is this why I get stomach ache when I take this 😭
The only reason I ordered was because I got it in an offer, at around 2099/kg. So, for that, it's fine, but yeah, I agree that this brand is not what they claim to be, and the pricing is atrocious.
Premium brand with non premium quality.
If it's any consolation - I'm having twt for 3 months now. All reports normal.
A coop. I don’t think it is that rare or unheard of. But then it will become similar to the food pharmer whey, right? You reduce the marketing and fancy packaging costs. But 1-2 people have to dedicate their time for free, basic packaging, shipping, and testing. If the whey above is legit then maybe 1400/kg for unflavored raw whey? But then at that price point you are already close to some companies when they are on offer. Whole truth raw concentrate can be had for 1600 with offers.
Whole truth also raw whey concentrate for 2400/kg. I don’t think that is a blend. Only the flavored ones are blend and they sell for 3k+ except during discounts.
If you want cheapest with good quality. Go with plant protein. OWN can be good. If in whey you want cheap go with unflavored concentrate. Amul, naturaltein, TWT. Amul would be cheapest due to IPL and raw material factor. These have some trade off like taste. Can use 0 kcal sweetner separately and make shakes etc.
Thanks for the info, now it makes all the sense as to why I’ve been having gut issues and cravings. Which protein powder should i replace it with?
Thanks for the info man. I recently purchased The whole truth unflavoured concentrate and it feels so light. I am loving it. Also i have minimized outside deep fried food. My gut haven’t felt better like this for so long.
