If only they all could taste like Crush orange soda.

Exactly, a recent article talked about this and how they are poor sources with very low bioavailability.

If the solution contains the proper amount of filler or carrier proteins (e.g. lactoalbumin bovine albumin etc), then the shelf life of amino acid activity can be increased from about a month to a year, depending on formulation.

I've tried them all. I've always thought as though they've never done anything for me until I tried Inner Armour's Nitro Peak 50g. I just got back from afghanistan and that was the only protein I could get my hands on and I made tremendous improvements in strength and size. But goatfishtwo I think is right. I'm not sure how long protein can be stable in a liquid environment. Whenever I've taken them I just subtract 25% of there protein and use that amount as the actual amount. There's no science in that, just my own thing. I'll ask my girl, shes has a double-major in biology and chemistry.

That's actually a pretty good rule of thumb when dealing with prepackaged protein drinks. Most companies label carrier proteins in their overall totals anyways.



I've tried it and it tasted horrible.

Every single one of these protein shots I have ever tried had a taste that would make you rethink your life.

I'm a bodybuilder. My fiance is about to graduate with her master's in molecular biology.

I've got me a little miss Doctor (MD) at home. Just made sense! Lol
