That was until recently - I was tempted in to going in to a store near my work by the half price offer on their Precision Engineered Whey Protein. I read up the ingredient list and was very pleased with what I saw, there was no cheap bulking ingredients like maltodextrin or dextrose but they had included hydrowhey (the fastest acting protein available). This combined with whey isolate and concentrate makes the perfect post workout protein with a broad spectrum of amino acids and superfast acting protein. I think I paid £16.99 for a 2lb tub which at todays prices is actually very good, I have had the vanilla and chocolate so far and they are both nice as long as you dont mix them with too much water!! I have had good results since using this protein with recovery, strength and size all increasing - thats why I am giving it the following ratings:
Value: 3/5 (Very good if on half price, otherwise expensive)
Taste: 3/5 (Ok unless mised with too much water but not the best I've had)
Ingredients: 5/5 (inclusion of hydrowhey makes this a 5)
Effectiveness: 5/5 (couldn't ask for more from a whey protein powder)
Total: 16/20 (a good solid product, definately worth buying if on offer)
I also bought some of their max strength amino acids as they were on half price too, 150 of their 1500mg amino acid pills cost me £7.49 which is an absolute bargain in my opinion. These aminos contain a full spectrum amino profile which means that they are the perfect building blocks for muscle and have many other useful functions within the body. One thing I have noticed since taking these is my energy levels have shot up, playing indoor football last week for two games in a row and being able to run non-stop is something I'm not used to. I have found that I am aching less from heavy weights workouts and muscle recovery is quicker that if just supplementing with Whey alone. I will definately be continuing to take aminos for the forseeable future. In the past taking Amino's has given me an upset stomach - I have had absolutely no negative side effects from these.
Value: 4/5 (Very good if on half price, otherwise a tad expensive)
Taste: N/A (pills are massive though and hard to swallow)
Ingredients: 5/5 (full spectrum of aminos)
Effectiveness: 5/5 (Increase in energy, muscle recovery and general well being)
Total: 14/15 (A brilliant supplement, will be buying again even if it isnt H&B)
