Dymatize Elite WP Isolate 'Berry Blast'

[Construction Soldier]

Got this 5lb for $105. servs 73 per container. Only had a couple, but tastes really good! with water tastes good too. Would recommend it, esp if your over chocolate etc. It was an Isolate for the same price as the rest of the protiens (on,eas, bioplex) etc.

Have heard alot of controversy about dymatize, whats the craic with that and is it true etc?

Thats a good price for a 5 pounder of isolate. Where did you get it from?

[teamfatboy]

I like Dymatize WPI - except the Green Apple flavour. Berry's good - and not a common whey flavour here. I am soooo over Chocolate and Vanilla!

As I recall it, the story was that lab tests showed it wasn't delivering the advertised number of grams of protein per serve that the label stated...there's an old thread on here somewhere about it.

Where'd you see it at that price?

Protein Test Results

Many brands claim to possess products with market leading levels of protein but when they are placed under greater scrutiny, they just don’t stack up.

This means that as the consumer, you may well be paying for something that you simply aren’t receiving. We understand that you don’t want to pay for a product that doesn’t deliver on its claims. In a similar vein Reflex feel passionately about providing a product that delivers what it claims. Indeed, we often deliver greater levels of protein than we claim.

The purpose of these tests will be to check Reflex products alongside leading competitors who claim market leading levels of protein.

The tests will be carried out by independent ISO accredited laboratories who have no connection or affiliation with Reflex. The results will be captured below with the original result certificates included in the form of pdf documents.

Berry Flavour, new to me, but well worth the new taste. Chocolate gets old quick. dymatize chocolate its pretty yuk. very sweet, way to sweet im not a sweet tooth at all

I'm using the Dymatize ISO-100 Berry at present and really liking it. Two large scoops (about 55g protein) in not much water tastes great. It doesn't get too thick and hard to drink either

btw, I don't know what the hell you guys are comparing this to when you say it tastes good, because IMO it tastes like CRAP. and is sweetened with aspartame... 2 big negatives in any protein powder haha.

[Sammygirl1]

I paid $180 for it so around $120 I think. I've had one scoop out of it. Hey if it was butterscotch toffee I'd keep it (-: Love that flavour as well

You may be half right- taste's subjective, I didn't mind it...but I'd overlooked the aspartame...which is indeed a big negative.

In your view, is sucralose better as a sweetener?
