out and got mocha flavor because it had less ingredients. It tastes ok, easily the most bland of the flavors I’ve reviewed. But honestly I can’t stomach it anymore. Just thinking about any of the flavors makes my stomach feel sick. Effectiveness-wise: my husband and I spent a day kayaking (we were out on the water about 7 hours). I drank two scoops of this when we got home and felt NO soreness the next day, whereas my husband felt quite sore. Still sold on protein powder. I also started drinking a berry flavor green powder and decided to mix it with plain whey protein powder (bulk supplements). I plan to go this route for the foreseeable future. Best wishes all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Body Fortress Super Advanced has 30 gr protein per scoop, and ON has 24 gr.  what's the difference?**
A: ON Gold Standard has a 31g serving size, and Body Fortress Super Advanced Isolate has a 38g serving size. Larger serving size = more protein. It's really as simple as that. It's got nothing to do with the "bro science" in some of the answers. To be sure, if you convert them to the same 31 gram serving size, then ON has 24 grams of protein, and Body Fortress has 24.5 grams of protein. 

Companies play around with the serving sizes so they can put "60 grams of protein!!!!!!" in the advertising, but if you do the math, then it's usually about the same amount.

**Q: Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?**
A: There is NO healing of a rotator cuff tear...none! This has to be surgically repaired.  IF you're lucky, you may be able to have an endoscopic repair which takes much less time to recover. Otherwise, you will have to have a "full Open" repair which is much more involved and takes longer to heal. Trust me, I have been there...3 times all coming from very heavy benches and they were all "full open repairs." The first one I had was only a 1 centimeter tear and it never healed in 3 years. IF you have a true torn rotator cuff, NOTHING, (except surgery), will correct the problem.  ANYBODY who tells you they had one and they did this and that and it finally healed up didn't have a tear to begin with. More likely just a bad strain or severe inflammation from overworking the deltoid area. And be prepared for lots of rehab work and it will take you from 9-12 months to get back to where you were before the tear.

**Q: Is there a reason why the 5 lb is so much thicker than the 2 lb? i tried the 2 lb, liked it, and order 5...outside of jug seems the same...**
A: Get something like an "AMIR 500g/0.01g Digital Kitchen Scale". They're twelve bucks & quite accurate.  I suspect the powder is compressed, making the scoops a bit heavy.  Measuring by weight instead of volume should provide more consistent results.

**Q: If I were to make protein shakes with single serving size portions about 5 days/week, how long do you think a 2 lb container would last me? 5 lb? THX**
A: I mean, my dude, i am  horrifying at math but all you really need to do is look at the servings in each container. So 29 servings.  .we already know there are 4 weeks in a month. 4×5 is 20 so that's 1 month right there. Since there is only 9 servings left... That's another week (5 days) and another week, all but one day (4 servings left)  so a month and a half would be how long the smaller one would last you. If it's the 5lb pack. Simply double that ... 1 1/2 doubled is 3 months... (You still have 1 lb left, which we know, that from your 2 lb container, you get about 14 servings in a lb) (since 2 lbs is 29) which brings you to another 3 (almost) weeks.


Making it almost 4 months of supplies. Offering the best offer for someone like you who has as many as you do (but your best bet may be going to Costco or another place with bulk bulk)
