Excellent Post Work-Out Protein
By Disco Fever
I've tried a couple of others before this - BSN Syntha 6 and BeachBody Men's Strength and Muscle Formula - and I won't be looking for another. I've been using it about a month now and my gains are noticeable. I'm sure there are lots of other products that will give good gains but do they also taste excellent and mix easily? The chocolate tastes like YooHoo and goes down very easy. It doesn't bloat at all. It also mixes like a dream. I use a funnel and pour two scoops into my water bottle ( not a shaker bottle just a plain old 16 oz water bottle ) and with a couple of shakes it is complete mixed. Since using Pro Complex, I've also tried Nitro-Core, Vassive-NO, and ON's Casein and I only have good things to say about the company and their products. I've recommended Pro Complex to a couple of friends and they speak highly of it as well.

Weight Loss Product
By Jamie White
Only 28 years old, newly married, and 360lbs, I needed so serious intervention for my health. After seeing many doctors and considering weightloss surgery, I turned to this clean source of Protein Whey. I learned from reading health websites, books, articles, reviews, etc. that protein weigh is natural and can assist in weight loss.After purchasing this product on many occasions and using it as a meal replacement for breakfast and lunch (2 scoops each time) the weight began falling off me. Many fitness gurus told me that it was too much protein, which I knew and I made sure that I drunk at least 6 - 17oz bottles of water a day. Currently, I an 29 years old (one year later) and I weight eaxactly 271 pounds! With moderate exercise (walk 30 minutes a day,watching what I eat, taking vitamins such as B-12, Cod Liver Oil, CLAs, and carb blockers (when those cravings hit me on the weekend), I was able to lose the weight over a period of time in a healthy way. Not too fast and not too slow.This product is great and is not only for those buff men and women who lift weights, but also for those who would like to lose a few extra pounds, or like me a whole lot of pounds! Simply use this as a meal replacement for breakfast and lunch, have a"begger's meal" before 6:00 and plenty of vegetables and 3 fruits throughout the day. Oh, and don't forget plenty of water. this product will literally have you shedding water and fat throughout the day.....naturally.

It's the Aminogen
By Jeff Durbin
OK, the title of the review is a bit misleading because it is not JUST the Aminogen but one of the ways Optimum Nutrition separates their protein products from other brands is their use of Aminogen. It's a rather pricey additive that increases the body's ability to absorb the protein as it passes through the digestive system. What's the point of buying protein powder and then having some portion of it pass through your system unabsorbed? The fact that ON pays the extra cost to include Aminogen in their product tells me a lot about their attitude towards their materials.I will add one additional comment though. I never use two scoops of the protein because most people's digestive systems cannot absorb that much even with the Aminogen.I have used ON's Hydrowhey, which is micronized ("pre-digested") so it gets absorbed into the bloodstream as quickly as possible. That's a good product if you need a quick shot of protein before working out. The ideal use is if you workout early in the morning then it's the best way to get primed after you get up before you head to the gym.I also use ON's casein powder. Casein is also from milk but it is larger molecules so it gets absorbed MUCH slower than whey. It's kind of the opposite of micronized whey protein.I have had good results with all of the Optimum Nutrition products.I try to buy ON Pro Complex APS for $11 per pound or less including tax and shipping. That's a good price. This does NOT apply to the "Gainer" version though which is packed with carbohydrates for those 98 pound weaklings trying to add weight.
