Naturaltein fermented yeast protein
Yes it does taste way better than your average plant protein I’m using for last 2montha
I think it is better to just look for those lab test results and make a choice yourself. I am trying out different stuff too to figure out what's best for me. Tried TWT unflavoured but realized unflavoured wasn't for me. Then switched to Naturaltein pistachio 30g was good. Not that great tasting. Had pistachio nuts in them that tasted off. The Stevia after flavour was strong but I got used to all that within a week. Now I'm trying their chocolate flavour which I didn't like at all. Will try some other brands next.
I’ve been only on TWT for about a year now. Tried Naturaltein for the first time earlier yesterday. Too soon to tell maybe, but so far, Naturaltein (cocoa flavour) has got me feeling better than on TWT (cocoa). TWT unflavoured is neutral. TWT Plant Protein is “thick” and heavier (literally), but that’s expected. Yet to try other brands (ofc, “Trustified” only).
I quit ON last yr too and tried a lot of protein so far im liking naturaltien a lot.
im using the unflavoured from amul never had any foaming issues at all, when u used to have naturaltein it foamed more tbh
I wouldn't be too hasty to blame just the maltodextrin for your digestive issues, maltodextein is bad but some people have issues digesting lactose, so maybe try isolate protein (where the lactose is removed). If I were you, this is what I'd do, try Whey Concentrate of a different brand. If the digestion issue persists then move on to Whey Isolate. As for the question you asked as to what brand I'd suggest, that would depend on the budget. I personally purchase my protein in the 2 to 2.5K range, currently I'm using Muscle Nectar which is a blend of Isolate & Concentrate & costs around 2.3K, i have previously used Avvatar, Muscleblaze, Naturaltein & Fuel One. I do not purchase Muscleblaze & Avvatar anymore because they have become ridiculously & unreasonably expensive and cost around 3K right now. P.S : I wrote all that jazz under the assumption that you are unaware of different types of whey, if you're already aware Please accept my apologies for giving unsolicited gyaan.
