unflavoured protein

[wopo]

hi there, i have been looking at getting some protein powder and noticed the unflavoured stuff is ALOT cheaper. im over on the west island and found this site and was wondering if anybody knew anything about this company. http://proteindirect.com.au. The price seems really good. Is there anybody here from australia by any chance that has used this?

Also, is it worth adding anything to the unflavoured protein like L-Glutamine or anything else and how much if i want to bulk up. Peoples thoughts would be great. Was also thinking of getting both wpc and wpi and using wpi post workout and wpc throughout the day or maybe mixing it. What does everyone else do?

unflavoured protein is good if you want to add stuff to it, but mixing it with water gets really bad really fast. try get some from fonterra if you have hookups or davis trading.

from aus but living here, no haven't heard of them, I use evelyn faye / complete health in Melbourne, they do mailorder too.

Unflavoured - I would use rice protein powder, the lady bird brand - there was another brand I have, will sus out and get back to you.

unflavoured whey, why not balance?

but unflavoured, why would you do it - ewwww.

[luv.me.oats]

yes take l-glutamine that will help recovery

creatine for bulking

but post workout I'd have carbs and protein together, like a banana or my training mate does, glucose and protein.

redbak is cheap and maxx too in aus

Hey thanks laurasaur and love me oats for your replies. I have been looking at redback and the cheapest i can find it is 176 for 3kg although i havent searched online so im sure i could find it a bit cheaper. The unflavoured stuff though is 85 for 3kg of wpi.

What do you mean laurasaur how it goes bad really fast? i guess it just tastes horrible? The way i see it, i've got 176-85 = $91 to add a few other things to it and make it taste better etc and still be in front. I've never had the stuff so i wouldn't know what it tastes like but as long as i can get it down the hatch i'm happy. Yes i'm a tight arse :nod: i'm a student.

Yeah i will definately have some sort of carbs in my pwo shake. Probably banana and blueberries in the blender and maybe that dextrose stuff i've been reading about. I'm kind of new to this so i haven't heard of the other brands you mentioned but i will have a search on the net. So yeh i guess i will add creatine and l glutamine too. cheers

Eat Me have unflavoured whey protein powder (3kg/$115) and a really good unflavoured whey protein isolate (which is more expensive). Probably your cheapest option if you are buying a smaller amount. http://www.eatme.net.nz or try the balance unflavoured whey protein isolate at Health 2000.

Unflavoured powder is great if you have a blender - add banana for flavour.
