2.97¢/g Protein - Sports Research Whey Isolate [amazon.com]Price: $46.89 for 5 lbs.15.4% of Protein is Leucine69.4% of mass is Protein71.4% of calories are Protein
First the price. 2.97 cents per gram for isolate is a good, but not fantastic price. They claim to have a few additions most competitors do not:
- They claim to boost their leucine content, adding an extra gram per serving, which could have value for gainz.
- It is sweetened with Stevia instead of Sucralose (for folks who care)
However, they claim to be mostly isolate. The first ingredient is isolate, and the second is natural flavoring. Sodium Caseinate is the third ingredient, which is also protein (casein).
The nutrition information looks more like a concentrate product than an isolate product. I would expect most isolates to be about 90% protein, maybe more, but this product is only 70% protein, consistent with most concentrate products. It could be that it is isolate and their natural flavoring is "bigger" than other brands, or there are other fillers. It also has 3.5g of fat, 3g saturated. Isolates usually filter most of this out - it could be not filtered out, or it could be added. I do not know.
Given the extra fat, calories, and flavoring in an isolate product, I would expect it to taste good (despite the stevia - I personally prefer sucralose). But, I'm far too much of a cheapskate to buy it.

To be fair, they are a supplement brand. Their omega 3s are literally sold at Costco. They don't specialize in protein like all the other protein brands.

Thanks for the analysis.
I bought the chocolate flavor a few months back and I do have to say, it is hands down the best tasting chocolate protein I've ever had. (I've had many from top brands including ON, Dymatize, myprotein, bsn, muscle milk... Etc)
Wife hates chocolate protein and I told her to just drink it. In the middle of bashing chocolate protein saying "you know I don't like...." She takes a swig and her eyes open up. She continues "but I can drink this!"
Fast forward like 8 months and I got her parents making ice cream out of this protein (ninja creami deluxe, 4 scoops protein, 2 cups whole milk) and they're loving it. Her dad says gunna try with water next cause it's actually too rich in flavor.
So yeah, I think they do put in a lot of flavor. It's good too. Assuming they're truthful on putting in isolate vs concentrate, I def would recommend at this price point.
Because its for keto. Thus the low calorie count, cab macros, and MCT oil.

Unless the world is definitely as dangerous as all the ninnying says it is
In the end the difference isn't the biggest difference in your muscle growth but it's good to know there's numbers being crunched rather than "it's all the same... don't look at it... etc"
Is this a good deal for ISOLATE?

Bump!
Is this a good deal for ISOLATE?
It's about 8 per lb for concentrate. Flavors for isolate depending on quantity are 12 to 13 per lb. Not bad not great, good quality % protein though. Not low 70 or 80. Close to 90

I've had isolate from both before, myprotien mixes easier, no clumps. I'm lactose intolerant. Both are easy on my stomach.
