I own a gym and used to carry the Ascent lineup but stopped when Costco picked up the brand maybe 4 years ago and discontinued the protein coconut water. The $44 price is my wholesale cost and I can't compete with it so product just sat on the shelf. For those unfamiliar with the brand, the "native whey" refers to a process patented by the parent company where they can remove the whey isolate from whole milk in a single processing step. Usually, it goes something like: whole milk processed to yield whey protein (contains lactose still) and casein, then the whey is processed again to yield whey isolate (lactose free). So, this less processed and they generally use "better" and fewer ingredients than other proteins.
Several people are asking about unflavored protein, Ascent makes that as well if you are interested but you won't find that in the warehouses. I've only ever seen chocolate and vanilla 4# in store. They sell 1# and 2# on the website but only produce the unflavored in the 2# bag.

what's with 5 pounds now being 4.3

I guess MyProtein isn't going back to $50 anytime this year, maybe not this decade

Seconded. Difficult to find unflavored with a good price and quality.

No Sucralose, finally. It just uses Stevia, which comes from a plant, so it's solid. Price-wise, it's pretty good. Most 4lb-5lb bags are in the $70 to $80 range.

Pick one. Price or quality? Isopure probably has THE best non-flavored whey protein on the market but it's unfortunately pricey. You can get them at Sam's Club though.

Thanks OP! Gonna order the chocolate to try. I normally buy Sports Research Vanilla when it's on sale, but wouldn't mind a different flavor (chocolate) to change it up. The Sports Research Vanilla uses stevia and is similarly priced when on sale, but the chocolate unfortunately contains sucralose.

Isopure most definitely does NOT have the BEST unflavored whey. Lots of better companies and products. And you can get 10lbs of isolate(best) or concentrate(still good) for $80-100 or better fairly often. I buy 30lbs at a time. Unflavored is the way to go since youre not paying for filler garbage. Just gotta read the label.

I used this before our Costco started carrying Levels. They are both about the same, Ascent maybe a bit better. Great product. I used it for years and will get some in warehouse when I go.

Seems that isopure is permanently gone at Costco. I tried this powder worried about my stomach but so far so good.

I highly recommend True Nutrition.

You can custom make a blend, or order their ready made products. Excellent quality and reasonable price.
